| Helping friends/relatives with system purchases, your experience. When my sister decided she wanted a separates system all of her own, she asked me for some advice. I suggested a pair of Harbeth SLH5s after reading nothing but praise for them. After a couple of careful home auditions she ended up buying a pai... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @mahgister Murder Most Foul (+Tempest) are 2 obvious candidates for recent songs that will endure for a very long time to come. @tylermunns Making movies or making music has nearly always been about primarily making money. Lasting works o... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Van Morrison has certainly written some sublime songs but which one comes closest to perfection? A very difficult question when you consider he wrote Brown Eyed Girl, Into the Mystic, And it Stoned Me etc. If I had to choose one, it might as wel... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @tony1954 Good music lasts. Why are there so many "oldies" stations these days? Because the 60’s and 70’s were the golden age of popular music. It’s not nostalgia, it’s that the music was just that great. Good music certainly does last. Pe... | |
| New McIntosh C22 - Upgrade Transparent Balanced Musiclink Plus @tony1954 Good music lasts. Why are there so many "oldies" stations these days?

| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) Some say that it's the music you hear in your teens that has the most lasting effect. Iny case I was into the Beatles whilst everyone else was into disco and ELO. Even if new music as an art form is reaching the end of new combinations/permutati... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @larsman Well, that's just it, nothing can recreate memories and feelings for me better than music. Perhaps they're forever intertwined together, somewhere outside space/time? I'd certainly like to think so. Everytime I hear Chirpy Cheep C... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @larsman, It was actually my sister that used to play them back in the 90s. She was then, and would probably like to think she still is now, an Indie kid. That was the time I’d hear her playing the Stone Roses, House of Love, the Wedding Presen... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @mijostyn "cheap stamped sheet metal sub chassis sitting atop three springs tuned to the wrong frequency and the crappy Masonite arm board flapping around in the breeze, the two piece platter that rings like a bell. The tiny little dink of a mot... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? If you're feeling low, really low, and this can happen to any of us for whatever reason, there aren't too many songs as good as expressing a total sense of desolation as this one. Inspiral Carpets - This is How it Feels There's a funeral i... | |
| How did you get started in this hobby @scott22 From reading the responces it looks like physical head tramma, electro shock,genetic predispositon,and the influnce of significent others are the root causes of becoming an audiophile lol. Well, it's no secret that we audiophiles... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @edcyn I enjoy thread drift as much as the next guy or gal, but this thread has gone off the rails to the point where it’s now no more than a grab bag of miscellaneous vids. Either that or the universe is indeed awash with perfect songs. Wel... | |
| Amplifier Damage @rman9 Amps are weird in that things can go wrong even whilst they’re not doing much. All it would take is for just one component to fail... It’s extremely rare, but not impossible. However, in your case I don’t think there’s anything to w... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf "because IF you had done this you would not be posting the drivel that you do!" "Drivel", is that how you feel about your constant need to defend your beloved LP12? Seriously? Well then, perhaps you could suggest to us exactly ... | |
| How did you get started in this hobby A friend at university, Neil, introduced me to his system that was built around the NAD 3020. We’d sometimes go back to his after playing snooker. On the way there there we often passed what seemed to be a high end Hi-Fi store nr New Cavendish St.... |
