| Logitech Transporter FYI I completely concur with your observations. I've tried this with my old Modwright Transporter, as well as my current SB Touch and the improvement is immediate and not subtle in both cases. My own knee jerk initial reaction was that everything soun... | |
| small companies making today's best products snipI think, in truth, that you have to consider every company and every product on its own merit and avoid the childish tendency to make categorical rules of acceptability. Amen!Well said, Macrojack. | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? Hey, who you callin' a kid?! I turn 51 on Friday my friend. Over half a century of valuable experiences up for grabs...what a valuable resource...get it while you still can. This is a limited time offer. In a few more years I'll be partially deaf ... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? Don't get me wrong, Farjamed, you asked a good question and it's prompted an interesting discussion. You have nothing to apologize for and I didn't really see you being offensive to anyone. Certainly no offense taken on my end. As far as your dad ... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? So let's assume someone can only hear between 250hz and 2kz. Still gonna tell me it doesnt matter? I mean no offense to you if you are not trolling just trying to elicit a reaction, but I truly do not understand how you do not understand this poin... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? The live music standard is like any other, entirely relative as you've said. What live music sounds like to you may not be what it sounds like to me. It's like the difference of what a given wine might taste like to you and how it might taste to s... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? @jax There is no point. It was a disucssion for the sake of discussion. I don't see what part of "if you can't hear above 14hz then adjusting an eq all the way up or down above this makes no difference to you but droves others crazy" you don't und... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? @Jax2 The point is that people read reviews of equipment, they come on to Audiogon and ask people's opinions of gear.. People/Reviewers respond in such detail about how certain speakers, amps, preamps, cables, etc sound to them. How accurate or us... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? but obviously compromised hearing must degrade the ability to accurately judge a system from a neutral perspective.I'm not sure I get this. What's the point. Who needs to judge a system from a neutral perspective? Do any of us listen from a neutra... | |
| small companies making today's best products Dear Elizabeth, I got from your answer, you don't like dealers. !Hmmm, I didn't get that at all. The only time she mentioned dealers was to thank one for chiming in. Where were you getting that she was criticizing dealers?FWIW, with almost 30 year... | |
| small companies making today's best products I go the opposite direction as Elizabeth. I hardly own anything from larger companies, and have rarely invested in audio gear that comes from any of them throughout all my years in this hobby. Sure, there have been exceptions, but I tend to prefer... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? could some one define audiophile ?I'll give it a go from my own perspective. Someone who is interested in enhancing their enjoyment of reproduced music by optimizing the chain of devices and related variables that have an effect on how that music ... | |
| nice box for tube storage -- where can I find one? You can do a search for vintage tube cases as carried by salesmen and repair technicians. Here's one on eBay with no handle. There's an identical case in mint shape currently here on Agon but doesn't have the same dividers. No interest in either s... | |
| What is your favorite tv theme song/composition? Emily Barker's song, Nostalgia, is used for the Kenneth Branagh series, Wallander. That song, and that entire CD, Despite the Snow, is just stunningly beautiful and not at all typical of what one might otherwise associate with a TV theme song. Oth... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? Not that I hold any more stock in their opinions than I do for any other person with two ears and a heart and soul who happens to love music, but apparently some hold the staff of the audio rags in somewhat elevated esteem. I wonder the age of som... |
