| Are you on or off? What say you? I must have a bit of Magpie in me. I don’t need anything but I’m still attracted to shiny things. +1 @bigtwin . . . I can relate. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford it, so I am off. | |

But most everybod... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I am pretty much off. A few years ago I upgraded my digital front end and my preamp, but that was a long time coming and probably way overdue. Considering age and income restrictions, I have no plans to get back on. (Unless I accidentally win the... | |

| Do people tire of audio forums? I will never tire of all the hate. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I don’t have any experience with tubes so probably will stick with SS. Oops! I missed this when you posted it. I think you ought to just maybe give them a listen before you rule them out. They really are not all that complicated and with the... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system @skyscraper , sorry about that--SET = single ended triode. As opposed to push-pull. I am not very tech minded, but here is a page from Wiki describing the SET circuit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended_triode Here is Cary's l... | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. I don’t know which would be the "most." I sat in the front row center of a general admission 500 capacity club to see Emmy Lou Harris when she was touring Wrecking Ball. That made an impact on me. The first time I saw Lucinda Williams was the sa... | |
| Female vocals After I heard Margo Timmins/Cowboy Junkies covering "Sweet Jane" on Natural Born Killers, I was hooked. | |
| A blowing session???? how much of this stuff is simply a ’blowin’ session from the artists who are playing the brass instruments, particularly the sax?? But the sax is a woodwind? | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system but do know some sound more three dimensional, almost in person live @skyscraper , if I had the financial where with all, this would be my goal also. As it is, I know my limitations, and for that reason have never tried to listen to anything t... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I once took a group of so called audiophiles and gouged their eyes out so that they had no visual reference to rely on, and then I led them around what they thought were a labyrinth of rooms and told them that some of the rooms had acoustic panels... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I'm with you when it comes to avoiding a streamer, as I've experienced enough format changes in my lifetime (vinyl to tape to CD to HDCD to SACD). @mitchagain , I am also a member of that club. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @jacobsdad2000 , I don't know if I would describe it as the "Wild West", but this identical discussion has reared it's ugly head there and I'd bet a lot of money with one of the original participants. I left after I unintentionally offended or i... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Sorry, @hilde45 , that was just airline industry talk and I didn't mean anything by it. That's just what we always called it (like LaGaurdia was "LaGarbage", and so on) and it just got to where it was second nature without even thinking about i... |
