| Who buy PS AUDIO ? My PS Audio experience is mixed. I have a couple of PS Audio wall sockets that grip my AC cords tightly and, yes, give me better sound. On the downside, my PS Audio power conditioner (I can't remember the model number and it's no longer made, in a... | |
| Give Satanic Majesties A Chance I've always been willing to let musical artists experiment, even when the experiment might occasionally blow up in their faces. I mean, hey, my favorite musical artists include Bartok, Beethoven and Bowie. And, oh yeah, Coltrane. | |
| CD Treatment I dutifully bought a green CD pen when the Paint the Edge Green idea got going. I have many green-edged CDs. Perhaps the green edge makes a slight improvement to the sound, but not enough to really matter. What really improved the fidelity of m... | |
| Give Satanic Majesties A Chance You got me to hunt down my Satanic Majesties' Request. It turned out to be a British Decca pressing with a 2D record jacket. I evidently sold off my bought-the-first-day-it-came-out 3D American pressing decades ago to try and get some coin.The r... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Aladdin Sane, The Ramones Leave Home, Eddie Cochran 20th Anniversary Album. | |
| On listening to new music I'm letting Qobuz be my deejay. | |
| Shelter in Place Qobuz Binge? Yeah, I'm mainlining the Q. And not a little Primephonic... The pleasures of the Twenties. And you don't have to brew your gin in the bathtub. | |
| Anyone here in the San Fernando Valley area of LA? I moved from the San Fernando Valley a couple years ago after spending much of my adult life there. Try Shelley's Audio in Woodland Hills. They're good people. I don't know if Upscale Audio still has an actual showroom, but they really aren't t... | |
| System Goals/Philosophy Sorry to report but I've always been a bit crazed over the quality I want to get from my music collection. My non-audiophile acquaintances are genuinely amused at how much time, energy, wallet and physical space I've devoted to something they've ... | |
| The System Percentages Thread Primephonic offers up playlists of little-known music from well-known composers. Right now I'm listening to obscure Tchaikovsky selections. And oh yeah, I'm also cruising that damn net... | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? I did a lot of sailing in my younger days, thanks to a lot of friends & relatives who had boats. It wasn't my favorite hobby. I spent more than my share of time bent over the rail, feeding the fish. | |
| RIP Art Dudley A truly wonderful writer. Rest in Peace! | |
| A moment when you realized better sound was possible. I went to my best buddy's tiny apartment in Berkeley. It was during our college days. I already had a considerable collection of LPs and I had what I thought was a decent stereo. My dad was an audiophile, too, and we'd gone to several HiFi show... | |
| Your favorite Mahler recordings on vinyl I have two pressings of the Horenstein Mahler 3rd. The Unicorn pressing is flawless but oddly eq'ed and a bit lifeless. The Nonesuch pressing is sometimes noisy and the center hole of one of the discs ain't exactly on center but string tone can ... | |
| Great country recording You got me doing random needle drops. Nothing, sorry to say, was of true audiophile quality. The Will the Circle Be Unbroken LPs were particularly disappointing First pressings. Got 'em the week they came out. Scratchy vocals. Instrumental ... |
