| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review @pmiller115,Carlin was certainly an interesting character. Unfortunately we heard very little about him here in the UK (or had anyone remotely equivalent) but there's still plenty of his stuff online.I've also tons of respect for Max Townshend. He... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review To jump before you’re pushed, fall upon your sword, or even self-censor is sometimes a noble act.At other times it could be tantamount to paranoia.In my opinion censorship is dangerously close to dishonesty and often invites a misuse of power.I fi... | |
| Schumann Resonator @sokogear,"Like you, I am not interested in subtle or very subtle improvements, and I have been surprised by how little my turntable improved in sound in an upgrade from the Rega P5 to the P8 while using the same arm from the P8. If I can’t hear a... | |
| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review: "Because the way I see it, what this shows is not just that this one particular thing is really good, but that this one fundamental concept is really good." MCI agree, but let's not forget that it wasn't so long ago that we were being advised to r... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Roy Orbison - In Dreams : the greatest hits (1987)It's not obscure but I don't see this record mentioned anywhere close to enough as to what I feel it should be.In my experience this is one example where digital and analogue virtually coincide.If ... | |
| Question for those with “Golden ears”, and a frustration! (The Loudness Wars) @lowrider57 ,Thanks for the 'inside' information - mystery solved.The fact that they can tweak the sound for broadcast probably renders it impossible for the OP to get a commercial equivalent of his preferred version of The Joshua Tree. The fact t... | |
| Audiophiles & Snake Oil! What a highly pretentious and condescending pile of shill-driven obfuscating drivel by a dude hopelessly lost in the 'circle of confusion' himself!But apart from that, it was great.Certainly something that might offer a little amusement to the man... | |
| Question for those with “Golden ears”, and a frustration! (The Loudness Wars) @jafant ,Yes, it's now accepted that many of the original 80s CD transfers are often still the best available, despite their faults.Even the 87 Beatles George Martin CDs are holding up well, despite all the various reissues.@savroof9849,"Unless so... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. @unsound ,"Room treatment can be tricky. Unless one can determine what and where specific (!) problems are occurring and apply treatments to treat those specific problems at those specific locations, one might make things worse."Yes, to the point... | |
| Question for those with “Golden ears”, and a frustration! (The Loudness Wars) @savroof9849,I just wish that the U2’s Joshua Tree album, I’m not joking, sounded as good, cymbal crashes/drum wise, as the YouTube official video of “The Streets have no name”. Don’t understand that at all. Could a German CD copy of the CD album ... | |
| Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More @desktopguy,Thank you for that informative post.Point number 2 is going to be crucial for those of us who are forced to spend long hours at our desks.Both the Kef 103s and the ATC 12s are a little on the large side for my desk but I'm sure they'd ... | |
| Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over @oldhvymec, I kicked the woofers out. Sounded so cool.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Man oh man did we have different ... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Always Heavenly: The Paris Sisters AnthologyApart from I Love How You Love Me the rest of this very listenable collection was unknown to me.Here’s a great 2016 write-up courtesy of Kris Needs at Record Collector Magazine."Girl group dream-pop has ... | |
| Question for those with “Golden ears”, and a frustration! (The Loudness Wars) Another vote for the 2014 remasters. They're not perfect but I doubt whether there will be a better digital set than them.The Barry Diament remasters were always well regarded but alas he didn't get to have a go at Led Zeppelin lV.The Mothership w... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! @jccampbellii,Yes, the dreaded delay is one of the worst things about back injuries.You can go to bed feeling fine totally unsuspecting the spinal locking up that can happen 24 or even 48 hours later.Sometimes this will be accompanied by chronic p... |
