| What does Hi-Fi Even Mean anymore? Just throwing the question out there again. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta with Marantz MM7025 You are good to go. I run my Ls 50 metas off 500 w/ch amps. I would not go louder than 90db or so with them in any case though in that they are small and only capable of so much output before they reach their limits. Stay within the limits and th... | |
| Banned in Audiogon? Money talks. That explains it all. You speak the language, you win. otherwise...who cares? This is a business site. Otherwise it would not exist. Forum is a granted privilege to help that. No rights involved. See how this works? | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Uh, oh, people putting words in my mouth..... I spit them back out at you. Read what people say not what you think. Better listening skills I hope. Live and learn. Test too!!! Its all real, very real!!! | |
| Anyone else upset about new Audiogon policies? I agree A’gon is not what it used to be and I’m sure there are multiple factors in play that help account for that.Maybe its time for a total reboot! Nothing lasts forever. Not even NOS. Out with the old in with the new! Get with the times! I’... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Mapman - trying and failing is not testing. Well more exactly its a failed test but so what? | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? you dont learn stuff like that from testing nerds. You get it in the field trying, failing and learning. Extra extra: trying failing and learning is called testing. Nerds are people too as gear nuts prove every day.Not sure what people are even ar... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Uh, folks breaking news: double blind IS a form of listening and learning. So it sounds like everyone agrees that is a good thing, but of course there is a place and time for everything. Right? | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Chill out folks. Nobody is going to come knocking to blind test your stuff without permission. If they do give them the boot. It’s your domain and your right to prohibit any practice you like. Let the test police find some other poor victim to har... | |
| Roon - Clipping and streaming Hmmm well one reason to be glad I have not jumped to Roon yet.I’m pretty sure nothing I use up-samples. Not something I would even want at least with CD resolution material. I’d be more receptive if lower and done well. Just do it right please and... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Yes it’s a very imperfect world out there but Audiogon members on threads are working hard to somehow make it better. Thank G-d they got their hifis and what they think they hear to help stay sane. | |
| Anyone else upset about new Audiogon policies? Anyone upset about policies I invite you to my next yard sale. I practically give things away because the yard sale is to get rid of things you don’t want anymore. You would love it. I even give freebies to kids if something catches their eye or s... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Perhaps the reality is people approve of this testing before they buy but not so much after? | |
| Anyone else upset about new Audiogon policies? Taking one’s business elsewhere is obviously always an appropriate thing to do when needed. Nothing new there. I’ve sold a few things here over the years. Nothing went unsold. If it does not sell in the first few days I lower the price. Then conti... | |
| Anyone else upset about new Audiogon policies? If Audiogon keeps raising its costs to users we won’t have any money left to buy the fuses, wires, expensive goop, and other things we all need. This is bad! Something has to give. |
