| Digital LP’s That's quite the generalization; in many cases that would be true, but like with almost anything else, I've no doubt that many exceptions can be found. | |
| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? The speakers are what I'm actually hearing, so I'd possibly be speakers first, but if the source of what the speakers are playing is faulty. "Garbage In, Garbage Out", or 'GIGO' for short, btw, is an old, old expression - used it with IT along wit... | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. I'm not interested in reproducing a live gig in my home; I'm interested in getting the best I can (with what I can afford) from what the producer put on the recording. The same live performance can sound completely different depending on the liste... | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. I'm a bit confused when I read reviewers talk about gear that gets them 'tapping their toes'. To me, it's the MUSIC that will get me tapping my toes, just like it did when I was a teenager in the 60's with a handheld transistor radio. I had no pro... | |
| The Horror @erik_squires + 1 - most of the rooms I've been at at audio shows try to compensate for poor room treatment with more volume. Louder will almost always sound better if it's not distorting. For me, having to hear Diana Krall or Nora Jones at regula... | |

| My experience with The Music Room Quite often, 'open-box' items were unsealed just so they can sell it below the list price, as some vendors/manufacturers will not let retailers sell their new gear for under that. Once the box has been unsealed, it is no longer 'new' and the retai... | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: Whatever you get better be the same height and have the speakers at the same angle as the real stands or the speakers will not sound as they were designed to be. | |
| Hardware or source materail I think the better use of funds would be to buy more of those double-45 RPM albums; I've got several myself, and the sound is amazing no matter what they're played on. Of course it may sound better with more expensive gear, but I could say the sam... | |
| Hearing aid question @signaforce - yeah, maybe in the future there will be something like that. I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years now and tend to upgrade them every 4 or 5 years. They have gotten better and most have 'music' programs and very basic Bass, Mid, a... | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s I have had those too, and they're superb. | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s I've been using Black Dragon headphone cables from Moon Audio for both my Utopia and my Susvara; they are very good and should be in your general price range if you'd like to investigate. |
