| Snake oil?? Yes, good luck with the recovery.My dad had a stroke about 10 years ago and it partially paralysed his left side.He did recover the use of his arm but it took time.Later they discovered a blocked carotid artery in his neck which was then successfu... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Quite a few that made me stop and think over the years.'Desolation Row' by Dylan. Just drowning in images.'The End' by the Doors. Will he go there? Yes he will.'Sister Ray' by the Velvets. Wtf?'Her Majesty' by the Beatles. Where did that come from... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... @b_mueller ,Thanks for your interesting posts.That's the first time in over 30 years of interest in audio that I've read of someone actually suspending their speakers from the ceiling with strings rather than just suggesting it. | |
| Banned in Audiogon? It's a little puzzling, this criticism of Wilson's.From a distance you see excellent drivers placed in well thought-out composite cabinets.So what can possibly go wrong from there?What does that leave, crossovers?Could it just be a simple matter o... | |
| Banned in Audiogon? @chorus,I’ve not seen any evidence of this.Virtually every brand going seems to have received some flak in the 3/4 years I’ve been here.Maybe not so much for a few like ProAc, Harbeth, and maybe one or two others, but almost everything gets shot d... | |
| New, lower priced Technics SL-100C Turntable The turntable market is getting very competitive.Great news for the consumer.Could this be a new golden age of vinyl? | |
| What’s your obstacles on the way of listening @elliotbnewcombjr,"Incidentally, I was just lying in bed the other day, remembering how I was able to transport myself to another place while riding the subway to and from NYC and Brooklyn everyday. 1970’s, nyc over 8 million, horribly crowded sub... | |
| What’s your obstacles on the way of listening Wife, kids and phone messages all play their part but nothing so much as the sheer lack of time. To make things worse, it takes me ages to get into an album these days. The days when I could give a record several weeks for me to get into it have l... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! @mikem ,I hope there was no lasting damage done. Being so unexpected, it must have been terrifying. I can picture images of microwave arcing like what happens when you accidentally put the wrong dish inside.I've never had anything like that but I ... | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers @avanti1960 ,"I would say speakers of today tend to be more over the line towards detail and speakers of previous eras tended to be under the line and closer to forgiving."Isn't this the dreaded upwards tilting of the high frequencies that many lo... | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? @audioguy85,My sister has the Pro-Ject Classic (cherry finish) and she loves it. She needed something to play her vinyl from her student days and started off with the decent Pro-Ject basic.She did have some hum issues with the original leads but s... | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? @panzrwagn,"at about $600, the Project Debut Carbon Evolution has set a pretty high bar for an entry level turntable."It certainly has, especially with the acrylic platter.My Rega 3 back in the 1980s comparitively cost about the same but it was st... | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers @alexberger,Hi,I think one early sign of compression is when you start to crank up the volume but the sound doesn't get much get louder.@speakermaster,Have a look at the Quad 63s, Tannoy Berkeley's/Arden's, JBL l100s, Spendor BC1s, vintage Celesti... | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? Here’s an interesting video from youtuber VWestlife.Does a better turntable actually sound any better?https://youtu.be/-46mrx9lrh4Personally I’d stop at something like the Technics 1200G if not sooner with the SL1500c.Even the modest Audio Technic... | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers @alexberger,It’s incredible just how hot the voice coils can get. Hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit. After 30 minutes or so it’s more than likely to have some effect particularly with some designs.Thankfully I’ve only ever had to replace one driver b... |
