| 4th of July Music We get chest-thumping, fatuous patriotism every day on the back of every stupid bumper. I'll be playing these: 'Born in the U.S.A.,' Bruce Springsteen (a young American kid sent against his will to fight in Vietnam, only to return home to a count... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @ghasley +1 Aww, I'm such a meanie to the criminals. To a di-k-thing ni--a criminal gangsta, it's all the same thing after that anyways. Shouldn't you be storming a capitol somewhere complaining about your privilege? | |
| Plugging rear ports of "bookshelf" speakers? @erik_squires +1 Exactly. Speakers + Room = most of the acoustics. Optimize both and you optimist the situation. | |
| Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up? "component" is too vague | |
| The joys of mid-fi Well this isn't a site about cheap stereo equipment, It's a site about Expensive Audio Equipment.....if you don't know that by just reading the forum, For get about it. Amazing to see someone with so many posts say this about the main gist ... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @hilde45 I’m not sure I buy the attention span argument made in the article you referenced. I’m a member of r/kindle and from people’s self descriptions it is clear many younger people buy kindles to sit and focus on reading. Younger people sit a... | |

| The joys of mid-fi Eve should have taken two bites of that apple. Absolutely. Show those men who's boss. | |

| 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.
