| About users with hidden agendas Why should anyone assume a shill does not receive compensation? I’ve observed many cases where a shill was explicitly asked that and they either dance around the question or ignore it. Please! This site does not exist due to chit chat. | |
| About users with hidden agendas One crosses over into “shill” territory for me when a product is consistently and unconditionally pitched to all on the sole totally subjective merit of “better sound”. That clearly indicates selling the product no matter what is all that matters... | |
| About users with hidden agendas The key to "shill" longevity here and in most cases I reckon is to be a "mensch": Definition of mensch : a person of integrity and honor Seen those here and those not so much. You can often predict how it is going to end based on the m... | |
| About users with hidden agendas my question is, how can i become a paid shill No experience personally but I suspect like most things you just have to be good at it and want to do it. I was a salesman early on....Lafayette Radio, TEch Hifi, Radio Shack. We were trained when s... | |
| About users with hidden agendas There is nothing here to prevent hidden agendas so you can be sure they are there and not hard to detect over time. It is what it is. High end audio is pretty much one big expensive hidden agenda. As long as people are respectful and factual, and ... | |
| Why People Like Tekton Hyper-detail alone is just one part of the whole. Acoustics have a lot to do with that like most things along with the gear. We want it all and we want it now! | |
| How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear? Piano is probably the single best instrument to use as a reference in that it can deliver good dynamics across a wide range of frequencies, but unless one was highly biased towards listening exclusively to piano music (what??) I would not rely exc... | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? Check any music frequency chart. There is no music up there to hear if one even could and the gear is capable. Just noise most likely. Waste of time and money but if you’ve already conquered what does exist and can be heard then there has to be so... | |
| About users with hidden agendas It’s an open forum. You can do what you think right. I’d just be civil and sure of your facts. | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM That’s a big change. I’d be sure about it somehow before committing fully. Can you keep the old stuff until the new stuff passes the grade? | |
| Supper's Ready Two different but similar interpretations for sure. SR fans should also check out Steve Hackett’s solo version in recent years and the live version included on the first Genesis box set. Impossible to choose the best, only a favorite at any p... | |
| The worst sentence in audio writing It can happen in some cases. No worse than many other things people say. | |
| Describe your preference in a single sentence I like ‘em articulate with a little meat on the bones. | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems Heard @lancelock’s optical cart setup the other day and yes it was quite stellar. When both analog and digital playback are done extremely well the sounds tend to converge. It was one of the best phonos I have heard. Piano dynamics on an especiall... | |
| What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system? Take a sound meter app and some white noise and see what you got and how much room there is for a sub to fill things out. Then you will know the answer. |
