| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? @mahgister But my wife control the supply money all my life because i dont have time or interest for money management and my only expanses were for books and music... That's my situation too. As long as I can afford to buy what I want I hav... | |
| What's the point of reviewing? @skyscraper 8th-note, the one thing you’re more likely to get from Audiogon and other sites forum members is honesty about the shortcomings of various products. Site members will often point out shortcomings of a product that many professional ... | |
| Magico's M9 @2psyop Also that particular model did not come with a grill. That's an appalling lack of customer consideration from Magico. Absolutely appalling. | |
| What's the point of reviewing? @voodoolounge You're right in that everyone's rooms, systems, and ears/subjective opinions are different and in no way can replace listening for yourself. However that isn't always possible so we often turn to second and third hand opinions for... | |
| Garbage In Garbage out Mark Levinson himself was blessed with an excellent name for anyone trying to sell high end audio products. Lexus cars use Mark Levinson branded audio gear, but does he actually still own the rights to the Levinson brand name? @yesiam_a_pirat... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @dean_palmer "why are they not considered Hi-Fi?" Err... I think they would be by 99.99% of people if they heard them. Since the vast majority of the public regard Bose as being Hi-Fi, to all intents and purposes, they must be. I think it'... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @tokemon Yes, he did. However unlike other Robinson reviews he didn't really give much by way of direct head to head comparisons of the Elysian 4 and its rivals the way he usually does. Perhaps, at this level of performance, there's really not ... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @mahgister Then i dont know about you but i dont see anything well before the demise of these egoistics monsters... I agree. Unfortunately the history of our world is full of such people. I have no problem with Chinese produced goods. All... | |
| Does Anyone Use Pro Audio Speakers as their Main? @cmpunk01 That's a good summing up of the many reasons why someone may well choose pro audio speakers. Versality is certainly an important factor and pro speakers always tend to be far more versatile. This includes having more ways of adjusting... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @kokakolia Absolutely I do. It was one the worst decisions I ever made. I took it to one of one of those cash exchange stores and got back a pittance (£20 I think). Stupid, stupid, stupid. It wasn't taking up too much space and owning 2 amps i... | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? @mbmi Great point. Fun is usually what initially gets us into this hobby. Those early years of discovery were certainly exciting for me. It was only much later that a certain amount of world weary cynicism began to creep in. At the start of i... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @mahgister That’s an economics, history and politics lecture I never got at university. Quite right, despite appearances it’s not a question of us and them. It’s no longer even the UK v the US, or the US v China, or even Pepsi v Coke, McDonald... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @webking185 Yes, the internet age has forever changed consumer behaviour. Before it, we audiophiles were practically living in the dark ages. Where once even a little bit of specialised knowledge was scarce, limited to books and journals, now ... | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? @pabs85 Nicely put. YouTube clips certainly do not all sound alike. I'd go further and say that a well recorded YouTube video will tell you a lot more than any written subjective account ever could. The difference between any impression gaine... | |
| Google ads are rampant on the site Some form of adblocking is essential these days. We know sites make money by advertising and people clicking on links but these practices have now totally gotten out of hand on certain sites. Since neither Google, Microsoft or Apple will do anyt... |
