| Why the truth is not in them ?? @mahgister, 'Man is an eternal soul in a sea of happiness, but he forget it easily especially when he hurt himself with his bowl of soup...I dont want to be your bowl of soup...'Most of us are in someone's else's bowl of soup. At least some of the... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? mijostyn,The Tekton idea of using multiple tweeters to cover the entire midrange (and up) seems great in theory because of the reduced mass for the equivalent surface area of a conventional midrange unit. Are they a box that sounds like an electro... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @atmasphere , I agree. I wouldn’t think twice before choosing the Technics before the Linn. Any Technics, the G, the GR etc.As @lewm said, ’If I wanted to be sarcastic, I might suggest that it is the last turntable you will ever buy, but it might ... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? @brownsfan ,I used to swap spade connectors for soldered ones but on one occasion the heat from the gun melted/burnt out its voice coil wire. Why oh why can't all companies, at the very least, just use non tarnishing spades and connectors for thei... | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine @mozartfan,’And btw the RS had onlya few good songs, all written by the creative and talented Brian Jones, , then again , drugs didn’t hurt that process.To me drug induced music should be canceled. I never listen to rock any longer.’Agree with you... | |
| Spikes or rubber feet. @n80,Rubber decouples, spikes couple. Accelerometer readings indicate that there is far less vibration/resonance through the baffle if the speaker is decoupled.It’s also possible that a loudspeaker may sound 'better balanced' despite greater baffl... | |
| Inner groove distortion as tonearm moves toward the center of record What is cause?? In all of my experience with vinyl I don’t recall any issues with end of side distortion. Not even during the times of chronic audiophilia, not even with those extra long Bob Dylan LPs that couldn’t fit onto one side of a C90 cassette.Even in the ... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? kennyc,’All we can do is plan and screen the best that we can then sometimes roll the dice. Most/all of us have been fooled /snookered at least sometime, and chances are it may happen again.’ You’re right, but I wish I still your faith in people (... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? @isochronism ,’Some people are not happy unless they can haggle down, no matter how good of an initial bargain.’Yes, but now we’re being advised by consumer groups to haggle down on all kinds of things ranging from vehicle insurance, energy provis... | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick Both the Ohm Walsh’s and the Tekton Moab’s seem to offer extraordinary value for money and both could be considered as alternate, if somewhat maverick choices.They might not be flavour of the month right now but that could all change in the near f... | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? @danvignau,’The current 804’s are un-listenable with the Rotel electronics used for demos. I gave them several auditions to understand what was wrong.’Given the history of Bowers & Wilkins that statement is very difficult to make any sense of.... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? @tomcy6 'Unfortunately, honesty has been going out of style for a while.'Either it is or we're just far better informed now as to what everyone else is doing.I personally believe that the further we move from the shock and trauma of WW2 the furth... | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? MDF replaced chipboard because although it tends to sound worse in the mids it was cheaper and easier to cut. Chipboard replaced Baltic birch plywood because although it sounded worse in the mids it was cheaper.However some speakers (LS3/5s etc) s... | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick I’m familiar with the original JBL L100s but haven’t been able to find a single comparison between them and the new ones. Very strange, as that would be the first thing I’d want to know. The originals are fabulous speakers, open, airy and clean an... | |
| Bob Dylan - new album just out on Tidal - Rough and Rowdy Ways tom8999,If ever an album fitted it’s times - it’s this one. Just like the Sex Pistols ’Nevermind the Bollocks’ and the Beatles ’Sgt Pepper’ ’Rough and Rowdy Ways’ has captured the essence of its times.The whole world is obviously going through som... |
