| How rare is an audiophile I'm the only one I know of.... When I was young, I tried to get my parents to buy a nice system but they thought it was a waste of time and money as I feel all my current friends feel the same way. It's OK though. | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? Apparently my limit is just below 20K for my system but in my mind it should be below 10K. I'm apparently weak and rationalize more than I should. | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much Sorry, I did misread the post.... I wouldn't buy anything from this dealer as he was obviously showing you he wasn't anyone you would want to deal with. | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much I do understand where the dealer was coming from.... "I'm not purchasing now but down the road".... Demoing at your place when you aren't going to buy something is not practical. The bottom line is price so if he brings it to you to demo and you f... | |
| what to do with a stereo that needs repair kidding.... just call Carousel Music in Dothan Alabama and make arrangements to mail it to them... They are reasonable and it shouldn't take long. When you talk to them, don't worry they have probably smoked something but I wasn't kidding about th... | |
| what to do with a stereo that needs repair Ah... just mail it to me... I have a tech who is a genius and will touch anything that makes music. | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report I've been to a couple of audio shows... one was great but the second was a disappointment. and 500 miles away... flew down and paid for room to get bummed out. Would love to go to Axpona but I haven't lost anything in Chicago so that is a major hu... | |
| What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard? You folks who think everything is rock or pop.... I was around before rock n roll existed as well as pop although the other classes of music were already there for a long time. We certainly didn't call that music rock or pop for sure. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Forget it! It's impossible so get it out of your mind. | |
| More Bass You want Bass.... Hook up a Mcintosh Ma6450 to your speakers. This amp has 4 times the bass I've ever heard on any other amp. When I use it, I have to turn the bass almost all the way down. You will never have to say I don't have enough bass again... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? One other observation I would like to make is that when you get older your choice of music matures... You also begin to realize that some of the contemporary singers can't sing very well and albums are made that promotes singers who aren't really ... | |
| Female vocalist recommendations You might try reading the thread here "Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried". You might be in for a surprise. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? When the year changed from 1979 to 1980 the music died for some reason or the other (maybe a time warp). Having said that, there are some good female Jazz singers that manage to slip through every now and then. | |

| Upgrade to McIntosh I have owned the Ma275, Ma252, and Ma352.... If I were considering sound and price, I would buy the Ma252 but if I didn't care that much about price then I would buy the Ma352. Don't get me wrong they all sound really good and you can't go wrong w... |
