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...

@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...

@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...

@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... 
Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby
Instead of a Marantz Ruby, how about the Luxman D03X at $3500 or the ultimate Luxman D10X at $16,000 (discounted some places).    
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
@jaymark and @charles1dad   I am between the Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 and the Project.   However, did anyone compare the NEW 2019 Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 rather than the prior model Mk2?   Steve Guttenberg reviewed them both and found significant improveme...
