| Hey RICH Audiophiles If time did not exist man would have to create it. | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! dave_b2,224 posts01-26-2019 5:43pmNever thought I’d do this, but...hey GKait! Gotta riddle for ya. I changed out the jumpers on my speakers, MIT tails (12”) for NRG Omega’s (already owned) and not only did the resolution increase dramatically, b... | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. lewm6,686 posts01-27-2019 10:44amBut Geoff, we know that there IS something wrong with CDs, as well as with the playback machines that go with them. Haven’t the issues with RBCD been hashed over ad infinitum? (If that’s what you refer to when you ... | |
| Only you expensive cable owners, is this real? Lizzie, as the reigning theoretical physicist here I think I can safely say what you call fringe is just plain ordinary physics albeit physics that wasn’t in your McGuffey Reader. Besides, I thought you were on board Enid Lumley’s stuff. What’s th... | |

| If you want to get the best of your transport, try this. Roller bearings are excellent. Roller bearings in combination with springs is out of this world. What roller bearings lack, springs provide in spades - vertical isolation. | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. Digitally remastered cassettes are an interesting medium. While not the last word in air and warmth they are a lot more analog-sounding than most CDs. Which i submit is evidence there’s something wrong with the CD playback machine, not with the CD... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles Hey, Wolf, glad to hear you finally got rid of your low end speakers and got some solid mid fi speakers. I bet you think you died and went to heaven. | |
| Only you expensive cable owners, is this real? Hilarious that some people consider outstanding high end companies like Mapleshade and PWB Electronics fringe. Give me a break! A rich audiophile has about as much chance of getting into Audio Nirvana as a camel has of passing through the eye of a... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Your ears are not analog or digital. But your brain is quantum mechanical. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Yes, you’re confused. Digital is a near perfect facsimile of the original waveform. It is not chopping up the sound, as you say. The problem with digital is not (rpt not) the recording or mastering for CDs. The real problem is the *playback machin... | |
