| The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? Well said hdprentice, You basically explained the formula for value of sound and the pursuit of that. My guess is you are both, but not the Magazine. Someone that knows themself owns themself! Thank you for your indulgence. Nada Brahma ... | |
| The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? Hey Zufan, philostrabation is overthinking it, like Carlsbad said. | |
| The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? In the end Stereo has 2 sides. I like "Bigtwin's" comment. As for Stereo being a gimmick, the gimmick is likely in the mind of the beholder. I can be a sucker for both a good song, and a $75,000. system. Interesting posts. | |
| The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? I doubt anyone here is neither. I think both are present in most, but a few are lost to just one side. I don't claim either is better, nor do I deny having both. Just asking the question to dilute the digital blindness and the emotional excess ... | |
| Types of Audiophiles The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile? While this question may just be Phylostrabation, I think it does raise a question that many are ambigous about. I think an Audiophile is about the sound, the mastering of the recordin... | |
| Vinyl record cleaning I bought a cheap Record Washer MK11 and washed half a dozen records and the fluid was dirty looking. I used new fluid and washed more, same thing. This yellow plastic device is cheap n easy. The fluid is reasonable cost and a jumbo kit includes... | |
| Scratch removal before ripping I just used my Maxell disc cleaner, the one with micro bristles. My Marantz 6006 CD player said, not recognizable, before, but played after using the cleaner disc. This is for the lenz, not the disc. If a disc wont play I am trying my Mcguires ... | |
| How to match a Cartridge with the right phono preamp? I found that an external Phono Pre-Amp that was adjustable and my turntable that had a bypass switch on its internal Pre-Amp allowing me to get an MM cart and stylus set on a 1/2" tonearm head was a great way to go. The Project box Pre-Amp has li... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll In the winter Class A is great. Like one guy said, the total volume, Pun intended, does not add up to much. A flight across the state in a jet, or buying an Amp from "Jyna" is more of a sin. Be "Amurcian" be Class A. Buy a Coda 11.5 Class A . ... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! Turning point album by John Mayall, the song California. And hell yea, IGY, Fagen. | |
| Types and reason to use of not Such a cable did not come with the integrated amp, having that port, I will read the manual to see the advantages of that one cable vs the pair RCA or one coaxial that go to the 2nd. power amp. I am using 2 sets speakers, one set 4 ohm, other 8 oh... | |
| Types of Audiophiles The jewelry types. Each piece is jewelry, be it a cable, or even a cable end. The blue VU meters to the feel of the volume knob. I myself found the high-end volume knobs around 1980 felt sexy. The hi end stereo store of the 80's were like jewe... | |
| Types and reason to use of not dpop, I did not know that, thanks, I will make a reference to that someday as an OMG! Well I will likely start with my RCA, then swap to the Coax, and where I can I will use an XLR. After putting 10 grand + into the 2 new Amps, I guess I am not ... | |
| Types and reason to use of not dpop, thanks, the 110 ohm spec is clear to me now, if I use the XLR port marked AES?EBU, I will make sure the 110 ohm rating is present. like the Coax using the RCA, the AES/EBU uses the XLR end, but the cable between ends is different/better. ... | |
| Types and reason to use of not Great answers, thanks, I will bypass the optical, go for trying my old RCA on my new set up first. I am getting an Anthem STF integrated and a second Anthem STF power Amp. for the second pair of speakers. The STF integrated has a Room Correction ... |
