My Next Upgrade: Speakers or Turntable?
@nyev  I think you've answered your own question.   "I have heard what newer higher end speakers can do when driven by the Diablo 300. More transparency, more holographic soundstage, more air, more dynamics, and better presence and bass for my ... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@djones51 "If the American Empire falls the world falls with it."   Can you expand on this a little, please? When Britain lost its empire it took several decades before most people here even realised. Somehow they were lead to believe that t... 
Thoughts on My Dedicated Listening Room
"...a dedicated room for audio? Ahh, if only I could be so lucky! If I was that lucky, I guess I'd be most concerned with just how lively I'd want the room to sound. Just how lively you might prefer will be a matter of personal taste, but I cer... 
Every day I see another turntable recommendation...
@ghdprentice I agree with what you're saying generally across the board. I have little doubt that a Planar 3 is considerably superior to my Rega 3 from the mid 80s. Nor that there are some fabulous designs around the $1k mark these days. I g...

@tylermunns These days, both sides of the aisle are advocating censorship. It’s one thing to get it from one side, but now we’re getting from both sides. This is a disturbing trend, to say the least. I consider it quite fair that someone, in li...

@wturkey  Perhaps Audiogon has a chance at “free” speech unlike big tech?   Absolutely. Our predecessors fought many a long hard battle to overcome censorship for a certain freedom of expression and opinion. So why stand back and allow these ...

@casaulguy  I know it's not on your radar but maybe you should also include the Technics decks for consideration? It's seems as if the audiophilliac himself, Steve Guttenberg, has finally seen the light shining from the East.    
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
Perhaps in order to understand just why censorship is bad we should take a look at its most ardent proponents, the extreme right and especially nowadays, the extreme left (some might argue the moderate left too).   Perhaps also a sense of perspe... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
@deludedaudiophile "I am an innate skeptic, but my experience and others demonstrated knowledge leads me to believe those who can demonstrate real expertise as opposed to those who claim it by virtue of simply using something."   Me too, altho... 
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
@pedroeb Cabinet resonances can be reduced but can they ever be reduced below the threshold of human hearing? Not to say that electrostatics and open baffles are perfect, but isn’t one of their major advantages the lack of a cabinet?      
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@mahgister am not in the minory relatively to a party or in the majority , i despise political borderline because they are UPROOTED from reality... BIDEN/TRUMP affair means nothing anywhere on the globe now... Correct   [I was behind Nobel pr... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
@jssmith  Unless they can statistically prove over a larger population that it sounds better, it don't mean jack. The ultimate approach in audio so far has been Floyd and Olive's at Harman, where they can predict with 0.86 correlation coefficient... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@jerryg123  Good point. We can all learn the lessons from the blatantly biased way the Twitter platform was run. And does matter?  $30 billion+ says that it does.   @mrskeptic  The 0-60 of a Mustang can be objectively tested. Almost all th... 
Reversing hearing loss with regenerative therapy
I really hope that this isn't just an irresponsible journalist making copy. When it comes to health it's  important to not give people false hope. I found the following line a little disturbing to read. "Hair cells die off when exposed to loud n... 
How do you arrange the order of your records?
I used to keep my LPs in strict alphabetical band/performer order as you often found in most shops. Apart from the few classical, which went in at the end. I didn't mind mixing jazz, punk, folk etc all together, but for some reason classical had ...
