| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS I can’t believe how bad ( to my ears) modern hi fi sounds regardless of cost. So sad, so true. I was in Definitive Audio recently. Listened to Brubeck's Time Out on their premier system. Very dynamic, tons of detail, nothing the least bit organ... | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker I used to know this audiophile, he was the classic case of the guy always whining about overpriced snake-oil interconnects, especially the overpriced part. Tried telling him yeah sure, they're overpriced based on the cost of the wire, insulation, ... | |
| Smartphone audio sadness Funny, I've always thought of Apple as the quality audio leader. Although eliminating the phone jack has ticked me off. Last thing I need, another connector adaptor.Got me curious though. You actually listening to these things just like you would ... | |
| audiophile fuses for Luxman, Wyred 4 Sound, and Simaudio I haven't compared fuses. All I know, the Synergistic Research Blue Quantum Fuse comes with a 30 day no questions asked return. So I tried one in my Melody tube integrated amp. It was like upgrading to a $500 (at least) power cord. So I got a coup... | |
| OT: Using electrostatic motors for a watch movement erik_squires Damn, I don't know why I always call the Seiko movement a "Swing Drive" instead of a "Spring Drive." Yes and Grand Seiko too by the way. Seiko is a corporate juggernaut comparable to GE or IBM. Grand Seiko is a tiny little niche of... | |
| Disco...yep, I'm going there Problem with Disco was it followed on the heels of some very historic, groundbreaking musical trends from the 60's. It was an obvious money grab that corporate music completely embraced and basically shoved down the throat of the American publi... | |
| How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb? Changing a light bulb is so old paradigm. As everyone ought to know by now you need four light bulbs distributed asymmetrically around the room. | |
| Basic cable question Lol! What a crock! Salesman is right, he is selling you not helping. If you really are running the stock crap patch cords that come with components then yes, anything and everything will be a major improvement. But do not just buy the first thing ... | |

| Which Sub-platter for my original planar 3 williewonkaNice work, Steve. Turntables really lend themselves to mods and examples like yours show just how far it can go. What's hard to get across though is when you get all these "tweaks" together how transformative it can be. Wouldn't surpris... | |

| Phono Pre Impedance Matching- Herron VTPH -2A or Manley Chinook I'm with almarg. When Keith says something like "there might be some compromise" keep in mind his incredibly conservative nature. Of course I'm so impressed with my 2A its hard not to recommend it to everyone. You mentioned the other being readily... | |
