| Why is so much music recorded out of key? Doesn't bother me and I doubt I'd be able to tell; these are not quizzes or tests, just music that one either enjoys or does not. | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. What does 'correct presentation' mean? | |
| Two questions to make you mad. They didn't make me mad. 😄 | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. It would depend on who is doing the 'considering'. I wouldn't worry about it too much and just enjoy yer tunes.... | |
| Speakers versus Balance vs Amplifier @hickamore - most hearing aids have multiple programs, or different EQ settings, for different circumstances. This will be given names, sometimes like 'music' or 'hi-fi' or some such. How accurate the names are remains to be seen or heard. Whichev... | |
| Heavy Vinyl Speakers Corner from Germany makes some excellent all-analogue re-issues that look completely authentic; I got their versions of BOC's 'Tyranny and Mutation' and 'Secret Treaties' and they are superb. They don't sell direct, though - you have to b... | |
| Heavy Vinyl @tablejockey - 'Second Winter' was on 2 LP's - one side of one LP was blank. | |
| Heavy Vinyl @vair68robert - A tribute to John Fahey? I didn't know such a thing existed; that must be quite the endeavor - I'm trying to imagine how you'd 'interpret' John Fahey without being him! I will look into this, thanks... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? I do know what sounds better to me.

| Has Anyone Else Listened to Carina Round? I wouldn't have thought there would be vineyards in Arizona - maybe that's why it was terrible? 😁 | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Prove you're right - you're the one throwing out that statement. Nobody else has anything to prove. | |
| Has Anyone Else Listened to Carina Round? I checked her out on YouTube - very good stuff indeed... I see that most that I saw on there was like 9 to 14 years old; is she still doing anything? | |
| Heavy Vinyl My own experience has been that many (certainly not all) contemporary 180g vinyl records I've bought have more discernible surface noise, tics, etc than many of my 'legacy' vinyl records from the 70's, some of which are absolutely perfect in that ... | |
| Herron Audio...Still in business @dodgealum + 1 - I also have a 360 Line Stage and 2a phono stage and have been delighted with their performance since I got them; some of the tubes are wearing out but I've got replacements on the way. I had to contact Keith last week about the tu... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Take anything anybody tells you with a proverbial grain of salt. You'll hear a great many differing opinions.... |
