| Cassette tape "Does anyone have a functioning cassette deck in their car?"It seems that many do, which I find surprising. I have it, too, but remember to play a cassette once every couple of couples of years. It did work this morning. Thank you for reminding me... | |
| Ended my Qobuz subscription What does Qobuz mean? | |
| Ended my Qobuz subscription "Show off...."I asked.This is the only time I could actually brag. For all audio topics I am trailing way behind most. | |
| Ended my Qobuz subscription I knew "lacuna".Thanks thecarpathian! | |

| My Triad of Integrateds If they were easier to actually see and hear in the real world and not only on the Internet, Accuphase could qualify. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? flapjack,As geoffkait likes to point out, serious companies take care of directionality from the beginning so maybe all those circuits are done in whatever direction was preferred.My only issue with all of that, Walkman conductor directionality, i... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? "Actually, unless I miss my guess, which is highly unlikely, there are no wires inside a Sony Walkman."There are. Depending on the model and your acceptance of the word "wire", easily all of them have it.Just a quick look at some of the models...h... | |
| I am the most lucky guy I am listening to " Are you lonesome tonight" by Elvis.His voice tone is just spot on. Sometimes I wonder how he really sounded.How close is what I hear to what it really was? I like it, but I have no idea if it is real. He died way before I could... | |

| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? "The Von Schweikert Audio MasterBuilt Ultra speaker internal wiring upgrade, prices $15,000 to $37,500."Are they controlled for directionality? Not a word about it. Otherwise, certainly in the running for the most overpriced tweak on the market. | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? geoffkait,"Glubson, sadly perhaps, is difficult to take seriously."Do not present your lack of capability to understand as my flaw."Rock music is all distortion to begin with? Cut me some slack, Jack! Earth to Glubson!"Instead of some slack, how a... | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? jhills, prof,I, like you, find live music engaging more often than not. In my post, I was, obviously in a very clumsy way, pointing towards my observations of mostly classical music concerts. At times, out of curiosity, I close my eyes and listen ... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Is the power cable same as power conditioner? It almost seems they would be interchangeable, if the power cord changes whatever comes in so drastically. |
