| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." I know you’re fishing for a hostile debate but the market has clearly spoken. Nearly no one cares about CDs and I can’t see that ever happening again. Cassettes are coming back but that will be short lived. Yes, higher resolution. It’s digital so ... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." I think this will be directly related to the price of used CDs. Personally, I can’t see them ever appreciating in value or making a comeback like vinyl, especially since we have access to an increasing cloud library of higher resolution digital fi... | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary I don’t notice any bloat. Just compared to the 1979 MoFi pressing. The new one is very good. Clean, new detail I’ve never heard before, and excellent balance. I still far prefer the 1979. The MoFi one is richer, full bass, and darker (that’s not t... | |
| film scores It’s too bad Hans Zimmer ruined film scores for everyone with his generic brand of meh. | |
| Listening to music matters Freddie Hubbard thought my woof was going to blow? I have many many Music Matters 45s, and I can't say I've heard anything unusual on them. They're my best pressing of every title I have. | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Ella by a milebut can we talk about how comically terrible Lyn Stanley is? My only thought is that she saw the success of the Florence Foster Jenkins movies and wanted in. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I received a wonderful note from Boulder on my question about the 1160. While I have not heard it yet, I suspect this one will be at the top of my list going in to listening sessions. I'm incredibly happy with the 508 Phono and the build quality i... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I think the best way to improve sound stage is room correction. Something like MiniDSP. In your price range I think it will work magic. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @mrdecibel i just need to find a place to hear them. | |
| Cconfused... We could focus on other instruments that often sound weak even on very expensive setups. Timpani is one. Trombone. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing a great trombone player in person, especially an orchestral one, you’ll know there is thi... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k If going class d, I’d probably want to hear the Merrill 116 and 118, though I’m not sure where I can audition them except at WC’s house. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I’ve got paternity leave coming up in a few weeks, so will hopefully have some time to visit shops. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Will definitely find the D’Agostino to try. Also the ARC 160S, but still pretty sure I don’t want a tube amp. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Re: cables. Open to changing but will settle on electronics first Re: Innamorata or similar small shops. I’m not too interested in products that have 0 resale and aren’t supported by a company I expect to be around in 10 years. Nothing against tho... | |
| Cconfused... fwiw I made the original comment to make sure it was understood that I was ok with slightly colored sounds, such as warmth. It’s not like I was referring to some crazy difference. I find the difference between speakers far greater than the differe... |
