| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee Erik_squires - don’t many good power amps also have regulated power supplies? Why does the AC power they see affect them at times a great deal? | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Some of these reviewers are long term experts who I think could probably discern audio differences even in crappy rooms & maybe it’s better they don’t have “ perfect” highly conditioned listening spaces because most of us don’t either? Many o... | |
| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee The “ kawfeew tawk” is so funny! I have wondered for a while that similar to a good sound system, would better AC power delivery ( plugs, cords, conditioning etc) improve the picture quality of a good TV like my LG OLED? I would think it would ... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus I’ve been to many great & loud concerts since 1972 but I saw & sort of heard the New Riders of the Purple Sage w/ Jerry Garcia joining in at the Academy of Music in NYC in 1975. We weren’t even sitting close & in the mezzanine pretty f... | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Gordon is truly a master singer / songwriter & that is one of my all time favorites. He had many great songs that tell a story. Another o e is “Circle of Steel” on Sundown. Harry Chaplin had two great ones also: Taxi & Cats in the Cradle... | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? My Dad was an EE w/ multiple patents (like my grandfather) & into hi fi from the 50"s onward. He was pretty smart & knew a lot about audio as well as electronics in general. He had a few different Dynaco power amps he built & heavily ... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Some very interesting perspectives here. For myself, while I do wish I could listen to more "new" or at least unfamiliar music, it's really a matter of time. I'm older but still work full time in my own business & enjoy listening & relaxi... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" As often was the case, davedead, Jerry could cut through many topics & give a clear analysis in a very simple form. He was a highly talented musician who could play different styles of music at a high level & I respect his opinion on music... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Great & fun analogy! The major difference is that w/ sound systems, we are trying to REPRODUCE an actual live event that we sometimes get to experience so there is an actual point of reference which the equipment attempts to emulate. In fact,... | |
| How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes? Regardless of what tube amp you get, I highly recommend if you have kids and/ or pets to get one that has some type of cage around all the tubes! Better safe than sorry for a bad burn or blown amp. I have a Rogers High Fidelity RHF 200 Mark II... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? Bruce19 - very well put. I think many of us fluctuate between the two. I know I do. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones Silly question similar to what’s better, an apple or an orange? They both fruit, both are delicious but they’re clearly different. We all know that the Lennon - McCartney song writing duo & a little later, Harrison wrote some of the greatest ... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? I think it's always difficult to compare old hifi equipment w/ new stuff for the obvious reason the former is "old" & probably does not sound as good as it once did. Who bought a receiver back then & didn't use it much & took great car... | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? Fortunately, the only house guests I have over (or want) know me well & that I'm serious about my sound sound & at least know its very expensive & not be be touched. I think I would be like an alert jaguar ready to pounce w/ folks I ... | |
| Just wow… Beautiful! Thanks very much. |
