| Which Nakamichi to choose? "Nothing wrong with the Sony Walkman portable Cassette players as far as I can tell. "They had a weak spot in that connecting film between two parts (the one that cassette goes in and the one that closes it). I guess "interconnect" would be the cl... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? inorganic,You just gave me an idea. Why not record a piano and some singing in that same room that a reproduction system is placed in? I know, recording technology will be very basic, and so on, but it is still closer to being controlled than imag... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I guess, with this thread, we’ve reached the bottom, and we have to stop, and that is what's bothering us. (No lyricist worth anything would be caught alive admitting to have been involved with the creation above so, this time, I take ownership an... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money analogluvr,"How does a cable get outdated🙄, If it conducted well 30 years ago doesn’t it conduct well now?"I was about to ask exactly those two sentences yesterday. I decided to skip them, at least in public.Expensive products should improve whate... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? I rarely, if ever, sit in one spot while music is playing. However, over the years, I got to the conclusion that I should figure out if I like the sound of some system regardless of ideal conditions. In fact, even in another room. If I have to wor... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? dweller,You are absolutely right. I wonder how much do spare ones even cost. Must be a big chunk of the whole machine. I do not see myself using it that much so I was hoping it would last as long as my ears will. So a few decades, give or take. Do... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? craigl59,According to the manual on the Internet, Oppo BDP-83 does play SACDs so you do not have to worry. You are past-proof. | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? craigl59,"...have over 30 boxes of nothing but cables (carefully organized...)"And your power company thought someone was stealing their power lines to sell for scrap metal. How naive of them. | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? craigl59,Your garage seems to be an interesting place. Any wind-up record players there?Bose people probably have no time to respond to you. They are perfecting their headphones and Bluetooth speakers and use all those computers for that. Which re... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? craigl59,"So, this last week, bought some new Sony CD releases made after they moved to the high-res PCM format. They are incredibly accurate for orchestral textures and far superior to any of the SACDs I have gotten."You could not wait to break t... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? craigl59,That Bob Dylan is my whole pre-recorded MiniDisc library. I have a few more that someone else recorded for me, but have not had a MiniDisc player until a few years ago when I did not really need it anymore. I bought a portable Sharp playe... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? elizabeth,I, by putting turntable in a different state (geographically), managed to resist having 37 different vinyl versions of Blood On The Tracks but would have probably collected them over time, had I only had something to play them on. You su... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? I bought SACDs as soon as anything I remotely liked came on them.. Then I bought some of the DVD-Audios. Then I bought a player that played them both. Then I realized that DVD-Audio is very inconvenient when you do not own a TV. I managed to figur... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money dynaquest4,I have also mentioned elsewhere on Audiogon that many may buy cables because of the looks, but my idea has not been noticed. Oh well, maybe some day...I admit that I bought a pair of XLR interconnects just so they look "better" when pla... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I am not saying that conductive liquid does not work, maybe even better than our usual hard metal cables. I have no experience and superficially see the reason for it being reasonable (I have not given it deeper thought). Maybe they are that leap ... |
