| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @cd318 I had a lot of time for Keynes, I particularly liked his suggestion of burying bottles full of pound notes and letting folks dig them back out as a way of easing mass unemployment. Our brains are hardwired differently. The owner of the... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @daveyf nobody is condoning anything that is illegal. That would have been contrary to any emergency regulations that were swiftly put in place. Perhaps not by the letter, but at least in spirit. Judges are not amused by those antics. What I’m s... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley good to see some micro economic principles discussed, and usually people can agree on the logic as hand-waving and speculation is kept to a minimum. The politics of water are pretty ordinary - sensible economists have left the building..... | |

| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? Isn’t hi-fi simply short for high fidelity? If so, then what is mid-fi? Once that is sorted out, and should there be some meaningful discussion about mid-fi versus high end that is agreeable, then what about a discussion about hi-fi versus high ... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today @deludedaudiophile If they proved anything, they would publish in a respected journal. A dude by the name of Malcolm Omar Hawksford has generated a bunch of words on the subject. I understand that this current obsession is to do with something ... | |
| Gapless @clearthinker What is gapless playback? Normal CDs and CD players like we have been accustomed to. So gapless seems to be a useless technology No, it the only technology that everyone has ever used for CD playback. Until recently - some ... | |
| Gapless @clearthinker Normal CDs and CD players like we have been accustomed to. Some albums don’t have any gap/silence between tracks, like live recordings and some studio albums, but nevertheless the track is still known and displayed. Someone else can... | |
| Contact Enhancer Q45T When my wife came into the room she immediately said “I can hear it sounds very good”. Very good. What did wife think of the $135,000 system before the application of Q45T? | |
| Tuner choice @lynnj I’d appreciate it if you could provide your thoughts here on the Sansui TU-717 after you have had a sufficient listening honeymoon. Because it is supposed to be very good. So it is understandable that you may have high expectations. I kno... | |
