| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? Play stuff like this @100db at your next show and wake everybody up. When they're awake, they may buy more things (you may sell more). Play it safe however, if you have flaccid speakers and amps. If the stuff you're selling is a bit wimpy, play ... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong seems yogiboy we need a debate on the meaning of a comma in a sentence... Debating challenged individuals would be a waste of time... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? @mahgister Like a couple of others, I enjoy your comments and I agree with most of your points about authoritarianism, and fascist and communist political movements. However, I think you misunderstand Karl Marx thoroughly. Your description of com... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong @deep_333 Sterile? In relationship to most tube amps that would be better described as accurate. I suspect you would not like Boulder amps either. @mijostyn Sterile in comparison to my current SOLID STATE amps. Luxman c900u+m900u Yamaha c50... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby We figured in a previous thread that there less than a million audiophiles in the US and of that group only a small number care enough to post about it on internet sites. This estimate is probably off and the number is a lot higher, imo. The yo... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong Benchmark equipment is not sterile, it is neutral, very nicely made and fairly priced. After that you can take it anywhere. Want an analog glow? Add a turntable with a tube phono stage. The difference with good electronics pales in comparison to ... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Guy without kids or pets is more likely to rank a lil higher w.r.t the ahole personality, i.e., guy who takes care of dependent creatures is more likely to be a nicer guy in life. If he smokes his cigars on his patio/deck/etc outside the house, i... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby I was listening yesterday to one of the first all-digital rock albums Peter Gabriel's Security. I had the original CD in a vintage 16-bit player and was amazed by the vividness of the sound quality! I felt what I was hearing was the master such ... | |
| Krell KAV-500 vs S-1500 5 Channel & cables The KAV seems to have plenty of power but some dialog can sound "hollow" and slightly tipped up. Also, there is some occasional HF distortion during musical passages on shows (not using it for 2 channel listening). This reeks a bit of a degrade... | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas I find my system completely satisfying at 70 - 80 or below. Additionally safety standards are guidance and I would prefer to be no where near the limits, they easily could be too high as well as low. I would not want to put my hearing in jeopardy... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @deep_333 illustrates the deep, deep chasm between DIY builders and kit makers, modders vs. the high end industry writ large. "How can a speaker maker offer such poor performance for so much money" they ask, and sometimes I have trouble defend... | |
| Upgrade from DeVore Gibbon X Get a pair of Borresen X6 and observe what the gibbon has denied you all these years...or even try the cheaper Borresen X3 (cheaper than your Gibbon) and it will make you wonder how/why on earth you paid 12k for the gibby. | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... Perhaps musicians listen about as well as we would performing. ?! I wonder if you are thinking about some 19 yr old punk rocker screaming at a bar into a 300 dollar plastic PA kit. I am not a professional musician (not my livelihood), but, I’... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Bro, her new album sucks...it's full of filler crap. The critics aren't wrong here... The poetic lass has run out of talent, it appears!! 😁 | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Hmmm, let me take a guess.... He a) bought the drivers from someone else b) threw it in a box in an exotic garage and c) wants to charge 20k for something that measures like this...meh No thanks...I’d probably send this speaker back to its daddy.... |
