| smaller speakers for critical listening? @yogiboy, congratulations! Part of me wants to settle into some new speakers (and all of me wants life to return to normal so I can audition more), but I also admit that I enjoy the research. What will I do with all my time once I pick a pair of s... | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? Thanks everyone. Great and encouraging thoughts. djones51, I haven’t really thought much about active pro monitors. You’ve given me something new to think about!@yogiboy, Harbeth is one of the speaker lines I'm thinking about. I've heard the 30.1s... | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? Magnepan in 1982 at Take Five, New Haven, CT. | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it Also, no one's free speech is imperiled by questioning why this thread was posted in the *speakers* forum (unless it's a subtle bit of etymological fun). | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it First, I've been an active member on many forums (music, single malt, bbq, woodworking, and a few that need not be mentioned) and this forum is second only to the Phish forum for rudeness, arrogance, and self-centeredness. I love this place, and m... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. I've followed this story and so ... congratulations! You ended up with the money (for an aunt?), an amp, and a renewed appreciation for your patient wife! | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... Really engaging thread. I can't resist a few thoughts (and why should I? It's the internet). First, I strongly agree with the few who have pointed out that most of the systems out here are far beyond most people's means. The median household incom... | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? I'll drop a note to Sarah. She's been very helpful in the past. I don't want to sell the thing, just give it away to someone who wants it. I can drop it off at Goodwill or recycle it but I'm guessing it still has life in it if someone wants to do ... | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? I didn't have *that* many but I can relate. I might just have kept a hundred or so, mostly for the art work from "kind" traders. Once Archive came along, it made little audio sense to stick with tapes. Gone are the days .... | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? Nak DR-2. The PLAY button doesn't work, which is common for these decks that sit unused for years and year ... It should be fixable but, well, I gave away my boxes and boxes of Dead tapes ... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company Fishy, I say. | |
| Maggies to Tekton? I say this with genuine respect: you mentioned your divorce twice in this thread and it sounds like you're figuring out your world and your music anew. You have a new life and a new house (and new listening space) ... and it makes complete sense t... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. I'm sorry about the check but that's great news about the amp! I've owned Bryston amps and I'm not surprised. They're built like tanks, as you say. No reason for it to go into a landfill; it probably has twenty years left on it.Good luck to your w... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I've had both and I'm in agreement with the run of this thread: Qobuz an easy winner over Tidal, for sq as well as web interface. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. No need to apologize at all; I asked! I'm sorry that you've had such a time with all this. Despite all the criticism of UPS out here, I'm still surprised that they are proving so hard to work with. That's unacceptable. You are absolutely right to ... |
