| A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts One person's "cancel culture" is another person's "call for accountability." I would certainly agree that privileged dudes with stereo gear should be a bit more resilient, but I've seen some people really cross the boundaries of civility. https... | |
| A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts I'd say about half of my removed posts, or more, were deleted by me bc on reflection I saw I was misunderstanding or reacting to others with too much anger. I'm glad about the ability to remove them, and in favor of something like, "Removed by pos... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer It isn’t a requirement to love Mac, or ANY brand / product. That seems eminently defensible. Very, very safe thing to claim. It would be pretty damn boring if we all had the same gear, same tastes etc.. This, too, is very, very true. Almost... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns @mapman You can’t hit the target until you know where it is. When I was a freshman at college, this clever upperclassman would try to get us new frosh to over-consume beers at parties by saying, "You can't know where the line is unless you g... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I take it that smaller one take-away from this whole exchange is that it's a turn off to see dealers who don't carry a particular brand (McIntosh, Magico, Wilson, are the video's examples) try to boost what they sell by dismissing or denigrating a... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? I’m a boomer but I know market capture and domination when I see it. | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? My two cents: It is pretty clear that the same generation using up the planet's resources, spreading consumerism everywhere, and keeping housing and healthcare unaffordable for younger generations is also quite ok with keeping the airwaves to them... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @jjss49 Your reported exchange with Stereo11’s Mr. Powell shows that his irascibility and petulance -- exhibited in his videos and in his posts on this forum -- can extend to his dealings with customer. To quote Maya Angelou again, "When someone ... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @mikepowellaudio The claims you made in the video were quoted, verbatim. They were outrageous. You got some over-the-line flak, here, but there were others who defended you and others who made specific points about what you said. But rather than... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer We only care about the looks of gear here, Mike, so no need to weigh in. Only fake audiophiles here. But thanks for caring. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @eugene81 with the McIntosh I could easily get lost in the music. Ding ding ding! That's the criteria the video guy hauls out as the ultimate test of an audio system. The fact that McIntosh does that for you -- and I assume many others, here ... | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information Be nice if discussions were threaded. Not a cure-all, but would be helpful. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @femoore12 I’ve actually received criticism by members of this site because I stated the design aesthetics of the equipment I purchase is actually important to me. First off, we’re good. I appreciate your kind words. Next, the (video author’... | |
| Speaker pairings for Sprout 100 for music listening in medium sized room Thanks, all. He's gone with Wharf Lintons. Let's see how this unfolds.... | |
| Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier @analoguefan Thanks. I sold my Atoll. It was nice but not taming some highs I needed tamed. Likely my room/speaker's fault, but I went for a Pass XA25. |
