| Yes, I ordered a pair..... Indeed, I've had several headphones that I was ready to return based on how they sounded out of the box, but ended up enjoying after break-in. Like speakers, they're mechanical and need break-in time - some need just a little, some need hundreds o... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup 60/40 new/used. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? Just recently got a DB meter app; I live in an apartment and I sit about 8 feet from my speakers which are about 8 feet apart. What I considered 'loud' turned out to be between 40 and 55 db! And I play rock music, not ambient! | |
| Mick Ralphs has passed away Mick was responsible for some awesome music over the decades, going back to that first Mott the Hoople with the MC Escher cover; RIP Mick.... | |
| What is your audio axiom? @ozzy62 - it would seem that way, yeah? But in my apartment I've got a long livingroom and I have my gear set up width-wise, not length-wise, so on one side I've got about 15 feet until the window wall, and on the other side about 10 feet from the... | |

| Chair I had a stressless chair but the back extended up past my head so I didn't like it for listening to music; I've since replaced that with a real Eames chair and ottoman, and while it sits just a tad lower than I'd prefer, the sound is much better f... | |
| What is your audio axiom? I'd tell them that the most important thing is the music; I didn't enjoy songs any less as a teenager listening on a cheap clock-radio than I do now hearing them on a true audiophile system and a room with wall-to-wall carpet and no side-walls. Bu... | |
| Another Flashback Friday - Rick Wakeman Final Tour Review @mylogic - Thank you for all that! Yes, the Lizard Peninsula is on the list. Your suggestion is great, but alas, I do not drive (something the world should be grateful for).... I had this same issue in the Cotswolds a number of years ago. I was ab... | |
| Speakers for Mc240 You might want to start a thread in the 'Speakers' category too; you should get some different responses there to check out. | |
| Real musicians don't need "awards." The people who Carol played bass for were 'entertainers'. Entertainment is not a negative thing. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 - or you could start a new thread under 'Digital' posing the same question? A lot of folks might read it who wouldn't think to look in 'analog'. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Imagine how many responses you'd have gotten on this thread if it had been posted under 'Digital' instead of 'Analog'.... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic - Indeed, Rick was never lacking in ambition. He was a really different character than the other Yessers. And what a character Rick is! His son is doing music these days.... | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. @cleeds - So much for AI? AI can only work with the information it's given; if that's what Spotify says, and the question was about Spotify, then the answer was spot-on. It's not AI's job to come up with a conclusion like 'This is laughable - Spot... |
