| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes My 1948 Raytheon 6SN7 tubes are about the same price now at Linai per AiiExpress. I chose them over Ken-Rad (very close) and RCA from the 40's to 50's era of 6SN7 as they had the best package of dynamics, warmth, extension, etc. I'm using them... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? I'm 66 and loved the 50s doo wop, opera, rock and roll and classical music when I was a child. PRAT must have had a lot to do with my desire to hear music as the quality of the sound was mediocre from my tube record players. It wasn't until I wa... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @jssmith I like to watch Rick Beato videos. I've learned much about modern music from him and about guitars. I suppose I am not a Sigma. However, I never want to retire. I run a full business (which is now mostly from home, real estate rent... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @dabel Without PRAT, there is no music. Could be a tone or a note, but with PRAT, one has music. | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @jssmith I doubt I’m a Sigma with my low creativity and average I.Q. However, I’m self-taught on computer since the mid-80s DOS, have a JD as well as having taken science courses at UCLA along with my history and political science BAs. Became a to... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? Yes, I've sold 18,000 records in the past 35 years. I have a rule for myself, if I don't potentially want to listen to a recording 3 times a year, out it goes (except for ethnic music which I have 3,500 records/78s/cds). I have about 5,000 LPs ... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @beasmooth1 Yes, patience is required to listen to music. The most important factor in music is rhythm, the timing of music (even one note repeated in time can be considered music). Streaming and earpod listening to music on phones does not conv... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @hilde45 Why don't you just delete your first posting. It is lacking in context and appears to be an equity play for young people versus boomers. Equal opportunity is available to young people. They spearhead technological innovations today,... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @ ishkabibil The manufacturer stated that the best position (probably for bass) is 3 feet from the wall, not 7 or 10 feet. Plus, did the demo pair have 1000s of hours on it and yours is new? Woofers can take 500 hours to break-in. I have a h... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @holmz Great site, thanks. Ain't the truth---“The sole objective of the audio industry as a whole is to sell products.” | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? @pinthrift That site is at https://www.earglasses.com Yes, Ear shape does change the sound, here for capturing more sound. Interesting. When I push my curved ears back, sound appears brighter and more detailed. | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @melm As an amateur recording engineer for an orchestra, chamber group and multiple choirs as well as a chorister for 50+ years, I too prefer hearing live music in a good/great venue and can use that as a reference. Unfortunately, as with bad rec... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @melm It was the author of another forum Apparently, I thought it was a site review but is the author biased? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-holo-may-l2-dac-and-the-musetec-audio-lks-audio-mh-da005-da | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @sns I agree. I have 28.500 LPs, 7,000 78s and 7,000 CDs. I love both LP and CD formats with the latter being the most convenient/easy to use. I'm knocking the other guy (or anyone) who dismisses vinyl, good vinyl (good mastering and pressin... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @lordmelton Great vinyl should sound like a great recording, studio or hall with close miking. It won't sound like a highly reverberant hall that is so in vogue for the last 40 years. Live acoustic music sounds great in a large venue but n... |
