| God, I hate to ask this… @williamjohnston I am saddened to hear of your illness. My wife has been in a similar position with Stage IV Breast Cancer for the past year and a half. She has been remarkably positive about making the most of life while she can. It sounds like... | |
| The law of diminshing returns? Thanks. I find the bank account is diminished long before the returns. | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. @yogiboy Surely, calling people "nit-wits" is being abusive towards other members as quoted in the reasons for removing secretguy’s post. | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. As an outsider, I find it ironic that removal of @Secretguy’s original post as being political in itself says quite a lot about the current state of your country. You guys have got very thin skins. | |
| HiFi laundry Thanks for the answers, guys. Just to be clear, I am not thinking of giving up digital altogether. I couldn't do that because of the way the vinyl signal is processed digitally. I'd be keeping the capability to play my local music FLAC files (thre... | |
| Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile? @sns You’re right that it isn’t a beauty contest. Yet, every picture tells a story. @jhills There appears to be a limit to how many photos can be loaded at any one time. I find completing the virtual system to be a useful exercise. It... | |
| They should charge more for it… @pindac Thanks for that. Fascinating story. WB are clearly a cut above many other manufacturers. I’ll pay more attention to them in future. A whole system approach rather than attacking one component at a time like say Linn sounds an ambitious ... | |
| They should charge more for it… @ghdprentice Diminishing returns can’t possibly apply in this context, anyway. Sound quality is by definition qualitative not quantitative. It is meaningless to say that one product sounds twice as good as another or for that matter any numeric... | |
| They should charge more for it… @mahler123 I don’t think Wilson-Benesche got government funding for development of the extremely expensive turntable. It helped them get their business off the ground when they were starting out with more modest products. | |
| Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile? @viridian You make a good point about posters with a wider range of experience of hifi in say retailing. There’s nothing to stop anyone putting these things in the system details or comments if they wish. Nevertheless, it is extremely helpful t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yes - 90125 Yes - Big Generator Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly | |
| Are you hearing the instruments or the music? @tcutter This is one of the interesting threads that has attracted me to this place. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding you, but I see them as attempting to explore what it is we like about listening to music - the visceral experience of... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? @saugertiesbob Your choice, of course. Whichever way you chose to enjoy music is fine by me. Although I am a little saddened that you’re missing out on so much of the pleasure. But why the need to present such an over the top and one sided just... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? @rbstehno I did the same, but came to regret it. I am back into vinyl again now and have never been happier listening to music. The truth is we need both digital and vinyl to get the most out of it. They both have their pros and cons and comple... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? Man cannot live by digital alone. I tried for five years and failed. Now it makes up only a small percentage of my listening. So, if you’re putting that gun to my head, I choose vinyl. |
