| 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 ... | |
| Which system would you rather have? akg_ca,Easy there akg, I was not trying to offend anyone at all. Neither personally nor even anyone’s sensibilities if I could help it. But, I suppose I was taking a calculated gamble. My door number 3 quip was actually merely a half-hearted joke ... | |
| Which system would you rather have? No apologies necessary, freediver. I was hoping to spark some reactions I might not have considered before. That's a pretty strong endorsement, I just may have to check that out for myself in the not too distant future. Certainly the amps have bee... | |
| Infinty epsilon loudspeaker phase adjustment on servo control If you can't spot anything wrong, I myself would drop back and punt to Infinity on this one. I'm thinking it seems like it may be some sort of compatibility, setting or connection issue with the servo box and your amps...assuming the SCU does not ... | |
| Your "eureka" digital moment My ’oh $hit’ moment came with my first pioneer CD changer in ’83...didn’t like it, but kept it and my TT and waited; there had to be some way to get better digital sound...everything sucked, really, but the upper mids and highs in particular...yuk... | |
