Sanity test before you start this hobby
Oleschool, I meant my current system and particular cable brand. I keep an open mind to this. Silver/Gold/Palladium alloy by Echole is said to sound great. Very unusual alloy indeed.Yeah, we are a little bit crazy but not insane.I was thinking the... 
What do audiophiles want from a cable?
Speaking of kind of amusement, serious guys in another thread are discussing cartridge alignment. After so many years of turntables there is still something to debate on the subject, it would seem.Just give me Studer deck and some reels.

In my case, mostly silver alloy wire for speakers but copper for interconnects.

For madmen we sound surprisingly normal. 
What do audiophiles want from a cable?
barking54, even your name is a noise.By the way, Purist Ferox cables cannot be filled with fluid, unlike the other way around.Waxwaves, Dominus, at least a new one, is absolutely out of my reach, as are many things. Gryphon Callisto 2200 integrate... 
Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ?
Fascinating reading. Anyone tried to do the alignment by ear? That's what counts, doesn't it, the way it sounds ?No wonder I like tape, not much vinyl.

Why has amplifier power become a big issue
I think, most buyers of today's high-end are not audiophiles and as such have different priorities. Having said that, other things being equal I prefer more powerful higher current amps, especially transistor amps. At the same volume with the same... 
Sutherland Insight vs Sutherland 20/20 for VPI Scout 1.1
I would guess that the Insight would be adequate. The 20/20 has more gain though and uses two wall-wart outboard power supplies, which I personally strongly dislike.I have Sutherland designed Acoustech phono and it is an excellent one. But I use M... 
Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K
Mmporsche, Brinkmann will cost more than you are planning to spend. I also suspect that it is in a totally different league. If you are ready for that you are ready to audition it.Though I didn’t hear the Parasound phono stage, I never heard of an... 
Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K
Well, you got $40k speakers and $20k amp. I don't understand why you bought $3k Parasound phono. That all metal table looks like a prototype of a new armored vehicle, Schroeder arm is nice simple and elegant, such a contrast. 
Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K
I think, any turntable in this price range will sound excellent. You just have to figure out what exactly you are looking for and what cartridge you are going to use. I understand, you plan to buy new table/arm/cartridge. Your reference to compare... 
Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature
And professor, thank you for the list of writers, I am only familiar with Borges and Murakami.I’ve got some reading to do, I guess, it’s not all music. 
Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature
I am saying that they don't respect it. 
Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature
This award will not please anyone who understands literature. Mapman, why is it so difficult for you to accept that? Dylan is not among the best at anything, and that's exactly why so many like him. He is a lot like those "so many".
