| Kris Kristofferson I just listened to an album of his the FIRST TIME, and I was pleasantly surprised. What a strange coincidence. @grislybutter , he was in a lot of movies as well; he played the part of Billy The Kid in Pecinpah’s ’73 classic, Pat Garrett And Bil... | |
| Kris Kristofferson Wow. Another bummer. He had a great career and it always appeared as if he was enjoying his life, and he did live a relatively long life. | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment Sounds more to me like you put together a poor sounding main audio system like many people do and you are now in lament. OP has never described his "main system," but how bad could it have been, considering that he claims it cost 25 times more ... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @desktopguy , I meant to also say that adding music to the equation could turn it into a world I didn’t want to leave. I remember the first time I really truly ’heard" Legend Of A Mind, I was like, ". . . yeah, maaaaan . . . nowww I get it . . .".... | |
| When I listen to my system....... I didn’t know it then, but I had quite a case of synesthesia: whenever I heard music and closed my eyes, I hallucinated wild colors and architectural/geometric shapes. @desktopguy I can see where this might be a double edged sword. Although o... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment @immatthewj it’s always funny when someone writes and very ’tough" post and then disappears. This forum is therapy for some. (My doctor specifically warned me about the negative effects though) Oh my goodness! What are the negative side effects... | |
| When I listen to my system....... Interesting article in PMA magazine titled: "If You’re An Audiophile, Watch Your Back". I believe many who post here experiences much of what is spoken, including me. A good read. Enjoy! MrD. https://pmamagazine.org/if-youre-an-audiophile-watch... | |
| When I listen to my system....... It's because you had involvement with music. I, having a background playing guitar, also appreciate the nuances of the performance. Even in a studio recording I hear those little details like the strings rattling against the forward fret becaus... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment Where did OP go? He pulled up the anchor (which was a $200k system) and sailed away in his trolling boat. | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment "Oh my goodness!" | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment My Bose Wave Radio sounds great. And I bet it kicks the ass of your $200k system. | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment 25 X the new/fave setup (valued @ around $8K) would be $200,000.00 or more. @dekay , I am the odd man out on this one, because given the choice, without even hearing both systems, I would take the 200+k system as opposed to the 8k system. But... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone Wood is more of a natural musical material IMO.. Like a violin or guitar, it should resonate like wood does for a more natural sound It is possible that is a consideration . . . I am not sure. However, except for speaker cabinets, most other co... | |
| The Museum vs. Galleries Back in the ’90s and early ’00s I listened to this great public radio station (91.3 WYEP) all of the time because they were usually playing music that was out of the mainstream. (When I do turn the dial there these days, it seems as if they have p... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? If any of you guys are still around, help me out here please. I'm a little confused on gain matching. The gain is high, 24db with balanced outputs, on the SLP-05. What is the ideal amplifier gain, or gain range for optimum performance match? @c... |
