| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? "All the hallmarks of an audiophile, can occur at many different financial levels."And none of those levels are available to many lower middle class earners and virtually no lower class earners.It is almost painful watching some of you guys mental... | |
| Rumors of iTunes Demise I think a generation, and maybe even a population, is selling its soul for a few beans (how is that for a mixed metaphor?).Ownership = independence=power=money.Anyone who tries to take ownership and independence out of the equation is doing so for... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @erik_squires : "In that analogy, the musicians and producers are the race car team. The rest of us are just observers in the stands."It is unkind to torture a previously tortured analogy. ;-)"Otherwise, audiophiles are reduced to consumers of a p... | |
| Why all or most audiophiles are men? Agree totally with 2psyop. A great deal of what I read here and elsewhere about high end hi-fi smacks of utter ridiculousness that takes a man to fall for. There are exceptions. I do not have an explanation for Elizabeth's propensities. | |
| Everything Matters So with your system the mids and highs needed cleaning up? | |
| Fan on Amp Unbeatable I chose that particular model because my components are in an open front console without enough clearance for an upward venting fan.You can also get a thermostat module very inexpensively if you feel like you need it. Mine do great on the lowest s... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @erik_squires : "Price is a poor predictor of performance."Erik, I disagree, a little. I think it would be better to say that price can be a poor predictor of performance. In most things I see price and performance as a fairly bell shaped curve ac... | |
| Fan on Amp Unbeatable I set one of these on top of my AR LS-16 tube pre-amp and it really keeps things cool even on the lowest fan speed:https://www.acinfinity.com/component-usb-fans/multifan-s2-quiet-usb-cooling-blower-120mm/So, I bought two of them to set on top of m... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Black Wind Howlin' - Samantha Fish, the blonde chick blues guitar phenom. Not bad. | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? "Audiophile[Noun] a person who is very interested in and enthusiastic about equipment for playing recorded sound, and its quality."Yet another dictionary/Wikipedia definition that utterly lacks application.But if this definition is correct then Vi... | |
| Anybody heard of The Jerry Cans? Interesting. Interesting name. For those that don't know a jerry can is a gasoline or liquid container developed by the Germans, thus 'jerry', and adopted by most major militaries prior to WWII. You see them on the backs of jeeps, tanks, etc.Not s... | |
| What's playing in your head today? Today, all last week, JD McPherson's Lucky Penny. Why? Simple drum track and I'm trying to learn to play it. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Two Against Nature- Steely Dan. Possibly the best produced album I've ever heard. Maybe even bordering on over-produced. | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @brettmcee said:"If you are proud of that kind of excess you probably don’t really care about ‘the music’ or ‘the sound’ anymore"You could say that about almost anyone else who spent more money than you did right?In other words, you say six grand ... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @vinny55 : You’ve kind of got all tangled up in my comments and seem to have misunderstood them all. I’m playing devils advocate here. I’m an audiophile by pure kismet. I have a decent older system that I was given. At my cabin I routinely enjoy a... |
