| Another Music Direct Catalog observation simao ... the MD catalog does pay lip service to contemporary artists, but its adherence to a musical paradigm that peaked 45 years ago or so is symptomatic of the undeniable waning of "hi-fi" as a hobby. The hi-fi hobby isn’t undeniably on the w... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? stereo5 Wilson is just as greedy as the next bespoke audio company ...So you think manufacturers of expensive products are "greedy?" The argument could easily be made that the greediest manufacturers are those who make cheap, under-engineered pro... | |

| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? boxer12I'm really okay with someone else spending $27,500 on a paint job.Exactly! Who cares about how other people spend their money? And I wouldn't expect others to care about how I spend mine. | |
| Stylus Profile Discussion mijostynCleeds, yes in many circles you are correct but it does depend on how you look at the angles. At any rate 92 degrees for most profiles is to close to dead vertical 70 to 75 degrees is more like it. Or 15 to 20 degrees if you look at it the... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? atdavid ... you would think at least one vendor would take it upon themselves to do a double blind controlled demonstration (administered by a non-biased 3rd party) to demonstrate the veracity of their claims. No, that's what you apparently... | |
| Stylus Profile Discussion glennewdickI will have to disagree with you about the 20degree rake angle for VTA that’s far too much IMO the cutter was at 3degrees ... You seem to be confusing SRA (which should be about 92 degrees, or so) and VTA (which should be about 20 degre... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? thyname... it looks like nobody can make a claim (read: share his/her own experience) about any audio component, unless he/she can:1 - Show detailed measurements on said components. Including proof / validation of the instruments used in the measu... | |

That something may be diffic... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? atdavidAll that needs to be tested "Is The Claim", and almost without fail, it is an individual making a claim that They hear something, or a vendor (or audiophile) making a claim ..You're still new to the forum, so you can be excused for thi... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? It’s odd how this topic often produces such illogic and convoluted responses.Do you want to test a listener? Conduct a hearing test. Simple.Do you want to test a claim, such as the audibility of a fuse? You’ll need multiple subjects in a controlle... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? atdavid265 posts11-12-2019 11:54amReally now Cleeds .... So you have studied audio/acoustic sciences, and the science of how to apply objective methods to subjective testing? I have. My assertion about proving or disproving a test was 100% bang o... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? prof The average hearing test - a blind test - does this all the time for individuals.Exactly, and I’ve stated that many times. But we’re not talking about hearing tests here. We’re talking about controlled listening tests, which aren’t designed... |
