| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? I start with loud enough to overcome the psychoacoustic masking of my LOUD (easily at the perceived level of background conversation) tinnitus in the left brain. Insert LOL/ tears emoji. After that: music, mood are all in play. Some music Must... | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. I don’t mind posting a specific thread topic but I am well aware one can go so far south the penguins listening wonder what is wrong. Case in point. I have a current thread on advice on how to set up outside for a store anniversary and asked for ... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? @dynacohum LOL There's no such thing as a free lunch, or TANSTAFL from Heinleins masterpiece "The Moon is a harsh mistress". Most people on "hear" have more audio gear but I will claim to be one of the top sufferers of tinnitus. As there no re... | |
| Do you prefer tall speakers @audiokinesis Hi no you are correct but even having a woofer at the top of the array seems to add even further to the tall soundstage. Wave guide tweeter on 2000s 42" up. Until I put the VRs on stands it is probably not a fair comparison. S... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion @randymaqp Hi. I have decades of instrumentation experience. Some 0.5 PPB analyzers I have worked with use a temperature controlled optical bench to ensure a 235.7 angstrom wavelength. Very precise and needs nothing like days to come to stabi... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @chervokas Absolutely fascinating!! Any penny that bright can get thrown on the tracks can't happen often enough. Do you mind sharing your background to have that knowledge? | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Break out Ocaams Razor, stare in the mirror and shave that beard of rationalization off. Aside from politics having little place here IMO the Dow and such always goes up. Always a winning side up top. To quote Warren Buffet "Price is what you p... | |
| LoFi I am one of the few people at work not sporting earbuds. I enjoy my home system far to much to listen any other way most of the time. Thanks to the miracle of streaming I am revisiting music I thought was familiar to me only to find I never knew... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? @evanpress Yes well written, kind of ground breaking. Wickedly funny, lovable characters and of cours Lonnie Anderson. I nominate News Radio and Frazier to a lesser degree fun radio based shows. Ironic I guess considering how one came to render... | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? I'd like to add another dimension to the satisfaction matrix of audiophila (?): circumstances of purchase. Seven years ago I was a regular visitor to the Seattle CL for audio although I lived on the east side of the state. For weeks myself and t... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? Like many here only in my car. 95.9 The Krush Santa Rosa CA and The River 97.7 for Northern CA. I'm much like @nicholsr in that I enjoy the obscure artists and the wonderful DJs who have the common decency to tell who you just heard and probably... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. Her drumming abilities were world class. Some people from her time speculate that moving her off her beloved kit to singing out front contributed to her sad downfall. Naturally shy evidently. There is an interview with Sheila E who is in awe of... | |
| Music/Life @baylinor Your post reminds me of a Letter to the Editor in National Lampoon many years ago. The "writer" was describing some aspect of heaven and signed it "Jim Jimi Janice and those are just the J's" Still sticks with me... | |
