| Reviews with all double blind testing? What seems to be beyond audiophiles is that the only criteria of blind testing is that the participant has no information but the presented experience. Those who think blind testing is conceptually flawed have to answer a question: If what is desi... | |
| car stereo automobile sound system Nak makes the best cd head unit I've heard, specifically the 45z, but dealers are difficult to find, and units are known to be temperamental and at least for the 45z range. The error correction is bad, if it exists at all (I don't know) -CDs have ... | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? 1 to ask what kind of car they should buy.10 to feel victimized by people who are happy with sunlight.100 to feel morally superior to those who use sunlight.1000 to feel mentally superior to those who use sunlight. | |

| Unintended lyrics revved up like a duece...Duece = type of hotrod. That's my understanding, anyway.Finding out it isn't "wrapped up in a douche" was more distressing than when my Santa bubble was burst. Its a cold world. | |
| How do you deal with vibration? "To those who doubt the above rambling, fine, simply move on. Your comments are not necessary here, we know you exist and respect your opinion."I spotted an incorrect item in your post, but okay. This is audiogon, not a place for disagreement. | |

| Interconnects: a conductor is a conductor, right? Common sense says that electrons are like gas, and the hose you use to fill up your car...that's the cable. So don't bother me with your measurements, hippie.-An Audio Critic | |
| Manufactured Cds -- difference in brand names? CDP error correction is now good enough for people to buy used CDs with little risk. Those of us with "vintage" players are in another boat, ime. | |
| Best of Audiogon Members He didn't specify a model, I am sure assuming my budget was more than it was, but after inquiring about Blue Circle, which had buzz at the time, he basically scoffed and later mentioned Counterpoint. With little else to go on, other than mentally ... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? Against my better judgment to re-generate this thread, I am compelled to state that Twl does have a good point regarding one post I made, which is about my consumer experience with Star Sound. While it was made out of frustration from re-experienc... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? Stehno, my joke in the “why I love digital” thread was a contrast between the time investment required for analog and the instant gratification character of digital culture. I could not have imagined, in a thread where people were making fun of th... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? Hi Twl, I already understood your point about the mag's motivation. No blame, but it would be great if you understood my post."You are the one with the apparent "ulterior motives".""At least we make ourselves publically known on this forum as reps... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? I wanted to post this, but do not have the time to read Twl's post and to address Stehno's issues ( I will later). In my last post I was not looking for a debate with Twl's points (I liked his post), I just wanted to address comprehension of the a... |
