| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I think the advent of streaming services has indeed helped to expose older listeners to new music…That’s been my experience at 66 yrs. old anyway. I recently put together a playlist on Tidal that I entitled “Modern Music that Paw Paw Likes” 😂. N... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? FWIW, I’ve felt like the sound quality of my bought-brand-new-in-1978 Pioneer SX-1250 was bettered - significantly - by every successive move to a newer amp I’ve made since 1986. In order, and (as always) to my ears, the 1986 Denon 90 wpc integr... | |
| Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ My experience with Tidal vs. Apple Music is pretty much the same as the OP’s. I could easily live with an Apple subscription if that was the only one available but I preferred Tidal hands down. Haven’t tried Qobuz yet but hope to in the next yea... | |
| Songs of debauchery and excess Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers - ZZ Top | |
| Anyone else gotten SPAM pop ups the last couple of days? Up until today, 12/1/2022, the “Congrats, Google User…” pop up rendered Audiogon unusable for me. This had gone on 3 or 4 days… | |
| Front Wall with Full length Workbench Shelf I must plead guilty to trying for all the audio nirvana I can eek out of this very imperfect space…lol. I’ve spent a chunk of time trial-and-erroring absorptive DIY wall treatments to the end result that this system has gone from “a little too br... | |
| Front Wall with Full length Workbench Shelf @Russ69 It started out a combo light duty wood shop and art studio that’s transitioning to a light duty art studio and listening area. | |
| Has anyone truly compared Vintage vs. Modern? FWIW, I had the SX-1250 for seven years being bought brand new in 1977 and it was paired with JBL L65 speakers which are still in daily use after refoaming/maintenance in the late 1990s. Each successive newer amp I’ve had with my L65s has struck m... | |
| Trios “Chapel” Live - Lloyd, Frisell, Morgan @ sgordon1, that sounds spot on as to what I’m hearing. | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 Every so often, my BluOS app refuses to find my Node 2i for a day or so. Ethernet cable connections from modem to grid “pod” (eero) to Node…..so far, it’s always resolved itself - mysteriously - within 24 hours. Aside from that, I really love the ... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Sterling Home Electronics in Houston. Got a Teac A-450 cassette deck there in 1975. | |
| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? Exhibit #23: ”…The FBI took the tanks and flapper assemblies back with them to Quantico for analysis…” | |
| What are some of the mistakes, failures or bad purchases of your audio history? Going back aways here,… the Terk Pi amplified FM antenna. I got better reception with manufacturer included “T” wires tacked on the wall. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Klipschorns & properly matched, flea watt tube amplification in a room designed specifically for them…vs….Apogee Scintillas with no compromise amplification in a tailor made listening environment all source components identical How I would l... | |
| Your experience in "in their day" brands/components that you remember foundly? Loved my Teac reel to reel (X7-R). If it would’ve been a car, it would’ve had 500,000 miles on the odometer before it gave up the ghost. Loved everything about having a reel to reel during the ‘80s, …going thru the motions of threading a reel up... |
