| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? I can just see the marketing and engineering/r&d departments of these manufacturers working hand-in-hand with each other to accomplish what you're describing. | |
| Ultimate test of bass - Lana del Rey's A&W @rickderuyter - this just came out in the last week or so. I think A&W is my favorite on there... | |
| Ultimate test of bass - Lana del Rey's A&W @jonwolfpell - The Band's first album was 'Music From Big Pink' - 'The Band' with the brown cover was their 2nd album. | |
| Custom Window Sound Blockers John Darko just put up a video about curtains that were supposed to absorb sound and his experience with them.... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" I like Ray for sure, even though I don't have any of his records, but I don't think there is any musical artist, no matter how brilliant or well-regarded, who will be enjoyed by 100% of all music fans. If somebody doesn't like something, you can't... | |
| What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard? I don't see the need to ram music into categories like whether something is 'rock' or 'pop' - people who don't like it won't see any difference between them and (most) people who like them don't really care what you call it. @tylermunns - 'Mulho... | |
| Favorite genres for fun listening I always listen to music for fun, so my favorite genres are the many sub-genres of rock music and reggae, and I've also got time for various sub-genres of hip-hop/rap and electronic/techno, though I don't listen to those as much. | |
| Passion, or ..... Precision? @kingbr - agree about Steve Harris, and a wonderful songwriter as well. Those early Maiden albums sounded awful on CD when they first came out in the 80's (though I still enjoyed the music), but the redone ones are great! 👍 As for somebody quotin... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile When I was a teenager, I loved listening to music, even though it was often on a hand-held transistor radio. Today I have a 5-figure sound system in both 2-channel and headphone. I could still enjoy a great song on a transistor radio today and it ... | |
| Casual listening Not for me - I'm only playing my gear when I am actively listening to it - I don't keep music in the background for day-to-day activities, just like my TV is never on unless there is something I am particularly watching. That doesn't mean I'm eval... | |

| Passion, or ..... Precision? Doesn't really bother me that much; sound quality doesn't get my 'toes tapping', as it were - music does. My toes did plenty of tapping when I was 16 and listening on a little transistor radio. I certainly prefer better sounding music, but I'd rat... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I manage to have plenty of time to listen to tunes, watch movies and television series, and read a lot of books. Good for several hours a day of each..... | |
| Hollywood Records reissue of Queen "Jazz" I saw Queen around the time of Queen II, and they were awesome - a magnificent show, and only $2.... | |
| The last of the black Rock 'n' Roll pioneers? @bdp24 - through the mid-70's through the next 10 years or so, pretty much any party I'd go to in the SF Bay Area would have at least as much blowzeen on hand as cannabis. I liked 'em both, plus some other goodies, so it was fine with me. Starting... |
