| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? If I had access to a Time Machine first I would go back and tell myself to not go see Neil Diamond in 1989. Then I would go back and watch his Hot August Night performance. Or maybe warning myself would change time and then I wouldn't want to go s... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review Not surprised but happy to hear. Several here have tried them on my word and all have been very happy. Also I mentioned speakers because that is the main market but pretty sure there is at least one who used a Podium under his turntable to solve a... | |
| Experience with HFTs That's all? Are you sure you don't want to know why aftermarket power cords are necessary? Why doesn't the manufacturer just ship the amp with the best tubes? Why do we have to move speakers again anyway???!😂Sorry, but that was a lot of questions.... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig or other Koetsu on medium mass arms Millercarbon-Another thing I know for sure, this business of compliance and mass is pure theory. On that score I am in perfect agreement with Origin Live founder Mark Baker: "theory bears little or no relation to reality." Â Â lewm-I have no idea wh... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound I'm much happier now and all my music collection can be enjoyed for what it is: Recorded music. Right. Hardly any recordings are trying to be "true to the event" anyway. That would be like an artist with a paintbrush trying to produce a Polaroid.... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig or other Koetsu on medium mass arms You will find plenty of guys here eager to tell you all about the importance of mass and compliaal\[fisa[d iu ]asu fklfgn;alfhg; sorry, this subject is so exciting I dozed off. My Koetsu Black Goldline is used on a 13 year old Origin Live Conquer... | |
| Cart adjustment, that moment when you nail it! Spoil sport.  Well done! Now you know why we say: tweaks rule! | |
| Long power cable for subwoofer Extension cord, totally. Subs are one of the rare cases where wire quality makes hardly any difference. | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. thyname, -Where is it? Your “system “ that is. I have asked you that same question your four previous fake usernames ago. I never got an answer Four usernames. Good catch. And none with a system? How right I was: Empty suit. Clown. Thought of ... | |
| Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost? Any particular choice of amplifier above a basic good design (about $400 seems to be enough) would be justified only if you deliberately seek some distortion type of your choice. Â Check it out: Totally admits there are differences, but only if... | |
| Acoustic treatment You can do all that, and more. If it was me though I would first try Townshend Pods under those speakers. They tightened up bass and removed a lot of resonance I used to think was room related. May not be enough to completely eliminate your proble... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc One downside is, once having WOW feeling from D2D records' sound quality, many other records you own sound not so musical to listen to.I have a few, and always wondering that why other records were not made to the same quality. D2D requires musi... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? "The crowd requested such Beatles hits as Street Fighting Man, Don’t Mess With Jim, Hand Jive, and Kung Fu Fighting." "Our listeners have begun collecting signatures to reunite the Rolling Stones, and if that goes over I see no reason why we can't... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Oh crap! Sorry! Almost forgot- Neil Diamond! One of the hottest performers in his prime, he had unbeknownst to me degenerated by 1990 into some sort of Christian version of Bill Murray’s Nightclub singer. Walking into the concert we were beginning... | |
| If your were to assemble a vintage system ? Well, it wouldn't involve any receivers, that's for sure! Remember you said "musical" not "crapical"!  For musical I would go with something like the Dynaco SCA-35 tube integrated amp. https://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/dynaco-sca35_e.html For speak... |
