| Is it the gear or the ears? I felt moved to share it in this forum, mostly for what I hope brings a little humor to this often overly way too serious “boys club” The Audiophile. No worries, brother. As you have witnessed, some folks take themselves (let alone this hobby... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? It's harder to get the image and tonality of a singer correct to the ear than make a lasagna taste decent. Who's ear....? Thus my earlier point. | |
| MissingCDs and records For me it’s nostalgic, it’s a ritual that takes me back to a simpler life. "Nostalgia" was the first word that came to my mind after reading the OP. +1 | |

| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? "Blues in F" by Spencer Davis Group. Only recording I'm aware of is the B side of the original 45 of "Gimme Some Lovin". | |
| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio Rythmik F12G owner here. I don't own electrostatics, but have Magnepan MMGs. The F12G is very fast and musical sub that has a very good array of controls to match your listening preferences, whatever they may be. Can't go wrong with a Rythmik, ... | |
