| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @theaudiotweak Why hasn’t a magazine or reviewer taken this comparison style on since I started asking for this type of review 20 years ago? I asked several over the years Everyone would have saved a lot of time, angst, and money if someone ... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @the-audiophile-barista The interesting discussion is of course how much worth you should attribute to it, but claiming that differences cannot be heard is just factually wrong. Of course it is. To deny that there is an audible difference i... | |
| Happy New Year Everyone @tony1954 I just try and stay optimistic that at some point there will be just a tiny bit of good news. I don’t think there’s any point in relying upon the dehumanising mainstream media merchants of doom for any good news. However, as lo... | |
| Happy New Year Everyone Now, now Tony, let's not tempt fate! I thought the same this time last year and look what happened. Oh well, at least we're still all here, and as ever, we can take whatever we get with the very best of hope and intention. Happy New Year Every... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @the-audiophile-barista I recently posted a video comparing two loudspeakers. The difference is very clearly audible. If you can’t hear the difference on that video, its not because of YouTube. So yes, you can hear differences on YouTube. We... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @ozzy62 A difference is a difference no matter how bad the room or acoustics are. You might not hear a component or speaker perform at its potential, but if you can hear an improvement (or the other way) when something is swapped out, then it ex... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions @drawding Yes, that is a strange omission. They've been around for ages and ages but like a few other companies they've always somehow slipped under the mainstream reviewers radar. Perhaps they're publicity shy? Or perhaps it's the fear of ex... | |
| 2023 Audio System Wish List @stereo5 Best of luck. Nothing can matter more than good health. I hope you get some good news. Rather less importantly it would be nice if I could get to hear the Wharfedale Elysian 4 at some point in the next 12 months or even the Q Acoust... | |
| christmas music Christmas can be real tough sometimes but in the end we always try. What else is there better to do? | |
| Hi-Fi and the Folly of Perfection @danoroo You're not the only one. Just yesterday whilst doing the late Christmas shop I was telling my daughter just how much the rippled label on the honey jar was bothering me. Unfortunately all of the jars had labels with that same rippled ... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions @mijostyn "The job of a turntable is to spin at the proper speed, prevent any spurious vibration from getting to the tonearm and sound like NOTHING. Anything it adds to "the sound" is distortion. The job of the tonearm is to hold the cartridge ... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions 1200G / Rega 8 or 10 are fabulous looking turntables and whatever’s sonically left isn’t worth worrying about. It really, really isn’t. I’ve not heard the Rega 10 but the 8 was certainly impressive. Despite the low mass approach (or maybe becau... | |
| What are the characteristics of Hifi geared towards good reproduction of classical music? @tomcarr Good answer. Timbral resolution (instrument identification) always must come up very near the top for both classical and jazz. Unfortunately far far too many systems fail to deliver. | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero @vuch What is the problem with Magico speakers? I've never heard a pair yet I often read about dissatisfied listeners when it comes to Magico speakers. On paper it looks as if Alon Wolf has spared no expense in building the very best that curr... | |
| christmas music A friend recommended this video to me and I must admit I was surprised at the sheer amount of Christmas classics that were recorded way back in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Best news of all is that they might be out of copyright by now. It’s a pity t... |
