| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @mahgister, "Guess how the first world war was programmed to be, and especially the Versailles treaty after it was programmed to create central bankers control and the second war inevitable modulo the Hitler puppet controlled by banks who are the... | |

| speaker upgrade It’s looks like the cut and dried option would be the Harbeth minis. However, seeing that the Jade’s are no slouches either it might be advisable to try to hear the Harbeth’s first. That way you could determine whether the P3s would be a suffici... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. Yes, it’s kind of anachronistic that a pair of jazz albums both recorded and released within weeks of each other in 1959 still continue to set the benchmark of audiophile standards some 60 years later. Both Kind of Blue and Time Out are fine exam... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? @tablejockey, "Nothing contemporary or in the last 40/50 or so years is close to the level of PS-at least in how it influenced musicians who listened to it when it was introduced." Is such a thing even possible now? Or have all of the undis... | |
| APPLE PHONES.......NO SERVICE I understand your frustration having only just escaped the Apple autocracy. Even to escape it was a nightmare backing up my photos and transfering data off iCloud. As of December 2021 there is no simple way of transferring WhatsApp chat from iPh... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption I’m not a big one for philosophy or philosophers but I do remember a Nietzsche quote from an Arcam brochure that stuck with me. It made sense back then, and it makes sense now. Without Music, Life Would Be A Mistake. -------- The quot... | |
| More expensive = better? @wesheadley, "No one will take a bet with me that they will be able to price rank a series of cables on a blind A-B test." There is the very difficult, and the impossible. This one falls into the later category. As you said, you could... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. "EMI’s Abbey Road Studio equipped itself with a TG12345 Mk I transistor recording console. The Beatles had recorded all their earlier albums on thermionic valve-based REDD desks. At first, Engineer Geoff Emerick didn’t like the solid-state transis... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? @sns , "Money is often conflated as measure of happiness and worth. Money is how we keep score and value other's purchases, this is perhaps the one objective critique we have available to us." Money is perhaps the easiest to understand yardst... | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? @ebm "Not this week." Or from since around March 2020. | |
| Need suggestions for another pair of headphones (Have Sennheiser HD600) The HD600s are a perennial fan favourite. Never discontinued. Given their longevity, perhaps there is no such thing as an upgrade? I certainly haven't heard of anything in the same price range. The best you might do is to get something differen... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? It’s not the amount that people spend that I have any problem with. Why should I? It’s their money and their choice, and if it brings them happiness, then that can only be good. However, what I do find disagreeable is the commonly propagated no... | |
| More expensive = better? No it won't. Not jaw dropping. Why should it? In fact it might not even sound better than a $100 one. It's far more important to match the amplifier to your speakers in terms of power and drive. A second opinion, preferably a non audiophile one... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? A good transient response, good bandwidth (flat to 40Hz at least), excellent timbral quality, pleasing or at least unobtrusive looks, seamless crossover, freedom from sibilance, and good dynamics. If I'm spending more than £3000, and it certainly... |
