| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Several reasons I listen to CD's; I have a ton of them. I get very little time to listen so I maximize the time by not "fussing" with LP's. I have an eclectic taste (a kind word!). Most of what I listen to isn't on ANY streaming channels. I'm not ... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters These are the posts thar bring me to this forum! Thank you so much. I'm enjoying this newfound music. Merry Christmas! Joe | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! I dislike any gear that so departs from what you can fit into your equipment rack. I'm considering a Mola Mola DAC. To me it fits the ugly description | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre +1 on the Acoustic Zen Hologram. They don't add or take away anything from the soundstage. I'm also using Acoustic Zen speakers so they make all the more sense. | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Mapman, if there's no statute of limitations on an answer; I got a good listening session on the MBL set up. I was in there while a reviewer occupied the sweet spot. I thought it was the best at the show. It sounded like it would not fatigue at an... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I didn't see anyone with a name tag or label. I was there Saturday and Sunday. Even the name tags of the vendors were difficult to read. It would be nice to meet a few people from here. Let's make something happen next year. Joe | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? OP, You didn't indicate if your friend wanted an opinion or not. If they merely turned it on for background music, case closed. Did your friend give any indication that they wanted your opinion? A few kind remarks could start a good conversation. ... | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? In the folk music realm, drinking songs are endless. I'm at work. I can't spend the time thinking them up. Here is what might be THEE best drinking song ever! Stick To The Craythur by The Green Fields of America Stick To The Craythur (Live) | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 By all means, consider having a good electrician rewire your house for more than one reason. For starters, people who lived in your house before you may have tinkered with fixing and wiring themselves. I've seen Teflon wire used to run a "new" fix... | |
| Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers Be aware that if you buy a Modwright amp used, there is NO warranty! I'm running the Benchmark AHB2. I'm happy with them. Good luck. Joe | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used FYI, I'm one of them! | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Asking other people to pick out a speaker for you is akin to asking us to find a girlfriend for you. Speaker choice is more personal than any other component. You really need to go to an audio show and listen for yourself. | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? Maybe I'll add to your woes here. 50% depreciation someone said? That's if you're lucky. Many or most speakers won't fetch 25% of their retail price. The audio market is as finicky and fickle as any. If a manufacturer goes out of business and your... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier There is a chance that it is a legitimate sale. If the box was destroyed, it could have gone to claims. The damaged or "lost" goods get sold at auction and the new owner can do what they want with it. Don't approach the situation with an accusator... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? This is the difference between an Audiophile and a music lover. Music first for me. Now I can't take most bootlegs shows that used to be at so many record shows. Anyone who refuses to listen to a concert because it's subpar quality is more in love... |
