| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Ha ha! :-) | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Oh, I see...appreciated ghosthouse. Maybe I was just being...uh..gullible.......or maybe no. I'll let ebm have his say... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Crown XTi 2 amps are very interesting...and just downright killer if you have a rather good power conditioning solution and speakers with passive crossovers you’ve been looking to upgrade. These amps have free software you use to access a suite of... | |
| Is it really night and day It all depends on what "night and day" means to most people. But, maybe if you replaced those Bose 301’s you’ve been using in your $100k system with upper end Magico’s....THAT I think would be night and day.;) | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists I suppose I just might deserve that...I do get pretty wound up sometimes, I'll say that. Sorry if I come across that way, I’ll try to refrain | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists I think you can learn how to avoid most of it, especially after you’ve been burned a couple times. But, I don’t think there is any way a legit seller can market, hype, promote or sell a product that a snake oil salesman can’t appear to imitate. | |
| When did good gear start getting your attention? I'd had offhand discussions a time or two leading up to then about what gear might possibly be considered good, but it wasn't until the late 60's that I heard my first bona fide hifi: a friend of my brother had an all Mac system paired with Bose 9... | |
| ARE YOU A " TRUE EXPERT AUDIOPHILE " ( T E A ) ??? Well, OK, I guess for the sake of the OP, my long post can be ignored since I'm just evaluating myself in it I pretty much....but my 10 rules stand. That may be about the best guide/definition of an "audiophile" I can give anyone. Sorry for all th... | |
| ARE YOU A " TRUE EXPERT AUDIOPHILE " ( T E A ) ??? Sorry, had it in my head as "True Audiophile Expert", lol(you know you can't be one when you can't even remember what it's called) | |
| ARE YOU A " TRUE EXPERT AUDIOPHILE " ( T E A ) ??? Please excuse the stoopid-long post, but here goes... When I was a kid I was already vaguely interested in audio due to the family Gerrard stereo we had. But, it wasn’t until 1972 when I was 12 that I picked up my first copy of Stereo Review and s... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system You could try to say the same thing about Punk Rock.There will always be some segment of the population that will wake up in the morning and scream "F#%K YOU!!!" to the rest of the world. They tend to write, play and produce their music accordingl... | |
| Remind me again why... Hasn’t entirely gone unnoticed by me, Nonoise. If I recall rightly, I believe it was Sabai who had posted a while back about his discovery of series wiring virtues and seems like it had been at least echoed by one or two others. I’ve always had it... | |
| Thank you to the Audiogon Team I, too, (despite having half-way been initially prepared for anything worse) have, to the contrary, received nothing but prompt, courteous and very helpful replies from the Agon staff to my questions. Thank you!RegardsJohn | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Thank you Charles.Good OP and many good responses. +1 with Nonoise on audiophiles being able to put together systems at any price level that can and do avoid the issue. Merry Christmas, all! | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Not at all too "out there" of a topic...but, for me, too, it’s just been pretty doggone hard to ever reliably identify any real cause. Although they can certainly be pointed to as exhibiting the effect sometimes, it’s not just limited to speakers ... |
