| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening I use my phone for reading. I use it for listening …. to podcasts. Never for music. To each his own. My point is merely that intention begins with me or it doesn't. When I had a turntable, back in the day, sometimes I would lift the needle... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening When I want to listen intentionally on my streamer, I put on an album and then I put my phone down. | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? I use kitchen tongs. Just kidding. I use my teeth. | |
| Willsenton vs Billie MK 1 It seems to have a decent impedance profile (though I have not seen a curve): "The sensitivity as reported by Merlin is 87dB/W/m, and the impedance is 8 Ohms nominal with a 6.5 Ohms minimal rating." https://enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/070... | |
| Mike's Barn. @lalitk Thanks! I learned a lot from your reply. I have three pairs of speakers, two preamps, and (until yesterday) 6 amps (several borrowed), so I totally understand the A/B adventure. | |
| Mike's Barn. I enjoyed seeing it. If anyone can explain why one might intentionally have two turntables, I'm curious. | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... The quality of the recording itself. Then the room, the setup, the speakers, and lastly the front end. Try playing your speakers outside and see if you reevaluate the importance of the room. ;-) | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. @superblueapm my new system has me branching out to so much more music than I had been listening to. And back to stuff, I once loved. Perfect! This is me, too. Paying attention to sound leads one to more music, and vice-versa. Imagine so... | |
| Is this a new trend? Seems like you’re looking for data like this: https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/loudspeaker-market Otherwise, I have no idea why you see the advertisements you see. Maybe others in this forum are market analysts with actual em... | |
| Upgrade to sound quality of Dynaudio Heritage speakers The Benchmark AHB2 would manhandle the dyns. Only question is would you like the combination. Much less expensive ($3500) than a lot of other amps. Hell, you could get two and run them as monos. E.g. I’ve had the AHB2 for the past few weeks, an... | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. What is inherently better about loving music over gear? Is it not like loving cruelty over kindness or loving sociopaths rather than saints? The people who like to chant, "It's about the music" need to put their keyboards away and go listen to m... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I had the same experience with the XTi60's and could not mitigate the brightness. Good ribbon tweeters cost money and quality can vary a lot. The ML's are perhaps a bit too much of a bargain. I found the RAAL tweeters in the Ascend Towers to have... | |
| A life sentence!!! Pass XA-25 | |
| Does anyone experience sound improvement from restarting power off and on of DAC? My DAC sounds better after I flush all the toilets in the house. | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers I did watch the video, and I’m not sure why you chose this one for a virtual high-five to Kevin. Tariffs and price increases have been the hot topic for weeks, months - this is literally the furthest thing from "insider info". I agree it’s not ... |
