| Audiophiles on Audiogon. I concur with your observation for sure... But the relation between recording an acoustic lived performance and "conveying" all the trade off choices of the recording engineer to a speakers/rooms/ears is more a TRANSLATION for me than a reproduct... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. The one similarity to hifi audio is that hifi has also reached a technical plateau. The response to that is much different. It is also because acoustic integrate optic channels in the brain not the reverse...Acoustic channels in the brain are o... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? I think for the almost all audiophiles, whether they admit it or not, it is a matter of logistics and retail therapy. Audiophiles buy equipment because they like to buy equipment. It’s retail therapy for them. Just the simple act of something new... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. I concur with that... Labelling people "troll" is child play... If you turn a troll post into intelligent discussion they lose. If you just get angry, they win. | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. Exactly and you are right... But this means listening music and being sensible to the acoustic condition and acoustic environment... All musician are sensible to the way a chosen instrument will sound in specific acoustic condition... hi fi gu... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. It is a fact that some aspect of the gear quality can be measured but not all...Why? Because any piece of gear must be listened to in specific acoustic condition to be judged... But rejecting measures is irrational, and using only measures is st... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. Audio science is COMPLEX...And science is not reducible to technological play and tools... Measures of piece of gear with tools dont tell all the story... correlation with acoustic experiments are necessary... Audio science need tools and educa... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. Audiophile success must be based on acoustic learning not on the gear... if someone know what he is doing , he can create great sound experience with ANY relatively good gear at ANY price level in ANY room... Focus on exlusive gear listening, or... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. Rockwell depict an image in white and black... He must sells to add views on his site... He must be provocative and stay a bit provocative... i was an audiophile myself till few months ago... Why? Because i dreamed to own a system with a m... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? We are not in accord on all matter but we are on this one... And anyway our dissension about other matter are secondary... I will say one thing, censorship will always be bad, as it is and has always been a tool of oppression. | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. The definition you cite claims that audiophiles (implying all, as this is a definition) are: non-technical non-musical confused kooks who imagine the darnedestly stupid things about audio equipment Then you say that "I have found his sta... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? People can argue about design in amp, and i am with atmasphere about the evident technical progress that have been made here like in any other field... But dont forgot that the sound impression is not only created by the design of an amplifier bu... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Not if you are making technically implausible claims...no. In many instances (not all, but many) we really can say, through measurements, that "X is bad" or "the difference you heard was in all likelihood your imagination." It doesn’t matter wh... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? By the way there is a difference between unlimited naive tolerance denounced by Popper correctly so , and critical and selective tolerance a la Marcuse...Between these two there is, GUIDING tolerance, behind it and in front of it education and co... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? How do you think to exterminate them or eliminating them ? censorship? labor boot camp?
