| What other hobby... @robjerman,Chess and audio and chess used to constantly battle it out for my attention. In the end audio won out for fun value but I still enjoy watching it on YouTube. Especially all that trash talking on Coffee Chess.https://youtu.be/9o6muR3EfhM | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @plga,Yes, excellent post. 4 good points. I think most of us have experienced examples of point 4.But what about Steve's experience with the Magnepans and mine with the Quads? [and is it also the same for ATC? I've often read that they do not suf... | |
| Do Tonearms need servicing @pindac,Impressive stuff. Who would have guessed the connection between audio and dentistry?’Modernisation, then before monies are spent, a understanding of what might be needing to be discussed will be a good Corner Stone to start the inquiries.’... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @russhealy,'Perhaps this is a bit like Frances Fukuyama claiming history ended when the Cold War ended, ensuring liberal democracy a long history devoid of any alternate system of governance.'Yes it does look as if there's a convergence of a scien... | |
| Do Tonearms need servicing A simple enough question but the answer doesn't seem to be.For example there seems to be quite a difference in opinion between running the bearings dry and using something like very light machine oil. Then there's the issue of bearing tolerances.S... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @desktopguy,’One of the first sonic decision points I faced in my early days of audio gear appreciation was rather similar: many in the hobby are proponents of "neutrality," "accuracy," and "detail," while others are more interested in "musical," ... | |
| ls FM radio even listenable any more? @mapman,'I was just listening to it in the car this morning and survived.At home, certain public radio programs are worth it but otherwise streaming has radio’s number these days in most every way when it comes to music.'Agreed. Here in the UK the... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @stringreen,’If you leave the setup to a pro.....by you bring it home, it will need another adjustment’Unfortunately, that was my experience too. In the end I got a setup manual from Linn and decided to do the job myself. Many others did similarly... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @twoleftears,'If as claimed above contemporary music sounds good and it's the fault of our systems if it doesn't, perhaps we should be listening to it on those giant powered professional monitors they have in studios, because evidently it sounded ... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @mahgister,’But you seems to say that the more we improve the system less cd or files you have to listen to because they are too bad sounding...’Not quite.I’m merely saying, as Steve also said in his video, that beyond a certain point, an increase... | |
| Analog Planet's (Fremer) review of the new Beatles Singles reissue Box Set @chrismini,I'm afraid it was even worse than that. Abbey Road only had access to 4 track machines whilst Pepper was being recorded. The Beatles back catalogue is better recorded than most of their rivals at the time, but yeah, there was an awful l... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws roxy54,’cd318,Amusing post. What does it really matter who thinks what when it is relatively simple to just try it yourself and see what YOU think?’I was kind of hoping that the answer would have been obvious by now. ’Before even considering the e... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws @rixthetrick,’That’s got nothing to do with glupson’s screws made of wood idea, right?’I’m guessing that the difficulty of obtaining such screws would limit the likelihood of designers wishing to experiment with wood screws. In practical terms ste... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @dougeyjones,'My response was always the same, to take the focus wheel on the projector and back it off perfect focus just enough to blur the lines between each pixel, but not enough to make the picture look fuzzy overall. Customers were always sa... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? douglas_schroeder,But that's the point isn't it? Either the Magnepans mentioned by Steve or the Quads that I heard are either not even good enough to play back mediocre recordings on - or they might just be too good, too revealing in showing up st... |
