| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? @orgillian197 Well said. Impressions and evaluations will always be subject to present circumstances but it's worth remembering that everything is/was initially of its own time. I feel the same way about punk rock. No one today who wasn't the... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @jjsmith @limomangus I dont believe the statement that buy age 30 your set in your musical choice I do. I’ll go so far as to say by age 22 or so. I think you and I are outliers. I don’t know of or have heard of anyone middle age or older... | |
| Heart vs the Head / Irrational Audio Compulsions? @knotscott I think I’m largely past that, as I’m more of a straight wire with gain kinda guy now, but I still appreciate a cool looking component. What’s really changed is what I think is cool. Me too. No more garish flashing lights/meters... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @tgilb For producer Rick Rubin, The Beatles' recorded achievements are akin to a miracle. He's not the only one who thinks that way today. However back in the mid 60s Lennon said, as he sat at his home in Weybridge, staring (stoned?) into... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @pesky_wabbit If you were around at the time just before the punk explosion you would have heard that mantra a million times That was understandable considering just how much had happened in the previous 2 decades - rock and roll, skiffle, f... | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information Whenever it comes to the thorny issue of money exchange there will always be those that will seek to deny access to information that they feel might not be in their best economic interests. These last 2 years have amply demonstrated this time and... | |
| Would you pay more than 25% of MSRP for a used cartridge? Plenty of good advice here. It's always a bigger gamble buying used but there are a few tips I've gathered along the way. As my brother often said it a good idea to look at the seller of a used car as much as the car itself and the same rule can... | |
| Bob Carver Going Direct. Bob Carver is a legend in audio. Not too many left. | |
| A** Kicking, Rock and Roll! @thecarpathian Yoko v Adele could bring new meaning to the term 'torture tracks'. For sheer kick-ass rock and roll, how about this? or | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! @mulveling Great write up. My 1978 Berkeley's have the 15 inch alnico pepperpot driver but apart from the fact that I remember reading that they crossed over around 1kHz I don't really know that much about them. So it looks as if the tweeter i... | |
| Why terminate speaker wire? Yes, bare wire for me too. High purity oxygen free if possible. No more overly tight connectors please. Tinned is ok too, much tidier. Spades work well in cars, presumably Hi-Fi too. I found it disappointingly inevitable when Harbeth final... | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? @orfeo_monteverdi The price is totally pointless here. I just wished to suggest that there are various specifications, that could explain the contradictory feedbacks. You're not the only one. Unfortunately it seems to be true that alth... | |
| Articles You Feel Should be Shared Yet another useful video from YouTuber M.Zillch. Now why didn't I think of using a multimeter to check earthing continuity between arm, platter and spindle? | |
| Books! @brown12 All 3 are very difficult subjects to write about. To this day I haven’t seen a better book on psychology than Eric Berne’s A Layman’s Guide to Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis. It’s the only one I remember out of the dozens I have read. ... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @mahgister "Mandated mass vaccination for ALL is a destruction of health and freedom" Absolutely. It's good to see that the party shenanigans of our colourful leader Boris have derailed the tyrannical march towards jab mandates in Englan... |
