| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? It’s about a really nice system in a room and you should be able to discern the qualities of a really nice system in room. Sure. But if you had the wherewithal to scientifically tune the room I am sure that would make the great sound of a great... | |
| Old Victrola I think it's really cool to occasionally forget the fancy kit, take out an old fox trot or waltz 78, wind that crank and plunk that big needle down. Then take your sweetheart by the hand, pull her close and do slow turns around the living to that... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Another nonsense thread by the Op Probably. | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Not terribly long ago, there was a thread posted in "misc" by @calvinj pertaining to this very subject. The question was basically "can a good system sound good in a bad room?" And I would say that basically it can, but I have no doubt that it wo... | |
| Am I right for this forum? You must learn to take a few of the posters here with a grain of salt. Many of them don’t or never will have the gear that they claim to have. Did you ever notice that they never show their systems? My guess is that they are full of Poop! The r... | |
| Am I right for this forum? The 'Art' is reproducing recorded music. The best it can be done with electronic boxes, today, is very low on the price pole. The Marantz Yamaha thingy. @rok2id , in my experience there is equipment that reproduces music much better than eq... | |
| Am I right for this forum? @chrshanl37 @Immathewj you are of course correct it’s cue not “que” and I knew that, not sure why I did that but whatever. I believe you have mistaken me for someone else. I do not recall ever commenting upon that. | |
| Am I right for this forum? Garbage out of speakers in an acoustically treated room is still garbage. However, in this context, ’garbage’ is a relative term. To the OP’s topic: Using "definition of audiophile" as a search engine seems to yield this definition (or the equiv... | |
| Am I right for this forum? @immatthewj someone commented “cue Stuart Smalley”. The OP wrote that the comment stung a bit. I responded that he should ignore them. Ah. Okay. I take it that the original Stuart Smiley comment had to do with positive affirmations about a ... | |
| Am I right for this forum? Another sad fact: "Garbage in/garbage out." Garbage in an accoustically treated environment is still garbage. | |
| Am I right for this forum? Considering the current state of the art, $3000 is spot on. The state of the art can be found at the Yamaha, Marantz, Denon, Polk, etc.... level. All else is hype and eye candy. How do you define state of the art? | |
| Am I right for this forum? the cost of one’s equipment is not the main criterion. Concern for sound quality is, however one strives to achieve that goal. Unfortunately, sound quality usually improves as the equipment improves, and as the equipment improves it unfortunate... | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? "Do not eat The Brown Acid" was not intended to be snide. | |
| Am I right for this forum? @snilf , I am not sure what the criteria is for being an audiophile. I’ve got some equipment that, all things being relative, I don’t consider cheap. But I don’t think that, if I am an audiophile, it is my equipment that makes me one. If I do meet... | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? . . . don't eat The Brown Acid. . . . |
