| CD's or Vinyl? About 80% streaming for me because of the convenience. Having millions of tunes at hand is incredible and the sound quality is good on most tracks. The other 20% is vinyl because, to my ears, a clean, well engineered vinyl pressing still sounds be... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? I use vinyl storage solutions outer sleeves, and they seem to work well. With that said, unless you are collecting really valuable vinyl or buying records for resale, I wouldn’t think it would make that much difference whether outer sleeves are us... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Very high probability that this is fine, but I'd try to find someone to be with you if, for no other reason, you'll be more comfortable in your interactions. I'm maybe a little cynical - was a federal prosecutor for several years-but the really ta... | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... That's a really nice, well balanced system. What's your budget? As others have said, addressing the room might be the biggest bang for buck move. I don't think you have to go wild to get significant gains. Make sure the first reflection points are... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? I think we sometimes make it too complicated. It helps, of course, to have dealers or others that you can trust for guidance. There are tons of readily available information for the discerning- sometimes too much. At the end of the day, how does ... | |
| I can live with this. Those Totems are lovely speakers. Sounds like a great rig. | |
| Getting excited Congratulations and happy listening. I'm sure it will be great. | |
| Validation Almost all my listening is alone and while we all probably enjoy affirmation, it is neither necessary nor available. I have a good idea of the sound I want and I’m closing in on it. I’m very happy with my system although I know there is always bet... | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. Ha! I have a DVD of that game which I still watch-greatest 7th game ever. That series condemned me to a lifetime of Pirates fandom only because my older brother was an obnoxious Yanks fan. The Pirates organization proves that decades of experience... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Chris Isaak in April at the Opera House, Lexington, Ky. Great show. | |
| Vinyl that is impossible to find I had a hard time finding Johnny Adams: a room with the view of the blues, but finally located a clean copy at rare vinyl and received it from the Royal mail service today. | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. @noromance Your point makes sense to me. I'm sure there are a few exceptions, but categorical statements in this hobby should be made, if at all, only about what the commenter hears-not what someone else hears with their ears in their system. | |
| And a Happy 4th to all! Let’s remember all the men and women through the generations that sacrificed to deliver this constitutional Republic to us and ask God‘s blessings that we may pass it on to our posterity in these perilous times happy Fourth of July to you all | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view I don’t agree with removing or restricting comments selectively- better to simply block them all. Regarding ocd Mikey, he’s not a reviewer and doesn’t claim to be. He’s a seller and makes that very clear. He’s upfront about his business. | |
| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. It seems that when it gets nasty here, a lot of people resort to standard arguments or some variation on those themes. Avoiding these might be a good start: 1. You don’t hear what I hear because your system is crap, too cheap and not good enough ... |
