| Open Reel Curious Hello mattsca. I am an open reel enthusiast. I'm into it mainly because of my age (68) and my manner of collecting music. I buy everything of whatever artist I like. Historically that meant reel to reel. I have several hundred studio quality origi... | |
| The cool factor- who has it? I saw Roy Orbison the last time he was in the Philly area. Carl Perkins opened for him. I talk to Carl after the show. Two VERY cool guys. Joe | |
| The cool factor- who has it? @larsman. I tried to watch it once. I couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll try again. | |
| The cool factor- who has it? I do listen to some music that MAY be defined as cool but mostly not! I like folk music. Martin Mull referred to the 1960's folk boom as the "Great Folk Scare of the 60's"! I even lower the volume when I'm in the car and another car is along side ... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I have to correct myself! I was robbed on another occasion. I had a pair of cheaper speakers for sale. A single YOUNG guy ( I will not mention his nationality or this post will get flagged). He listened for 30 minutes and then talked for an hour o... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I agree with ghdprentice. I'll always know from the phone conversation if the guy is an audio guy or not. The only time I had a problem was a long time ago. I didn't vet the guy. He showed up with his whole family. A HUGE RED FLAG!!! His daughter ... | |
| Vinyl that is impossible to find I pride myself on my collecting skills. I like Mason Williams. I collected everything he ever did BEYOND released vinyl. When he was in the navy, he did an EP with four songs on it. I acquired a copy of it from the publisher who owns the rights to... | |
| How reliable is PS audio equipment? PS Audio is end game gear for me. I love my preamp, DAC and transport. Heck, I'll be lucky if I last another 20 years. | |
| Outlet is "Open Ground" - Is There Still a Safe Way to Connect to My Audio Gear? the best peace of mind you will have is to get a quote to rewire your home. People over the years have possibly "rigged" wiring to work any old way they could. I've seen many houses get worked on over the years. In every case wiring was faulty or ... | |
| Test It's a nasty can of worms we open when we decide that our rigs need to sound like they are supposed to. I've had several recording engineers to my house over the years. They do not care! When I get goose bumps from the sound, I am happy. I'm getti... | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair OP, Are you determined to buy a pair of new speakers? It sounds like it. Your choices would be ten times greater if you decide to buy used. There are great speakers out there that don't get a lot of respect. If Escondido isn't too far, go listen t... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Because soup was mentioned I'll share my favorite: Mulligatawny soup. If you haven't heard of it, there are a lot of variations. I like the one that has sweet potatoes and apples in it. It's to die for! Don't skimp on the directions. The spices MU... | |
| Anyone hear the new PS Audio PMG Signature 512 DAC at AXPONA or otherwise? Sorry I’m on the way home and I didn’t catch the typo | |
| Anyone hear the new PS Audio PMG Signature 512 DAC at AXPONA or otherwise? I was at the show. In fact, me and my buddies were in on the very first listening session. It’s hard to give it a real fair evaluation when you’re sitting in the back row all the way to the left. Many rooms she could hang out and get a seat in the... | |
| Get yer Alice at Axpona Hey guys. Why knock Revox? we all live and die as individuals or businesses by our choices. I am attending Axpona This weekend. Revox should be there. I will inquire as to the Alice Cooper question. I for one I’m glad to see revox alive and hopefu... |
