| Brainstorm Thursday. Are we approaching the Audiophile Singularity? Measurebators and scope jockeys are indeed quite good at reducing everything they touch to into a sort of bland mediocrity. | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. I know what you mean but the answer is: apparently not. | |
| Stirring Up Trouble MC, do you believe that if you cite a YouTube video in one of your over 8,000 posts, that someone who reads that post will attach enough importance to it that he will not only watch the video in its entirety but with enough concentration to rememb... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! I have not bought anything from a stereo salesman, not since Jafco, 1974. | |
| How loud are you typically listening? Finally, someone gets it. How loud can you go? Mine goes to 11;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgx4k83zzc | |
| The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts Good work. Directionality is easy to hear, even in stranded cables which you point out are never as clear as solid core. However it is so much work to unsolder and reverse wires I have always just left things alone. With fuses however it has been ... | |
| Speaker Positioning - ProAc D30RS People who have compared say the Podiums are a lot better than Gaia. Rather than spend a lot on something not that good, if you want to save money I would go with Nobsound springs. Probably better than Gaia but at $30 for 4 you will be happy if th... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! Compromise is right. The cleanest records I know are the Hot Stampers from Better-Records.com they are cleaned using the Walker Enzyme 4 step method on a very expensive RCM that uses a cleaning wand that continually feeds fresh cleaning thread so ... | |
| What interesting or unusual gear has passed though your system during your audio life? Had a battery powered MC demagnetizer. Hooked it up a few times, never seemed to make any difference. Opened it up, pretty impressive looking circuit board, LEDs and everything. One day I thought, well if it's doing anything it would be generating... | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? Hate to tell you, but if any of your recordings sound worse then your system is more selective, not better. I have zero recordings that don't sound a whole lot better, and a lot of them that were blah are now captivating. Whole lot of em. Could gi... | |
| Schumann Resonator Tom you crack me up. Keep em coming. Those grounding dealie-bobbers, they look like a loop? But that would just be a longer version of a grounding plug? Or is something akin to Fight Club magic matter involved? | |
| Future of this hobby? Right. LMAO! The OP was 15 years ago. Here we are today, high end bigger than ever, LP sales actually greater than CD, not exactly the extinction event prophesied in the "great perspectives"! You want a truly great perspective? Doomsayers been doo... | |
| I Have Airborne Feedback And Never Realized It...Till Now Have to say the Townshend guy’s videos make an awful lot of sense. MC is making a lot of sense on this too. Slap your table on one of those platforms and I bet most problems go away Right. Here's some more common sense. Ever notice how you can... | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year I don't put too much faith in them either. One of the first crazy expensive systems I ever heard belonged to this guy who was into "deals". His whole system was a Who's Who of Stereophile Class A picks. All bought used on the basis of being "the b... | |
| Interesting Video from Upscale Audio Mike Lavigne posted this weeks ago. Legally deaf, yet he can hear differences between cables and things- apparently better than a number of audiophiles. |
