| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? OP here. I want to say that've been following this thread with great interest. I've enjoyed reading almost all of the posts especially those that present their own ideas on why the phenomenon seems to occur and how to go about getting past it. ... | |
| Forced to DIY When I owned four motorcycles the two that gave me joy to work on were the '93 Ducati 900SS and the '75 Moto Guzzi 850-T. But aside from oil changes, the other two, '96 BMW K1100RS and '04 Kawasaki ZX11-R got the "Visa Wrench". They simply were no... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? I think most everything we do in life involves the concept of "diminishing returns". I love cigars. And happily I've found that I don't have to break the bank to buy, say, Cuban puros over other less expensive smokes. Same goes for wine, cars a... | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions @painter24 Thank you! Wow I love this. New music to listen to! Goes right back to the thread I started on new music: Why do we stop listening to new music? And I'm going to track down some of the other suggestions from this thread. Happy liste... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? @curiousjim mentioned Acoustat. For years I used a pair of Hafler DH-220s running in bridged mode to power them and the RH Labs sub I have. This provided about 440wpc. Then a few years ago someone pointed out to me that electrostatics aren't exact... | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? Hmm, where to begin? One of the main qualities of "stereo" is to provide a sense of space and placement. Wiki has a pretty decent article about it: So in that regard, imaging is rather important element of stereo else we’d all have one spea... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Wow this has been a delightful conversation! Lot of interesting comments and suggestions for new music. Thank you! I gave it some thought and started wondering what defines "new music" in the context of this conversation? Is it chronologically ne... | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? @kenjit says... "Scanspeak drivers mounted in concrete walls 10 inch thick with the rear side facing a large room filled with fibreglass... The KSS would offer the best of both worlds. A wooden box, without the wooden sound..." Concrete walls, w... | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. For me, it can only be... Santana Abraxas, the original Columbia pressing. Also for those expressing concern about something being their only choice, the OP did not state that it would be playing constantly. Only that it would be the only record... | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear @asvjerry yeah, I was pop's "strong back" for many a year and odd job. 🤣 It took me about a week to disassemble and pack everything into their crates and boxes. (Interesting factoid: Those B&W's are shipped in Danish wood crates!) Thank goodn... | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear @zufan yeah, I get it. Earlier this year I went to FL from WA to pack up my deceased pop's rig that he left me... B&W Matrix 800s (~250lbs ea) VPI TNT V Hotrod (~150lbs) Jadis JP80 MC (~70lbs) Jadis Defy 7 (~80lbs) Accuphase DP90 and DC 9... | |
| Types of Audiophiles "Live and Let Live." That's me, man. Spend your money or don't. Just don't harsh my mellow, ok? Enjoy the vibes. (But be sure you have all your gear properly isolated from vibration first.) 😉 Besides, if we can't laugh at ourselves, what's the... | |
| Nobsound Isolation: Boing, boing, boing... @dpop " Audio performance is also subjective. What may sound good to your ears, may not sound good to mine." Quote of the year! I wish more people would consider this... Happy listening! | |
| Nobsound Isolation: Boing, boing, boing... @dpop you raise a good point about spikes/tiptoes vs. springs. In fact, now I'm curious as to the potential effect spikes might have vs. the Nobsound system. I might run out to my storage unit and get some and try it this weekend. Speaking of iso... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender As others have said, MESH is the way to go. I have an ASUS RT-AS86U and a pair of RP-AC1900 nodes. The main router is upstairs in my office while I have a node downstairs in the living room and another also downstairs in my wife's office. I origin... |
