| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! I have had to wear hearing aids for over 15 years. I just bought my 3rd pair this year. The technology had really improved from my first set. I currently have a set by Starkey that are rechargeable, bluetooth, adjustable on my iPhone and I use the... | |
| Audiophile demographics? My wife is not an audiophile but she enjoys most music except rap. She is not into the technical aspects of the hobby. I just got back into it in the last year after a 25 year hiatus. I recently bought a turntable and started purchasing some of th... | |
| The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading Seeing who started this posting, I did not waste any time reading through it.

| Hearing loss and HiFi I am 71 and I have worn hearing aids for over 15 years and am on my third pair which are so much better than my first. I still have issues with understanding what others say unless I am looking directly at them. Hearing aids cannot fix everything.... | |

| 100W, 200W, or 300W? When I made the decision to go for more power, I sold my MA5300 and went with the MC462 with the C2600 tube preamp. I also love the blue meters. I know there are a lot of Mac haters on this forum and I almost hate to post what my system is for tha... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? No TT or R2R but I do have a 911. The wife agreed that I could have it when I turned 70 a couple of years ago. She figures at that age at least I would not kill myself. For the record I have worn a Rolex for over 40 years. Nothing fancy, just a st... | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? I have had progressively worse tinnitus for 30 years as well as worsening hearing loss. I am 71 now and have worn hearing aids for about 20 years. I now have some pretty good aids but never do what they advertise they can. Music listening certainl... | |

| have you ever bought stereo without listening first I live an hour and a half from any place where I could listen to any systems so I basically bought everything unheard.
