| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @magnuman That's pretty impressive by any standards. | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @kokakolia Your point of view is so problematic at a micro-economic level. Do you really think that multinational globalist companies care about any of that? You may as well make everyone in the West disappear from existence because there’... | |
| Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense @honeyooi A lot will depend upon where the sonic bottleneck (weakest component) is in your system. Usually it will be a mechanical transducer (something that turns vibrations into sound - turntable, or signal into sound - loudspeaker. Both of ... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @webking185 One of the iconic and most recognizable brand is Harley Davidson. those bikes are now made in China too. And no one will care if the quality is the same (or even better). Collectors/ investors/nostalgia buffs are a different breed... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. @webking185 Economies of scale. If it was made in the UK or US. $25K Modern day global business practices often make it a nonsense to judge products by price. This is all good news for the consumer and it's hardly surprising that many busin... | |
| Girl from Ipanima passed away Oh that is sad news indeed. She always seemed to be living forever young in the memory as if time could not touch her. Her beautifully recorded 1968 Windy album remains one of my absolute personal favourites. It's a wonderfully uplifting listen,... | |
| Does Anyone Use Pro Audio Speakers as their Main? @fac Surely that can't be right for all pro audio speakers? Some of these manufacturers pride themselves on having the flattest possible frequency response that would make many domestic designs look positively skewed. Their opinions are usuall... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities It is good to see you back Mahgister! I hope you've been keeping well. | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. The most expensive loudspeaker designed by Peter Comeau and we still have no idea how it sounds. These are several times more expensive than the highly regarded Lintons but are they worth that difference? I still remember his Heybrook HB1s from ... | |
| Have a reflective Memorial day. @2psyop cd318- A very valid and poignant point. And I asked for everyone to reflect. Still, I don’t honor and respect those who served, those who fight and those who paid the ultimate price any LESS because they fought in a rich man’s war, or fo... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey This is an interesting subject and quite a difficult one to draw any generalisations in. For what it's worth, back in the 1990s I experimented with various wall racks for my turntables and found that none of them really helped to the degree I had... | |
| Have a reflective Memorial day. Let’s face it, hardly anyone really cares about all those who tragically lost their lives fighting other people’s wars, do they? Or those who suffered terrible pain and injuries whilst doing so. Or even think of their loved ones and the impact i... | |
| How rare is an audiophile @thsaunders Fortunate to have traveled extensively... the common thread of the truly impressive individuals with whom lasting friendships have endured, is their including music in their lives, from epicurean tastes to the raw “thwannng” of a R&a... | |
| Recent discoveries or lesser known. I've somehow rediscovered The Kinks 1967 Something Else album. I originally owned a copy on vinyl some 30 years ago but until recently it never grabbed me the same way Village Green did. I probably gave the Something Else LP no more than half a d... | |
| Does Anyone Use Pro Audio Speakers as their Main? @engineears Bigger monitors geared toward mid-field listening or main monitors shouldn't have that issue, but they're not cheap. Just don't think that you can get away with the little desktop monitors in a full sized listening room. Agreed. ... |
