| Critical listening and altered states I stopped reading a few pages in, so forgive me if I repeat something someone else said. Chances are you've listened to your system in an unaltered state often enough. Furthermore, I'm almost sure most of us bought it that way. If it sounds extra ... | |
| 100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids I'm reading these posts and kind of envying how (relatively) easy it is/was to find a pretty damn good hundred watt amp.I find it's a lot harder to find magic when you're looking for 250 w and more. | |
| Is your now then? I’m not sure if I’ve romanticized the memory of the sound the came out of my Technics SL1800 TT’s into an 85 Watt Marantz 2385 receiver into some big fuzzy brown Cerwin Vegas, but I remember it as visceral and glorious. I’ve yet to hear vinyl soun... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. schubert7,162 posts08-07-2021 2:51pmMissed out what? Music that ensures a man 60 year old has the brain of a teen-ager forever ?That's a nice start. They missed out on seeing ELVIS up close for 12 bucks. The music of our youth is the music that c... | |
| More watts or better power ? Mark, your terrific system is something to envy. My young man systems in high end were a lot bumpier than that.You're feeling something’s missing and from everything you say, the parts are all good. You might not be a believer in cables and wires,... | |
| List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound Divorce. | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Before I knew what I absolutely wanted when I was rebuilding my system about 10 years ago, I ordered a Schiit Bifrost and a subsequent multi-bit upgrade. I liked it and got comfortable with it as components changed, but when I really started to fi... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. I can barely put together a coherent thought when reading anything by Jason Kennedy, editor of the-ear.net. It is as if he does not understand the limitation of use of a comma. Do the English really have that much of a different implementation o... | |
| BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member PS, PayPal does this to buyers as well. Had a Krell preamp, purchased here on A'gon, just not arrive at my doorstep while I was in the house. Despite the fact that the seller insured it and sent it 'signature only', UPS said they left it on the do... | |
| BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member I think that everything that needs to be said has been said about this.I just would like to add that I would think nothing of opening a small claim in your local jurisdiction against PayPal. First off, just for the ballbreaking of it all. Even if ... | |
| I heard the Box mapman19,18It could be the floor more than the box you hear if floor is suspended plywood in which case use isolation pads or similar. Oh no. I don't think I can take hearing *the floor* after 'hearing the box'. | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo Two that come to mind immediately, Keith lighting up 'Bitch' and his better than Chuck work on Ya Ya's 'Carol'. | |

| Don't like vinyl We're no longer in 1982. Digital music is actually quite good now and while folks enjoy playing with vinyl for its tangible, possibly nostalgic charms, I'm ok with the tangible charms nicely recorded music gives on today's digital recording. And, ... | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? I hate people. My wife is OK...I guess. |
