| 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... | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. Thank you Mark. Looking at the Acoustic Research web site I started to wonder if I was equating them with Audio Research. Now I know. I will avoid it.I am now looking at an Audio Dynamics T-200 from the same place, also NOS. I’ve read some decent ... | |
| Blocking the propaganda Most Bentleys have very delicate fuel injectors and EFI processors that control them. Standard cheap filling station pump hoses tend to spend ages out in the elements and particularly in warm climates the heat that the hoses are exposed to can cau... | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. 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... | |

| 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. | |
| Newbie question. Thanks glennewdick and reubent. I will give that a try. I did not know you could route a digital signal into an analog system like that. Glad that it will work and hold me until I can research and get a DAC. For some reason I already have a set of... | |
| Blocking the propaganda clearthink, I was giving you credit for being funny. I guess it was misplaced.onhwy61.....that was funny. Really funny.For clearthink's benefit, right out of the dictionary:fetishism: 1. belief in magical fetishes. 2. extravagant irrational devoti... | |
| Non-audiophile needs help with older system. Thanks. That is my plan. | |
| Newbie question. I'm using two preamps because I already have the Sony combo unit and don't want to buy a tuner or spend any more money. So it us basically just a tuner in that sense.High end stuff is a gift/loan. So, this is what I've got, just trying to work wit... |
