| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? The higher sampling rate or higher res digital formats are superior to the limited redbook.Because information lost is replaced,by adding more ones and zeros.But this isn't reality.It's altering it.Most people prefer the sound of higher sampling r... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? R. What I feel is the problem with digital, is that it sanitizes too much of the natural distortions that are a part of everyday life,which includes the instruments themselves ,the room, the recording chain etc.When you start to eliminate these na... | |
| why do we argue? Cheap tweaks are always the best.A lot of the things I do, are DIY versions of costly tweaks that I can't afford.I like Blu Tac, I have a lot of applications for it.Here's a tweak that's cheap and although there's no night and day improvemnt, I li... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I still favour the sound of vinyl, whether old or new to cd, or SACD for that fact.If vinyl replay has more distortions, then they are of the pleasing variety, much like poor measuring SET amplifiers which sound better than the specs would lead yo... | |
| why do we argue? What I find ironic is that the objectionists,or the folks who demand scientific proof ,never indulge in the true spirit of science.Which would have to be the experiemnt.The proof can only be determined if the item under scrutiny has gone under the... | |
| why do we argue? I read the thread Bryon.But I think the pendulum is beginning to swing back to promoting better sound rather than trashing it.Pos feedback had a nice article which ties in with this thread and they published my reply to Why I am a Subjectivist in ... | |
| why do we argue? Well thanks one and all,all responses,whether they sided with me or or not are valued and again my thanks to the person who thanked the mods for aloowing this to continue.I tend to type slower than I think so my appologies if my message isn't clea... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I think there should be some distinctions about modern vs older recording techniques.Most digital recordings are done in a Frankenstein type way.Most of the musicians "phone" their parts in, they are pro(really PRO!)Tooled, and put through all kin... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? It really depends on what type of vinyl rig you set up.The better the rig, the less ticks and pops on lps new or used.I am not saying that all lps will sound better, just that it's too easy to lay the blame of noise on the vinyl medium.I've had so... | |
| why do we argue? My intial reaction was that it was joking.But,I've elicited similar responses that weren't as jovial , hence my second thoughts.I agree, much can be learned from threads that at times can get a bit hostile.If you go back to my intial post, I am in... | |
| Fuses that matter. Hifitime, that's good news that you are not a solitary audiophile.I belong to a little audio group which gets together every week on a rotational basis to listen to socialize and listen to new tunes and the occassional piece of new gear.Saddly ,as... | |
| why do we argue? Arguing for the sake of argiung is a term I've heard before.But to have a debate or argument you need two specific but differing points that are based on personal experience,or well established fact(insert science).My point is that it is only argu... | |
| Fuses that matter. I just read a review of the new mono blocks in the Brit mag,HiFi News from darTZeel,NHB-458.It states that for the first time in place of the fuse he is using a thermal switch.More costly than using HiFi Supremes but also much better I am sure.Per... | |
| Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects I think they are still using the WBT's on the upper level wires,which leads me to believe it's a cost thing.Concerning the Bi wires, I felt that two single runs per speaker was the way to do it with all cables.Splitting a cable in half never made ... | |
| Periodic replacement of Audio Grade Fuses? No problem pardner. |
