| Hearing aid question Would audiophile hearing aids be any good for helping to understand speech in different environments, or would you need a 2nd pair of hearing aids for that? I would be a customer for audiophile hearing aids, but I'd need them to perform just as we... | |
| Is there a cheaper alternative to this: Probably not if you want the speakers to sound like they were designed to be. | |
| Hearing aid question Headphones are at just as much a disadvantage without hearing aids as speakers are; I never knew what my headphones actually sounded like until I started using in-canal hearing aids with them. @peter_s - It would be nice if you could, but no, yo... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records I don't know what you got, but some of those more inexpensive ultrasonic machines are not made for records but rather for things like jewelry. I bought a DeGritter about 3 years ago and have cleaned thousands of records in it and it still works l... | |
| Hearing aid question You can get top level hearing aids at Costco for about $1500/pair. I just did that a few weeks ago (I used to pay about $3000 each for the same quality). I've been wearing hearing aids for over 20 years, and the improvement it has made in music li... | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? This is why warranties come with time periods. You're lucky they offered to do what they did; good luck! | |
| Great song by the Clash Always one of my favorites, whether the original by Bobby Fuller Four or the Clash's great cover. I also love their song 'Jail Guitar Doors'. The Clash do a lot of great crime-related songs... | |

| Discogs now block images of record covers! On YouTube vinyl channels, the presenters sometimes have to hold their hand over part of the album cover if there is nudity on it.... Yeah, I think it's all silly. | |
| SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ? @boxcarman - didn't I once see something about playing Sabbath at 16rpm, drinking a bottle of Nyquil, and seeing god? 🤣 | |

| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? I live in an apartment and my experience with speakers and spikes is that spikes definitely transmit more bass energy through the floor. I have wall-to-wall carpeting and there is a foot of cement between floors, so I've lived here for 33 years an... | |
| Mood Can't say I've experienced that phenomenon, but then I've only got music playing at certain times.... | |
| One answer to an oft-asked question. I used to keep up with new music from ICE magazine which always posted the upcoming new releases. That's been gone for decades, and I would read about new music in 'Q' Magazine from the UK, but that's gone now too. I'm interested in new music, but... | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer I also have YouTube going through my 2-channel system via its app on my Sony TV, Not as good quality as my CD's or vinyl, but good enough that I'm fine with it and it's quite convenient. |
