| Spam threads gone wild... It's simple. Any new member's first post should be moderated, and the member deleted if that post is spam. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I made another 2M Schroeder balanced IC, this time using Oyaide Focus 1 XLRs(instead of Bocchino) with a double run of Connex/DH Labs BL-Ag, between AtmaSphere MP-1 preamp output and Merlin BBAM line-level equalizer into modified VSM-MX speakers. ... | |
| Lyle Lovett & John Hiatt, on tour Saw their acoustic duo last year at McCarter Theater in Princeton. Great though well-rehearsed repartee and contrast/synergy between Haitt's Memphis/Nashville and Lovett's Texas roots. But Hiatt is the grandmaster... see him while he's still here. | |
| Quality of music after 1st MQA unfold In my system Roon does the first MQA unfold of Tidal into a Roon-compatible SOtM EN/USB renderer, into the USB input of a non-MQA Esoteric K-01X CDP/DAC. The first MQA unfold to 24/96 or 24/88.2 is a meaningful improvement over 16/44.1 streaming-... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! I accord with grannyring. I've made ICs with these and can confirm that they sound great and hold up after many reinsertions. For a solderless connection, the more expensive Bocchino RCAs are preferable, but with KLE it is still possible to make... | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... @mofimadness I'll take John Lennon with his fur jacket "That was actually Yoko's fur coat."Yes, but it was his coat for future value at auction, and certainly his sideburns, if not the walrus. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... Never seen a single spam on Audio Asylum. Who's crazy now? | |
| Spam threads gone wild... @whart As those "learning" bots evolve the proper Venn diagram for the audio hobby, perhaps we'll begin to see Viagra spam... Though voodoo is certainly common as well around here. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... As of 9:30am ET, 96 of 98 Agon posts on new topics within the past 12 hours are spam! | |
| Spam threads gone wild... It's cheesy that Agon moderators routinely delete controversial posts by audiophiles, but fail to filter spam detritus at ingress. This has mostly ruined the site during nighttime hours. | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... I'll take John Lennon with his fur jacket and Epiphone guitar on that rooftop as the iconic image of R&R in any era. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I just finished building a pair of Doug S. double balanced ICs using Connex/DH-Labs BL-Ag solid silver bulk cable, and compared that to a single run of the same cable. It's not a fair comparison, as I also replaced standard Neutrik connectors wit... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? The tip of the long cue bar is only point of potentially destructive contact with a carelessly handled LP. I added a small rubber nipple to the tip to address that. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Sh*te, I need a proof-reader or new eyeglasses. It’s its when it's not it’s. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @ct0517 Its DIY heritage begins with the original design by Poul Ladegaard. IIRC, he envisioned this as a linear tonearm that could be built at a kitchen table using basic tools and standard parts from a hardware store. Vic at Trans-Fi turned tha... |
