| Why so few devices with BNC's?? My Naim amps had BNC and DIN connectors. A real pain in the arse they were too. @charles1dad Some of the absolutely best sounding audio components are utilizing RCA connection. Agreed, but only 100%. | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? My Tannoy Dual Concentrics make vocals more legible than any speaker I've had beforehand. They also crossover unusually low at 1kHz. | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @thespeakerdude You have to have your priorities straight. You do. Even, if like me, after years of resistance, you're eventually forced into a reduced sugar/ carb diet. You don't have to give up sugar/ carbs, just reduce them and burn off ... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Alifib by Robert Wyatt No nit not Nit no not Nit nit folly bololey Alife my larder Alife my larder I read that the snooker player Steve Davis recommended that Rock Bottom was album was everyone should listen to, and he wasn't the only one... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @thespeakerdude When it comes to cycling I’m a fan of the Rega philosophy - lightness. Seriously, some lightweight bikes seem to ride themselves, whilst others not so light are a real slog. And yet, I’ve known people who could ride those horri... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @rbertalotto I'll repeat....It is NOT about what was better.....It was all about the satisfying experience listening to a set of speakers that certainly are NOT as good as the KEFs, but none the less, for six hours I was very well pleased.....I ... | |
| Lisa Marie Presley has passed away. @johnnycamp5 Also Elvis mother passed at 54 (same age as Lisa Marie) not at 46…also heart related. Tragedy upon tragedy. I always felt the loss of Gladys sent Elvis on a downward spiral and now it looks as if the suicide of her 27 year old ... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @jeffseight The Pass Amp Camp amps do not provide anywhere near the power those greedy LS 50s demand. What about the new amp with the KEFs? Good point. Maybe the Pass Lab ACA mini amp wasn’t doing the Kef’s any favours? The Fluance SX6s... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... High performance counts not Hi-End. Any correlation between the two is usually tenuous to say the least. Perhaps also in this case the Fluance's benefitted a little from being placed right next to the LS50s? Or maybe this is another example ... | |
| Lisa Marie Presley has passed away. Cardiac arrest at 42. It's been a bad few days with the death of Jeff Beck earlier this week. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? We understand your paranoia But we don’t want to play your game You think you’re cool and know what you are doing 666 is your name So while you’re jerking off each other You better bear this thought in mind Your time is up you better know it But m... | |
| Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy??? @erik_squires Vendors all want you to feel a certain connection to the brand. I mean, that's the entire purpose of branding. To sell you an idea on a name or symbol which you want to associate yourself with due to ..... whatever. It is akin t... | |
| Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy??? I certainly fell for the magazine fuelled Linn/Naim bullshit back in the 1980s. This, despite my reservations of one certain Ivor Tiefenbrun (Linn) he always sounded like a shifty individual. Julian Vereker (Naim) on the other hand seemed rather... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @nonoise Responses have gotten overly heated over such a small matter that it begs the question that there’s an underlying (latent) reason. There is an underlying reason and you don’t have to have live at 221b Baker Street, London to discer... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @mirolab If I were to then ask, "which color is better?", there's NO way you could assess that, because the photo is tainted by the light in the room, the camera used, and finally the monitor you are looking at. That's a good point. Things ... |
