| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @daveyf @cd318 Quite a difference between Harbeth’s and JBL L100’s!! Presumably your sister was primarily into rock, which might explain the preference for JBL’s. Your presumption is correct. If I remember correctly from what she told me, ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @thyname 1) Lot of noise in the internet. You are right. Coming from "innocent" people with a secret agenda, whether from the manufacturers' side, or themselves profit motif. The key is to get to know the people online or personally that you lea... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus @jl1ny That's a great attitude. Nothing to do with tinnitus but I've had to make similar mental adjustments myself. No one ever tells you. Best of luck with your recovery. Ruptured eardrums are fairly common in boxing and people recover but ... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @thyname I enjoyed reading your latest post. You clearly outlined the way things things are for the prospective customer and I can find nothing to disagree with there. I think we all would agree that, as you said in your first point: 1) The a... | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @daveuk I owned "BBC monitor" style speakers for decades from the likes of Rogers, Spendor, KEF, B&W, et al. They are all wonderful with what my grandmother would have called a "nice tone". Yes, but it's that 'tone' that is so incredibl... | |
| Songs with excellent advice? @goofyfoot I hate 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' because it's a hypocritical, didactic lecture from a group who are collectively worth over $200,000,000.00 and who have always gotten everything they've ever wanted and more. Don't be fooled... | |
| Songs with excellent advice? @curiousjim Anyone know why the YouTube URL’s aren’t automatically imbedded anymore? I was wondering the same thing. It's a pretty handy feature for a audio forum. Anyway, the title of this thread brought back to my mind this remarkable out... | |
| Songs with excellent advice? Looking through my playlist, here are some obvious ones: A Message to You Rudy - Dandy Livingstone Don't Give Up On Us - David Soul Don't Marry Her - Beautiful South Don't Worry Baby - Keith Moon Dream Baby Dream - Bruce Springsteen Gotta... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @carlsbad2 In business they have a similar set of equations that we used to calculate the price point that maximized revenues. Of course we had to have a demand vs price curve. There’s not a single major company on earth that doesn’t underst... | |
| I found audio nirvana.... @jackhifiguy I've had 2 pairs of Logitech PC speakers (both with Dell branding and a sub) and both sounded fabulous. "...and found myself singing along as the music plays! No longer do I criticize how the music sounds on the system. I am not li... | |
| Goodbye Everyone @elliottbnewcombjr Physically it had an advantage over NYC, because NYC had destroyed so much historic architecture, a million boring metal storefronts installed; whereas Philly had retained those elements. What happened in NYC sounds like w... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! @johnk As much as I distrust magazine reviews, and no longer believe anything the reviewers write, I still love audio magazines. A few years ago I got rid of 90% of my collection (mostly tons of Hi-Fi Choice, Hi-Fi News, Hi-Fi World - and a few... | |
| Goodbye Everyone @elliottbnewcombjr Thank you for letting us know your reasons, that's very considerate of you. It is an awful big world out there and we here are mostly just like ships passing in the night. It has been a pleasure reading your contributions he... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! @jea48 To much may not be a good thing. No, it certainly isn't. No one wants to listen in an anechoic chamber. Nowadays a lot of careful thought goes into the building of music auditoriums. As far as I know the science behind such things ... | |
| Vibration isolation or absorption? @audiopoint We also have a right to use AudioGon for advertising or promotional purposes as we pay a monthly fee to their advertising programs. There are a host of dealers, manufacturers, and reviewers doing this on all forum-based businesses. S... |
