| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? There was a tine that Japanese speaker makers would put speakers on a stage for many listeners. They speakers that arose were terrible for home use: Nothing but big, boomy bass and squelchy sounds. | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? It seems to me that if you see visible dust after brushing, you shoud invest in covers for you r LP's. By brushing backwards, it seems that any leftover dust would be on the styks side of the pits, instead of the non-attacked side. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Let;s see: Beautiful Ferrari, or horribly ugly speakers. I guess you need to be able to afford both, but surely someone, somewhere makes exceptional sounding, beautiful speakers for someone who has over a quarter of a million dollars to blow, an... | |

| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? There is absolutely no Best Of anything! | |
| McIntosh Does Best Buy's Magnolia actually sell McIntosh that you can order online from the factory?Is it less expensive t order it? (Not that I would ever be interested. Years ago, at the Fort Lauderdale dealer, I was treated like a pariah for owning so... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? This post makes me happy that when I had to send something back to Julius at Audire, he told me how to unplug the right channel transistor laden heat sink, in order to just mail it. Strangely, there was no problem. I had a bad Radio Shack Balanced... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? The music on Yo Yo Ma's DVD/ CD of his international band with a gypsyish dancing lady playing a Middle Eastern accordian type instrument, and with lots of esoteric percussion. The name of the album eludes me. | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? Until I see the survey results, I assume ZERO! There are digital stations in our cars, on television, and who has not owned a CD player, especially in a car? Maybe you mean on our best home system? Maybe juke box owners? Maybe I amazed.... | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? I did not know that Ted Nugent did Cat Scratch Fever. Now, I have another reason to dislike him, besides seeing and hearing that horrible band, as he pranced around trying to look cooly gay with his makeup, heels, girly shirt, and purse, and way ... | |
| The Absurdity of it All jasonbourne52 You can hear a pin drop. Wow! That is proof to you, I presume, that you have perfect hearing. Go get a test. You will be surprised at the middle frequencies you do not hear, much less the ones above about 200 cps that a dropped ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Despite not science still cannot clearly answer the question of what electricity is and what sound is (RE: "science still cannot clearly answer the question of what electricity is and what sound is!), I must point out that you must mean, "Scienc... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? Convincing yourself that a preamp does not help does save you some money.I tried a couple of passive preamps. They were much worse sounding than the same companies' active ones, and suspect that these non-preamp people are missing out on something | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? Oh,I forgot to mention that the band members did this in their listening rooms. | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? My sister, who manages some bands, and owns one she put together, suggested experimenting with comforters on the wall behind me, but since it is 25' away, I did not bother. My stereo listening room is literally 3/4 of my house and has high ceilin... |
