| Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard Let's not slide into tape/vinyl debate. As for Pink Floyd, DSOTM and WUWH are not good recordings, to put it mildly, whatever the reasons. If the very best microphones were made decades ago, what have they been doing ever since ? | |
| Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard No need for golden ears, just good enough ears.He is right, I think, but this is not the only failing. Close to everything means far from reality. Can't they make better microphones and other elements in the recording chain ? What keeps them ? | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Chinese can steal better than anyone else, even Russians and Americans, their intelligence is so good. That's how they learned and developed their at times impressive capabilities. Some of them also have a strong work ethics. Yes, they can make go... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... To be able to successfully negotiate, besides knowledge and intellect, you need to acknowledge and understand the other side, another person. Not easy or simple.Determining fair price is often interesting. In the past, couple of times I refused se... | |

| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... On the other hand, the other day I was talking to a Japanese record seller on discogs. The record was advertised as NM, so I just asked him to confirm the condition. He play graded it and said no, it has some noise in couple of places, though it d... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... But the funniest things I saw were on ebay, some Russian and Japanese sellers really look for idiots, they might themselves be idiots as well. I mean both equipment and records. | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... Rare items in high demand is a separate category. | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... Yeah, your beloved used equipment is worth exactly d*ck until someone wants to give you money for it.I did notice that some asking prices for cables look ridiculous, at least to me. Who pays more than 50% retail for used cables ? Especially expens... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . Generally speaking, behind us is a lost generation. The hope is for the next one after them. | |
| Cable budget in a rig I personally wouldn't buy anything before auditioning Ypsilon and Gryphon, but that's me. I also happen to like both designers, watched a number of videos on youtube. Read about them too. If a designer makes no impression on me - I don't even cons... | |
| Cable budget in a rig But you mentioned DarTzeel and Nagra, both Swiss. I have never heard of Aries. | |

| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. You might also consider German T+A . I have no idea of how they sound, but the rumor is - very good. They have a range of models. Don't know if they are all made in Germany, though.I don't want Chinese either. As for South Korean, I didn't mean Sa... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . Unlike Bill I am becoming more 'dogmatic', even thinking about reel to reel deck, in fact already decided, it is just a matter of timing. I'll get half track Otari, Studer is just too expensive for me. But I like tape, I'll put everything I need o... |
