| Why no Virtual System pics?? I'll say it again. This website is hilariously glitchy and difficult to navigate. There's apparently nobody in the office to offer gentle tutorials on how to post pictures or just generally keep things on an even keel. Who came up with the term... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? I taped AM stations on my reel-to-reel in the mid 1960's, waiting for that Stones or Beatles or Supremes song to show up on KFWB and KHJ. I'd always wait for the weekly Top 40 Countdown (or was it Top 30?) and press the pause button whenever ther... | |

| I can prove your room is bad The two foot away position unfortunately flattened the three-dimensionality of my Harmonia Mundi Villancicos LP even if it did make the images larger. As for frequency balance, the moves haven't done a bloody thing. In any case, I guess I'm goin... | |
| I can prove your room is bad I just put my Deutsche Grammophon Placido Domingo Carmen on the turntable. Sitting at 2 feet, soundstage is bigger and wider (as it should be). It's like I've just gotten a seat closer to the stage. Amazingly, I still get convincing center fill ... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? I don't miss cassettes one whit. Some sounded pretty good but trouble with a capital T. Unless, of course, you let them bake for six months on the dashboard. | |
| Too good a post to waste I guess there will always be wars between those who prefer to hew to what the numbers say and those who prefer to believe what their ears say. To me, though, you're not buying stereo gear to better perform heart surgery. As worthwhile as an obje... | |
| Best debut album voiceofvinyl -- I saw the New York Dolls live at, I believe, the Santa Monica Civic. One of the worst live acts I've ever seen. All posing. No chops. A modicum of talent. I had good seats, too. I did like the debut album, though... It must ... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? Cassettes were always for the car. Or for when I didn't like an LP enough to buy it but somebody I knew had a copy that I could duplicate. It didn't hurt that that a couple of buddies were in the record business during the heyday of the cassette... | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? How do I post pictures? What button(s) do I push? Sorry to report, but this website is just plain difficult for an analogue guy like me to navigate. | |
| Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? arafiq -- The Brooklyn Bridge is now pretty much my preamp. In addition to the streaming, the CD player and the vinyl now go through it. I did, though, follow a suggestion in the BB's instructions and now bypass the BB's level controls. I now o... | |
| Youngsters these days. I’m not wedded to any particular media. I love streaming to absolute distraction but I also love a heck of a lot of my vinyl and a heck of a lot of my CDs and SACDs. I have neither the reason nor energy to want to transfer any piece of music to an... | |
