| Scent of an Audio Store If I smell cannabis, I'll probably like the store.... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? The thread is 12 years old, so I wonder which he ended up with? | |
| Steely Dan UHQR Sure are a lot of people who know how good this is or isn't who have never even heard it. | |
| Quandry Can't say for sure, but I'd think that if you're able to make cartridge alignment adjustments by yourself, like with the anti-skating, there wouldn't be much else the technician could do, I would suggest watching a few YouTube vids or online artic... | |
| Steely Dan UHQR I ordered it last week; should be showing up any day. This is the kind of thing I've been wanting to hear since I upgraded my speakers a few months ago. 'Aja' was like an 'audiophile' recording when it came out. Another great audiophile-quality r... | |
| Running a Vacuum Cleaner near Tubes I remember when we got a color TV console in the 60's, and the guy had to come by with the Degaussing ring and a mirror to angle in front of the screen, so he could see what all the color adjustment knobs on the back were doing as he was adjusting... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? @erik_squires - indeed, once broken in, a speaker should perform how it was designed to perform and no more playing will increase the performance. I dunno about that 'very quickly' part, though - that's not been my experience with either speakers... | |
| Audiophiles, Music, and Equipment: Can We Be Both "Conservative" AND "Progressive"? @nonoise + 1 | |
| Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice? @kennyc - What are MSB 120 and 126? The only MSB I'm familiar with makes very high-end DACs and amps, not speakers. | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds I've got an MSB S-200 integrated amp; their design has, per the manual, "pure class A stage to increase the voltage signal, and class A-B stage with no voltage gain to increase the current supplied.". This amp was in the $10,000 range when it was ... | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Kristeen Young is my undisputed numero uno - 11 self-released albums since 1997, over 120 songs, and every single one of them is among the best I've ever heard; music I needed to hear but didn't know existed until 2018 when I read about her in a D... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? I'd say it depends on the rest of your system. Somebody with a relatively inexpensive setup might not be able to tell the difference between TT's, but somebody with a more resolving one could hear a large difference. Same would go for carts, I'd t... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? None of my speakers are 'poorly designed'; they were designed to require around 200 hours of break-in. Buy used speakers if you don't want to deal with things like that. | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? I don't think it's real. I know it's real. Sometimes 200 hours or more real. | |
| Is there miracles in audio experience ? @singingg - I do art photography myself (and used to do concert photography in the 70's), and Minor White was great, yeah? |
