| CD's or Vinyl? @mylogic , Thanks indeed for the suggestions, I'll try to get deeper into it. My main concern with the Pioneer deck now is not the fails in ff and rev (which one can still tolerate), the problem is in the playback, the sound is dull with a very n... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? PS I just auditioned two well-recorded cassettes on the (properly functioning) Nakamichi deck, Thelonious Monk XDR on Blue Note and I am still listening to Pat Metheny's Secret Story, comparing to the CD version via streaming on Tidal. Streaming ... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? @mylogic, I agree that cassettes are good alternatives to LPs. The only problem I face now is the maintenance/repair of type decks (also that of cassettes). The Pioneer CT-F1250 that I bought used is a completely wonderful deck, in both, the repr... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? @mylogic , I like your remark to "live with imperfections" (I am often envious of a stamp whom I see in the street). The less we depend on our environment, the better for us. Though, if the windscreen of your car has too much of dirt, you won't be... | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? @erik_squires, The comparison with Bose is quite appropriate to me. It is sad that this kind of commercialization/marketing works in practice, as it lowers the audiophile SQ bar. Imagine if all the producers will convert to Boses or current Focal... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? @mylogic , If the cracks, dust cleaning and demagnetizing LPs does not bother you and you can completely concentrate during 20 minutes of listening, and if you have a super TT and really well-recorded LPs, then you will have an advantage in liste... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? And not only because of the SQ... changing from one side to another every 20 minutes, no thanks... It's true that a few very well recorded LPs may sound more realistic than the corresponding CDs, but this is not a typical situation at all. | |
| CD's or Vinyl? Without any hesitation, CD. | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? JM Lab Focal was a decent speaker producer long time ago. Later it got too commercial. I recently auditioned a few their latest Utopia speakers. Not only they did not impress me but their artificial bright sound reproduction was quite disappointin... | |
| EveAnna has sold her biz Apparently this changes won't affect too much the production. I met EveAnna about 25 years ago in Chino she was very kind. My more recent email communication with her was okay, though I had an impression that she was like another person. | |
| What's ideal size for a listening room? The bigger is the room, the better, just as simple as that. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic , I (can) listen to classical rock, jazz, blues (except most tunes by John Lee Hooker) and classical music (except some operas). I listen with passion Emerson, Lake & Palmer, early Genesis (with Peter Gabriel), King Crimson, Led Zeppe... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic Do more people hate certain recording artists than fans who actually love them You cannot know that. I don't care too much as I know that many things that I like most of the other people do not like, and not only issues related to ... | |

| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Hey, it to be easier to answer if you would ask to which artists I can listen to :) |
