| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? @sokogearThat's very nice that you enjoy listening to music and don't obsess about the type of delivery. I don't obsess over having "too many" recordings or how many times I listen to them. I've heard AJA about a dozen times and collect most o... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? @sokogear What's wrong with listening to an entire collection once through every 20 years? I don't of course as only 18,000 LPs are in my adjacent room for current listening and I intend to dispose of many 1,000s over time. My 3,500 ethnic ... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? You misread my post, "if I won't POTENTIALLY listen to three times annually, out it goes". for the purpose of determining to keep or discard the record. I just got 3,500 LPs in the last two years and moved to a new home. I intend to cull the ex... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? These samples of Oistrakh and Sofronitsky predate my extensive Oistrakh and more limited Sofronitsky LPs and CDs of them. Thanks so much for such profound playing. | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? 1. A. I have 15,000 LPs/4,500 CDs/2,000 78s categorized (not on file cards any longer) on my computer. B. I do not own a record store. I have sold 18,000 records in past. I have a rule once I hear a record, if I won't potentially listen to th... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? Well since I'm in both listening camps (records and CDs), I've accumulated another 8,500 LPs in the past 3 years by buying two estate collections and being gifted another (all from deceased collectors). I rarely seek records in stores any longer... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? @millercarbon You nailed it in your first post. I saw a video concerning the deaf man hearing "music" through a balloon. It's what we don't know (scientifically measured) but feel/sense that can make a difference. Which maybe why so many high... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I have one friend who listens exclusively to LPs (he has over 10,000 in a $850,000 audio system). Another who also has that many LPs only listens to CDs for the last 10 years (ease of use for him). Another who has about 4,000 CDs only burns th... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I've heard quite a few excellent quality speakers that employ three drivers with the mid driver covering a wide frequency range and the woofer&tweeter extend with low and high crossover frequencies. They act like a FR with some help. I hav... | |
| The Absurdity of it All Unlike my father, I used ear protection when he was using chain saws, drills, impact hammers, etc. Unlike my wife, I use ear protection at rock concerts. My hearing is good to 16 kHz when tested. Probably better. I'm 65 and have excellent he... | |
| Why not more popular? @mijostyn You and I shared some stats in our lives. When I brought home the Acoustat X's, my wife let me know how ugly they were as she called them coffins. Within a year I moved up to the Acoustat 2+2s which we had for about 5 years, the Marti... | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble Why is it that speakers with 90-98 db efficiency but steep phase angles and impedances in the 3 ohm range for bass can sound superb with well designed 30 watt amps? I also prefer more efficient speakers but have recognized that low efficiency spe... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player I've upgraded to the COS Engineering D1 mk2. I tried the Cambridge CXC-clean detailed sound but lacking in fullness/bass foundation. Terrible remote. So, now there's Project and SimAudio added to the list of better transports along with Jay'... | |
| Denafrips Avatar looks the goods I've upgraded to the COS Engineering D1 mk2. I tried the Cambridge CXC-clean detailed sound but lacking in fullness/bass foundation. Terrible remote. The Avatar is gone as Denafrips has no transports. Jay's Audio unit was upgraded to CD2 mk3... | |
