| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? You don't see a lot of Aerial Acoustics out there. I'll never sell mine. | |
| Amp "timing" ? I have read about ’speed’ and ’timing’ in regard to components and could not get my head around what that meant. Probably neither are very good terms.@jctf said:"I have heard it myself when trying various tubes."I’m a new audiophile with limited e... | |
| Will technology make records obsolete one day? Agreed. But the same could be said of CDs to a certain extent. I don’t think we’re any less likely to be able to get a CD player as a turntable.An analogy: I’m into photography. I shoot film and digital. Usually make a physical print of any digita... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? I'll go one deeper. I remember something that Dietrich Bonhoeffer (one of my absolute heroes) said:"Where [the] discipline of the tongue is practiced right from the beginning, each individual will make a matchless discovery. He will be able to cea... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @mental : I have Get Lucky on CD not vinyl. As far as I know there is only one release of that CD. DR database has it at an average DR of 10, which is not great for a Knopfler production but still pretty good sounding.Right now listening to Blue M... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? elizabeth said:"I’m reporting you, celander for saying "Folks will report anything". "I’m reporting elizabeth for accusing celander of saying "Folks will report anything". I find the word "folks" to be very offensive. Calling people "folks" is a m... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! Yes, more money and equipment will fix not being moved by music just like it fixes all other problems. | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? @bdp24 : "Of course, if you rely on the radio to know of them they have you right where they want you ;-) ."The operative word is 'relied'.....past tense. When you are 13 and living in the suburbs or country all there was was the radio. If you wa... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Gary Clark, Jr. - Blak and Blu. HD Tracks.Room rattling guitar rock, creamy smooth retro R&B, hip hop, blues. All great. All on one album. This young man's got more talent than any young musician I can think of. His second album is good too. P... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! Agree with leemaze. And I think this relates to mood. Sometimes you have to be in the mood in order to be moved. Sometimes you have to have the right setting to be in the mood.Others have recommended chemicals. I've never used the chemical they we... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion Agree. No one is debating the fact that we have two ears. | |
| Speaker With Least Room Interaction I don't fully understand the bass port thing and I don't see the big passive radiators in speakers that much anymore.Having said that, the experience I had as a new audiophile with a pair of fairly nice speakers that were given to me was the oppos... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? I've been listening for a couple of hours to several favorite and familiar CDs now and can say "laid back" and "warm" seem to be the right terms. I can confirm that the highs are less stringent as well. There is nothing that I'm hearing that I don... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? Okay, I couldn't wait. Got them installed in the V1 and V2 positions.I can tell a difference immediately. The first thought in my head was "laid back". Maybe this is what people mean by 'warm'. And this might be impossible but the music sounds a l... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @rodman99999 : The tubes are here and they do look pristine. Testing begins now.Right now I'm listening to the CD I will use for a reference with the original tubes.Couple of questions:Obviously I will unplug the unit before opening it but how lon... |
