| hearing loss and speaker selection Yes scott22 there is plenty of evidence that a speakers ability to reproduce sounds outside the range of what you can "hear" does indeed impact the music you are able to hear. The evidence is there scientifically, from personal experience, and eve... | |
| Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way They're extensively improved now. Even little things like the arm rest and lifter. They should add vernier marks on the VTA adjuster. Works fine, just have to DIY if you want that, which is not at all hard to do. My favorite is they added a little... | |
| Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data. Roger Skoff: not knowing how to listen is a far more important problem than not being able to hear. I would say for the benefit of some here, applies equally well to ideas as music. Some of these guys, not you OP, but everyone can guess who I... | |
| Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way Smart move. In case it doesn't work out, you might not know this but Mark Baker gives full original purchase price of your old arm when buying a new one. At least he did for me. So I got to use my Conqueror almost 15 years and then bam, full money... | |
| Why is NASCAR suddenly topping the charts? Well it did start as bootleggers racing to see who was fastest. MotoGP is insane! Rossi is amazing. Now though with Hamilton emerging as the new GOAT this is the time to be watching F1. The championship is so close we may go into the last race wit... | |
| Why is NASCAR suddenly topping the charts? Sentence first, verdict afterwards! | |
| Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way Congrats on the Teres, a table that shoots far above its weight. Got my fingers crossed your new one is an improvement on the OL, a mighty fine arm in its own right. | |
| How to tame a bright system? snarfie23, I’m sure you cut and pasted that. But in case you actually wrote it, when (if) you wake up from OD'd on the Cool-Aid, stop and think about what you "said"- allows one to reach the maximum transparency of the sound. Transparent means... | |
| Why is NASCAR suddenly topping the charts? This crowd strongly supports the LGBFJB community. MAGA! (Make Audiogon Great Again) | |
| Phono Preamp upgrade Great minds, etc etc. | |
| Here's Why Movie Dialogue Has Gotten More Difficult To Understand Unintelligible? Right away I thought, "Christopher Nolan!" Sure enough, he comes up right away. But the next biggest factor comes way near the end, "Sound is still a mystery to a lot of people." Oh well. It is by and large a lot better than it w... | |
| Phono Preamp upgrade Right, I had PH3SE, $2500 back in the day, at 20 years old it sold for $1k, probably find one under $900 today. Don't know what you would find for $900 today though but that would be one fine phono stage. | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? There's an easy way to test and see if your system really does what it says it does. If it is truly isolated then it will disconnect from AC and run entirely off batteries. When this happens you will hear the sound improve, and because it is runni... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? The guy selling it says it works. Imagine that! Just one difference between actual experience and ad copy. | |
| How to tame a bright system? Room EQ is a horrible answer. Always ruins detail as you have noticed. Another unavoidable problem with EQ it is impossible to alter frequency response without also altering timing and timbre. It is just an awful "solution" but it hangs around bec... |
