@djones51 I’m not talking about remembering and reminiscing. I mean take a person who’s life is in the 60’s and beam him to the here and now. Forget the shock over the obvious tech. developments...imagine their shock at living in a world where a g...

@celander   What are you talking about?  I was the first one to respond to your thread about threads being deleted after I just had a thread I initiated deleted.  That must mean I'm trying to hijack your thread about that very topic?@onhwy61 @nono...

@cleeds Thanks for responding.  Part of my frustration regarding the deletion of the thread results from the efforts I took in drafting the thread to not make it political.  My audio enthusiast concern regards the cultural changes taking place whe... 
Deleted Threads by Admin??
I started a thread last evening about how cultural changes occurring in Western nations might impact the audiophile world and how we post and perceive the posts of others.  Upon opening my laptop this morning the thread was removed by the moderato... 
RCA 1 Meter Interconnect Analysis Plus Silver Apex vs Cardas Clear vs
I have a friend running large AR tube amps into Martin Logan large electrostats.  He has them wired with an earlier iteration of their silver speaker cables and they sounded absolutely beautiful in his system.  There is a continuousness to the sou... 
Vandersteen 5a vs Genesis 5.3 ?
@nmmusicman   Just curious...do you find the equalized bass from the Quatros "warmer" than that coming from the Genesis?  To put it another way, is the Genesis bass subjectively "faster" than that from the Vandys? 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
After 603 posts about the Omega E-Mat I decided to pull the trigger and order one. I plan to place it, using the magnetic side, to the inside of my 200 amp service located in the basement just outside of my listening room. I’m hoping to hear impro... 
Marantz ND8006...anyone had experience with it?
I haven't had the opportunity to hear or see, except online, this player.  I am currently using a Modwright  SA8005.  When I talked with Dan Wright about the stock machine, he said a main reason he chose it as a unit to modify was the fine constru... 
Sound from my turntable is veiled (like behind a curtain)
There are a bunch of folks here who can probably give you good recommendations.  Beware, however, as I tried a $895 Sutherland KC Vibe (his newest and most modest unit) and the music just dribbled out of the speakers.  I went with him due to his f... 
Sound from my turntable is veiled (like behind a curtain)
Did you set up your table, arm, cartridge by yourself or did you have it done by an expert?I ask this because when I replaced my Dynavector MC with a new updated version and had it set up by a guy with diagnostic equipment who could truly optimize... 
Vandersteen 1 repair.
@dsycks   The new 1ci speakers are remarkable!  I heard them at Audio Connection the day I arrived to pick up my Treo CTs and was totally stunned how clean, clear and musical they sounded. How sound like that is available at just over a grand is a... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
How does @shadorne not have a valid point to make?  @oregonpapa  says he was up to 30 E-Mats in his system at one time!  Hey, I  believe in cable differences, burn-in, footers, acoustical treatment of listening rooms etc.  I have not used either T... 
Golden Ear or Elac?
Interesting what has happened with the apparent perception of Golden Ear. Up till about 6 months ago, Golden Ear speakers were almost universally admired as great sounding, high value transducers.  As time has passed their luster has seemed to tar...

@shadorne   How dare you not adhere to this thread's dogma?  Shame, shame, shame.👿 
Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh)
@bstatmeister   You are so right about being spoiled!  I went from 3A Signatures to Treo CTs.  And no, there is no going back.  For me, the smoothness, the clean, undistorted sound is remarkable for speaker in their price range.🎼
