| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? When you elect recurring billing I believe you have the option to cancel rebills afterward. The question I always have about audio publications is how much freedom they have to bear bad news when they are dependent on advertising from audio compan... | |
| The character of analog and digital How much does the difference between 50s/early 60s and later discs have to do with the quality of the material, do you suppose? There was a dramatic increase in the number of records pressed in the late 60s and onwards, and that probably led to co... | |
| The character of analog and digital It suddenly occurs to me - suppose analog preference is simply an aversion to the digital sound, and nothing more? Going on and on about how analog is superior this way and that way would merely be a mirror image of your aversion to digital record... | |
| The character of analog and digital Since I can listen to hours of digital music in a day, these people who can't stand more than five minutes of it, supposing they exist, have nothing to do with me. That aside, far be it from me to argue with some else's religion. | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? You don't buy the Jeep Grand Wagoneer for the McIntosh stereo, you elect to pay for the McIntosh stereo option for your Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Supposing that there was one. | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. A growing economy with full employment where inflation is reducing peoples’ real income level is not the same thing as an economic collapse. Restaurant prices are going up like gasoline but people are eating out in droves. What you really ought to... | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience As someone who has used Herbie's gliders on the far less cumbersome B&W 704s solo, I can confirm that this a two-person job. Doing it on your own is a doorway to madness. | |
| Its not vinyl The digital sound and the analog sound are different, period. I believe that more of the music gets into a digital recording, but many people prefer the analog sound despite its limitations. It costs more in terms of equipment to get the peak anal... | |
| Hegel owners - what speakers are you using I use an H190 with Bowers & Wilkins 704 S2s. I'm not a great judge of comparative speakers, but they are compact floor standers. Perhaps if you bought them from someplace where there's a chance of taking them back if you don't like them that w... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer What impressed me when I got a Hegel 190 was how much it improved streaming music (which wasn't a particularly high priority thing for me). I wouldn't call myself highly informed, but a subject for research would be what the amplifier stage does f... | |
| Vinyl goes green! I think vinyl has been green for the last 35 years because 80% of the LPs you buy are recycled. | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito I would think the important thing would be the analog source, and if the digital stage reduced the number of generations it takes to get to the disc it would compensate for the insult to one’s digital virginity. They shouldn’t have lied about it. ... | |
| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. If you've got that kind of money you can spend your way past your mistakes. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? You'd want it to be as high efficiency as possible, but if you like the sound of the low efficiency speaker the best, then you get the gear to drive it. | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me I would think the party to determine whether the unit was defective would be a repair technician. |
