| Why Don't More People Love Audio? "Mapman, but I know many of them. They tend to not be "technical" in the university sense of the word, but rather military or self trained."Lots of reasons why people like to tinker. Formal education is not a pre-requisite. I've been doing it with... | |

"Having owned many good turntables in my audiophile life I am still wondering why not one of the modern designs of the last 20 years is able to beat the sound qualities of an EMT 927."There is not much difference in "sound quality" of one well con... | |
| MerrillAudio Veritas Reviewed at Dagogo I suppose once an innovative cost effective product or technology catches on in the high end audio world, it is ripe for a big markup if its performance is competitive with much more expensive gear. Class D amps fit this bill perfectly. I doubt th... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I tend to agree with Charker.But there are many choices out there for anyone interested, like always, from the cheapest mass produced garbage to the biggest and most expensive "high end" gear. VEry few who like audio probably pay all that much att... | |
| Triangle Comete EX, Comete 30th Anniv, or Trio? Good question.I have considered all three as an upgrade for my 15 year old Triangle Titus XS speakers someday.Triangle sound I have heard is pretty distinctive. Very fast, transparent and neutral, similar to planars. High end can tend towards bein... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Even "bad" music sounds pretty good on a good stereo. Every little bit helps..... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "The thread that refuses to die! Will it survive to 1,000 responses? What is the record?"We're in the middle of a "cliff-hanger", hoping to find out what happens in the end. Like "who shot JR?". | |
| Fuses that matter. Tbg,In general, I do not advocate people open up their expensive gear and make a tweak in the interest of better sound unless they really know what they are doing. Accidents happen, and there are many other much less risky ways to tweak for better... | |
| Fuses that matter. Hopefully, people listen to AL in that that is really the thing that "matters" most with fuses.How different ones in good operating condition sound is a distant second IMHO. Lots of other ways to tweak ones system without putting it at risk IMHO. | |

| Visualize the music.... BTW, today May 29th, is the Rite Of Spring premier's 100th anniversary . Happy anniversary! I would have loved to have been in the audience when it premiered. A pivotal day in music history for sure! | |
| Visualize the music.... Holds my attention like Astronaut Bowman going through the star gate near the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey did. Where did Stravinsky come from again? :^)Makes me anticipate and be better prepared for the next bars of music coming up before they ge... | |
| Why does most new music suck? For classic rock lovers that are looking to branch out, one of the best places to start is internet station Radio Paradise. My other favorite internet station to help broaden musical horizons from a broader roots music perspective other than rock ... |
