| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. Here is an update:I brought the system to my house and threw out an old love seat to make room for it.The room is 10'x20'. The system is on a short wall at one end and my listening chair is on the short wall at the other end, in other words I'm li... | |
| Blocking the propaganda Maybe I spoke too soon. But there are always flamers I guess. | |
| Blocking the propaganda There are certain reviewers in the camera world that garner a following mostly due to charisma and attempts at being iconoclastic. Even when they are shown to be inconsistent and even dead wrong their “followers” will admit no flaw. As as far as c... | |
| Blocking the propaganda Glupson, it gets just as crazy if not more so in the automotive world. There are so many more intangibles than the simple physics would suggest. The fancier and pricier the cars the worse it gets. Any given machine that performs too well and too e... | |
| Blocking the propaganda Glupson, my explanation about Bentleys was pure fiction. A little satire aimed at the audiophile stereotype. Not really my place to do so since I am a beginner at this and have other hobbies that likely sound equally ridiculous to those outside th... | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks Well, Buddy Guy is a "black guy" so I don’t see anything condescending about that....but being at a concert and not knowing who he is, well, that’s just pitiful....Edit: Thanks for the references to some of Neko's other songs. I'll definitely look... | |

I should probably ask this question somewhere else but when I click on "Start a new discussion" I get this: "You are currently not allowed to do that."Not sure if I've done something wrong or exceeded my limit.Anyway I have found an ACOUSTIC RESEA... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Neko Case, Hold On, Hold On:I left the party at 3 a.m., alone thank god......... | |
| Newbie question. I downloaded a free sampler of music from HD Tracks this afternoon. Will see how they sound on the hifi system tomorrow. | |
| Newbie question. Thanks. I just tried this on my old system from high school (I had no idea you could do this) and it actually works quite well. The iPhone volume had to be set close to all the way up but with it at that volume it played through the old receiver q... | |
| So what’s the future look like I remember as a teenager (70s-80s) getting a new album and sitting down and listening to it all the way through with friends. Few of us had really nice hifi equipment but some of us had decent stuff....and that is whose house we all went to.I’m li... | |
| Where to learn the terminology? Thanks David. That is an excellent reference. I read the whole thing last night.I'm into photography and making my own prints. It is amazing how close the lingo for describing sound and light are. | |
| Newbie question. Excellent. |
