| What Makes your System Special? Well, a lot of highs really, but the thing that makes it most special for me is the midrange of my Stax F-81 electrostatics. With the POSSIBLE exception of Roger Sanders’ electrostats I have never heard a more realistic rendering of midrange. Soun... | |
| Notes, keys, and questions. By coincidence, I was writing a post in another thread about the idea that putting as much (or simply more) effort into learning the language of music as is often done learning the technical language of audio would result in morecommon ground in d... | |
| This is very timely... Never had a problem at Lyric; and this is going back to the 80s and 90s. Wouldn’t say that they were warm and fuzzy, but I was always allowed to listen to what I wanted including the mighty IRS, Quad/Jadis and what would be my next speaker purcha... | |
| What does Hi-Fi Even Mean anymore? It’s been said a thousand times and I agree, we all have different goals in our pursuit of a sound that we like and there really is no room for judgment of someone else’s goals. However, I think we kid ourselves sometimes and fall back on a type o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, that is one of my wife’s favorite songs (for reasons a little personal). Great song! The song was written by Hebb for the memory of his brother who died tragically. Hebb was born in Nashville to musician parents. My wife is a big count... | |
| Do you care about car audio? OP, I had always felt the same as you; whatever was stock was good enough and usually not all that bad. Until one year ago when we bought the new 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx edition. Fantastic suv with incredible performance in snow and icy condition... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Btw, since on the subject of sound quality and as a point of interest. Here is what I believe is the version from the original master, not the remastered version above. I believe it to be so because I own both versions and I hear the same issues. ... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? An audiophile is someone for whom the quality of the sound of the music, not the musical content itself, is of the utmost importance. An audiophile prioritizes sound quality. A music lover prioritizes the quality of the musical content. This is no... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados rv, one of my favorite works by Ravel. Sensuous indeed. I will check out the Luxembourg, thanks. Try this one on for size. The sometimes forgotten Victoria de Los Angeles sounds glorious:https://youtu.be/BOntupq6yGMhttps://youtu.be/Sir3Ap5lbAc... | |
