| Overrated/Underrated Of course, e have to include Bose, because we would not want any fans to think we can stand it! TeeHee Seriously, McIntosh. Sorry. I would add Rotel, which I really do not like at all, but since I have never heard anyone say anything good about... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Hey Guys and Gal(s): Maybe some streamers sound better on some systems for a very simple reason: The system is better and can reproduce the differences. An example: With either my Bryston amp or preamp, or just my Audire Diffet 2 with my Audir... | |
| I love sad music The saddest music I ever heard was a video of what seemed to be a very old, drug addled lady, leaning onto a grand piano, who was trying her best to sound as distraught as the best actor in the world could do. The saddest part is that the singer ... | |
| If Steve Got You Last Week... I am dumbfounded when anyone claims that streaming sounds better than the CD's from which the streams are made. | |
| An old phrase which, I believe, may be timely... noromance I don't need to play my stereo outdoors, but I wish I did not feel guilty when I open the big windows behind my speakers to get rid of back wall reflections. I still do it on Saturdays to drown out the pool speakers down the block, bu... | |
| An old phrase which, I believe, may be timely... whatjd I used to watch the time, but after over a decade of retirement, I have trouble not only remembering the day of the week, but what year we are in. | |
| What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully? erik_squiresSince I have actually been a psychologist, let me help.Freudian slip: The doily that Victorian religious nut cases put on piano legs to keep men from being aroused by their erotic curvature. Projection: Claiming you hear some deficie... | |
| Power strips- too many choices My amps have regulated power supplies. Fuses and power strips do not affect the sound. To be fair, I do have a dedicated 30 amp circuit. It used to be a washer outlet, but since it has 10 gauge wire, I changed the breaker. | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound Pull out your old fuses and put them back in. Try it again. Each time a bit of corrosion is removed. Even better, let someone else change your fuses around several times. buy a bunch of different ones. Number them and keep a score card, but d... | |
| Speaker upgrade Do not upgrade without extensive listening to whatever you want to get. You could spend a lot and get worse sound. Enjoy the music. | |
| How old are you? A well educated and supposedly smart 74, but just autistic enough to stay, oops act, young. My ears still work, too. I don't know why. | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? hilde45 I disagree. The point of Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is that the mechanical aspect worked along with the ride to cement the bond between father and son. Without the ride, the maintenance, much less the bike, is worthless, as... | |
| Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes To the person who claims that classical and jazz are not something one necessarily needs to "Shoe Off) an audiophile system. BfS! Nothing demonstrates our systems' superiority as much as the tightness of an acoustic bass, or the accurate reprodu... | |
| Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes To the person who asked, "Doesn't anyone like Creedence (Clearwater Revival)?I will repeat the valid criticism of my prior post: They were just fine, but they certainly did not influence me in any way, which was the title question to this thread. | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? edcyn, You are very nice. Point taken! |
