| The joys of mid-fi Eve should have taken two bites of that apple. Absolutely. Show those men who's boss. | |
| The joys of mid-fi Mid-fi are the days before the apple was given to Eve and Adam by the serpent. You can't go back before the Fall, @rvpiano , but you can pray for redemption. (And drink a beer.) | |
| Subwoofer placement - back or front of room? Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC57auUfJlTvIvW79pom_i1g | |
| Speaker candidates/suggestions I posted this on another thread, but in case you didn't see it: I have not hear the others. I've owned both the Carrera and the Carbon 7 mk2 SE and I much prefer the Carbon 7, and this is the speaker Fritz is going to continue focusing on. Here ... | |
| 100's of free Absolute Sound and Stereophile mags They are landfill-bound, my friend. Your best hope is to recycle them. | |
| If you had to choose... All well regarded choices, but it's such a personal choice. I'd be sure to at least hear them, preferably in your room before parting with the ATCs. Deep truth. Fritz has a money back guarantee. I believe he found a way to reduce the cost of... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? I considered one and then realized: I have no evidence that my line is dirty. I don't hear a lot of issues but without a more precise technological tool to test my line, there are other ways to spend big $$s. In some situations, the Powerplant m... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @wsrrsw Might I add that if you want to know what other people are thinking, then don’t use yourself or your friends as core samples. Point taken. Be warned: 90% of this site runs on (freely, cavierly, recklessly) with anecdotes with a sample... | |

| If you had to choose... I have not hear the others. That said, I've owned both the Carrera and the Carbon 7 mk2 SE and I much prefer the Carbon 7, and this is the speaker Fritz is going to continue focusing on. Here are a couple reviews: Written and video The Carreras'... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @simao I would agree with you that convenience is more valued than fidelity, but there is nothing really different about the current generation, as @roadcykler pointed out. Yet for today’s young music consumers, even three minutes is too long ... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @ghasley — I agree. The challenge of putting together a great audio system with little money is SO easy today compared to earlier. Especially with used stuff and a little knowledge. I agree with your posit. Here's my posit: there is a level of s... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? People under 50 that can afford the pricier items have demanding jobs and families. I would count myself in that group and have 0 time to go to Audiophile group outing. I am happy if I can listen 2-3 hours a week. The luxury of time + money usual... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? The three best years for modern era high end audio sales in terms of units sold and revenue were 2021, 2022 and 2023. This is a relevant metric, but it could indicate that a fairly rarefied segment of the population with resources is buying the... | |
