| Confused State of affairs: CD player @sudhirgoel, I'm glad to hear it, just remember the old trick about volume matching. If you could take a few notes, say on your phone, and share your findings with us I'm sure it would be much appreciated. The dealer can insist on what he/she like... | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player @sudhirgoel, no I have not heard either of the CD players in question but out of all the ones I have heard (Kenwood, Sony, Arcam, Marantz, Cambridge etc) my experience is that the differences in sound quality were minimal. And not related to cost ... | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player Stick with the Oppo BDP 95.If you compared them blind you might not hear a difference.Besides, why spend $$$$$ for 2 hours listening a week if it is merely more hassle? With a system like yours you can only really go sideways. However, if the urge... | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... Like any of the great artists the Beatles were entirely of their own time. If they had formed in the 1980s things would have been completely different. Right place, right time. | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) @schubert, wasn't this always the way? Everything is of its time, no escaping that but civilisation goes up and down. Between the end of the great Greek golden age and the beginnings of the Renaissance very little progress seemed to happen. Then i... | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. The Beatles are a musical phenomenon that becomes harder to believe with every passing year. Even the Faul saga is fascinating.https://www.google.com/amp/s/theunredacted.com/paul-is-dead-turn-me-on-dead-man/Or how about the famous Rick Rubin eulog... | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. https://youtu.be/oVME_l4IwIIYes, that's a pretty good analysis of where we are. The points regarding timbre are particularly unfortunate for those who care for such things. If only there was some way to make audiophiles look cool and sexy! As thin... | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? @gosta yes, the technology is definitely better, (give or take the old valve driven mixing desks) but I fear much of the old snobbish attitude to anything other than Classical or Jazz remains.Pop recordings and authenticity parted ways many decade... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "They called me up in TennesseeThey said "Tammy, stand by the JAMs"But if you don’t like what they’re going to do,You better not stop them ’cause they’re coming through(bring the beat back)(Hey hey)All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)(Hey hey)All... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? @clarinetmonster2, I totally agree. Well said.Adding body and warmth to the sound naturally balances the sound. It's a win win situation with no sacrificing of resolution as proposed by other suggestions. | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... Upgrading from the 30.1s is a challenge due to the lack of criticism regarding Harbeth speakers in general.Some of the above comments suggest that the bigger models in the range will give you more of the same as to what the M30.1s will give you. A... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Jim Morrison must have been reading Joseph Campbell when he wrote this line. It resonates increasingly with me as the years pass by."Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes"I don't exactly hate my job, well only sometimes, but still can't help ... | |
| Best rock song of all times 'When the Levee Breaks'. Led Zeppelin's take sounds like the end of the world. Out and out heavy Rock. | |
| Upgrade from Technics SP25 Might be worth upgrading to one of the new SL1200s or even an SP10.Here's a link to an interesting review of an SP10 mk2 by none other than British DJ Kenny Everett from Studio Sound dated September 1977!https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Studio... |
