| Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)? @rodman99999 No worries -- Best Thread Hijack Ever! I didn't have anything to add just thought that the materials science aspect of rotons (assuming they're a real thing and we figure out what to make with them) might spark some thoughts. Glad to ... | |
| Tube vendors. @invalid The only reason not to call Andy at vintage tube services would be if you can't wait 2-3 weeks for your tubes.I can wait 2-3 weeks for someone who is so far beyond all the others mentioned on this thread. For someone with far better equip... | |
| Tube vendors. @eichlerera Thanks for the detailed explanation about why he’s so good! Perhaps the fans here for Jim, Brent, Upscale, Viva, and the other tube sellers might want to see that their guy/biz is worth passing over for Andy. Because if he is as far be... | |
| Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)? @rodman99999 I really enjoyed your post. Thanks for putting the time into it. Without basic scientific research -- hypothesis, theory, testing, invention, etc. -- we’d lack so much that makes live both livable and survivable. Of course, technology... | |
| Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc. @snatex I made exactly this decision recently and went with F12SE Rythmiks for the reasons you mentioned -- ability to dial them in to a pretty tricky room. I got a pair. Trying them out. Have an older REL which I love, too, but didn’t want to buy... | |
| Tube vendors. @invalid Thanks for the clarification. So this person has better testing and equipment than Brent Jessee, Jim McShane and the others mentioned? I've never asked such questions of my vendors to even find out what they did or had -- glad to know the... | |
| Tube vendors. @eichlerera Vintage Tube Services:The Best!By quite a large margin....In what ways are they better than others by "quite a large margin"? And better than whom, specifically? Please give details, as this might be a reason for me to switch suppliers. | |

| Apple Music @fuzztone Understood. My son wants us to switch from Amazon HD to Apple on the argument that Apple is now lossless, so this is a practical question for us, now. | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks @millercarbon No, I do understand the difference. But if it helps you to think I don't, please -- help yourself. After all, it's the year of the cat, right? ;-) | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks The notion that there are no "test tracks" in audio is ludicrous.Ever test drive a car? Of course. Why? Various reasons.To test limits.To test special circumstances.To test normal driving conditions.Etc.Test tracks can be ear candy and test limits... | |
| Can an unused cable break in? @jasonbourneThe capacity of Humans for self-deception is apparently unlimited - Mr.Spock the VulcanImagination is a wonderful thing!Quoting a fictional character from Star Trek is, er, an imaginative move. And are you really "Jason Bourne" the act... | |

| Apple Music Everyone on this forum can try this for themselves. Many have, and many have heard a difference.The fact that some cannot tell the difference between fine wine and modest wine isn't a slight against good wine. | |
| Excellent Speakers for Classical Music - $2,000 USD Budget Not sure what the worst that can happen is. $2200 speakers, offer 1800 and ask for shipping, they reply with $2000 with shipping and you try them for 6 months. Sell for roughly same price and maybe take a hit of $400 or so? Just back of the envelo... |
