| Why so many angry audiophiles? I should be disgusted with all the ill-tempered people in this game and on this website but I just can't build up the requisite amount of indignation. Maybe it's because of all the Mozart and Haydn I listen to while I cruise it. | |
| Can AC Outlets really make a difference? Yes. My PS Audio wall outlets do make things sound better. | |
| Strange thing happened ... When that sort of stuff happens to me (and it does happen on occasion), I check all the connections for that channel. I'll rapidly twist the volume control. I'll rapidly twist my integrated's input selector. I'll lift the tubes up and down in th... | |
| Gerry Marsden has passed I still have my original Gerry and the Pacemakers LP. | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? No matter which medium you prefer, fleschler makes an excellent argument for not callously tossing your old recordings away when you buy a replacement. Yeah, clutter does clutter up your life, but who knows what magic might happen when you run th... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? I love Stravinsky.

| Have you re-visited analog, or did you never leave? I've been a fan of recorded music since 78s were still sold at the drugstore and AM was the only commercial broadcast audio media. Thanks to my audiophile, solder-wielding dad, I was also there at the dawns of bona-fide Hi Fidelity and Stereophon... | |
| How do you think about Qobuz store? My system has full MQA capability but after lengthy trials I still ultimately chose Qobuz over Tidal. Though both provide more than enough sound quality for this not-quite-as-fanatical-as-some audio enthusiast, Qobuz is more satisfying to my ears... | |
| Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible. baylinor -- you actually induced me to take a tape measure out and measure the speaker distance from the front wall. Assuming that the 38% figure is from the wall to the speaker's business end and not from the end where the wires attach, I've fou... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? mahgister -- I guess you go for the slo-o-o-o-o-o-o-w. For change of pace, try the final movement of Mozart's Symphony #39. | |

| What does 'cold' mean? What does 'warm' mean? Indeed, the terms don't precisely adhere to scientific criteria, but it all becomes obvious when you find your ears sweatin' or shiverin'. | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Gimme a good tune. Even if it's a weirdo, spiky, backwards one. One that cuts through the clutter. One that gets past the frontal lobes. |
