| Why the cost increase? @tomic601,Good advice. Everyone needs to know how money works.One of my Hi-Fi friends came into some money (£100k) some 20 years ago and with the help of a broker he managed to invest that money across a portfolio of shares and investments.He has ... | |
| Why the cost increase? @devilboy ,I wouldn’t say you have a domination of the landscape when anything pro conservative is censored, demonetized or de-platformed.It’s bad enough in the printed press where the Associated Press seem to set the agenda and tone for most of w... | |

| Sonics? All Things Must Pass -50th Anniversary @stuartk ,"The top end is incredibly dull. There’s no sparkle or air.

| Why the cost increase? My post from earlier today got removed without any word of explanation.Perhaps it true what they say about Americans and irony?Or perhaps they do, and don’t allow satire?Or perhaps we are now living in an Orwellian dystopia.For real.Seriously, why... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Yes, this is something a growing number of music fans are showing increasing concern with.Perhaps if the headphone enthusiasts lend their voice against this deplorable practice then something might eventually happen to rescue us.It's quite tellin... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? I've long felt that the best era for music was actually from around 1957 to 1967.Buddy Holly, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Nat King Cole, Roy Orbison, Phil Spector, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Dylan, Donovan, the Who, the Velvet Underground, the Doors... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Creek Destiny v1.It sounds the same as my previous NAD and Naim amps - just a little more powerful (100wpc into 8ohms) and heavier to lift. It seems to be full of capacitors inside.I initially thought it sounded smoother (and more "organic" - Rob ... | |
| All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow @stuartk "Seems to me what the the "new generation" cares about most is convenience-- they're happy with Mp3's. Dhani's aim to render ATMP "more sonically friendly" for folks who don't care about SQ to begin with doesn't strike me as a recipe for ... | |

People will do what they want. You can't stop them - even if/when you provide the most logical solutions."My e... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? @mahgister,"Headphones and speakers present sounds with different results for sure..."Finally something we can all agree on, I hope.For the past few years I’ve been trying to find a neutral pair of headphones exclusively for monitoring purposes an... |
