| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO @kenjit You mean you think you heard it. | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @tds3371 I was shocked down to my boots when I read your post: "they deal directly with the buyer's credit card and the seller's bank account (which, as a seller, you were required to give them access to). This allows eBay to essentially enact ... | |
| More Bass @dadork Thanks for that information. I won't be needing the Octobass as there is no musical signal down there. You might try it on the 60s and 70s EMI LPs of recordings at the Kingsway Hall London, where the trains running on the subway below ... | |
| More Bass I think you are muddling the quantity of bass with its quality. Any fool can give you bags of booming bass for beans but quality down there at 20Hz costs real money and you will get huge speakers as well. By the way, there is no musical instrume... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? @simonmoon Glad to hear you have found a way around this. You are clearly more net savvy than I am, so you do better. Right now I am happy where I am and I don't have the time to tweak the population of stuff that's trying to access me. Nor t... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus I wonder why the health and safety lobby didn't outlaw rock concerts that were too loud. Many who did not know suffered hearing damage. | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Early Stones. Because they recorded on Decca in the golden period. Plus most later Stones is crap. But OP appears to posit the original recordings. If you listen to LPs you have to look at MFSL (and some other reissues, very carefully chosen) ... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? @pmiller115 Certainly you are entirely correct when it comes to subjective judgements. My father used to say 'comparisons are odious'. I don't know where he got that from,and it isn't heard much today, but should be. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? One possible anaysis might go: With the net and digital, production and distribution costs of publishing music are almost nil. So millions (and millions) of recordings of new music are now published annually as against certainly no more than 10,... | |
| Cartridge position on headshell . . . I am not clear you do have the overhang set correctly. Why do you say you HAD TO MOVE THE CARTRIDGE FORWARD to allow space for the connections?? In terms of frontward or backward movement in the headshell, there is only one correct position - th... | |
| Low level listening I think it's got to be panels, they have better detail and soundstage than cones at low volume. May be because the moving membranes are lighter than cones, being much thinner and not requiring to be rigid. But why not try headphones for low leve... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? @pmiller115 Horse race is a poor analogy. Whilst there can be differing opinions before the race as no-one knows the winner, after the race there can only be one opinion because there is only one winner and everyone knows which horse (and rider... | |
| Why does it take so long to get stuff? Oh impatient one. Pay even more so the dealer can hold enough stock to supply all orders within 48 hours. | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems I have had Ref 6 for three years now. No way it's forward. I consider it a very neutral amp which is what I want. If you want 'euphonics' or 'lush', don't go AR. They aim for a neutral house sound. You are quite correct; the sound is detailed... | |
| Cumulative Effect of cables question Hmmmmmmm |
