| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? You can calculate the speed of light to a good degree of accuracy using a microwave and a few mini marshmallows. | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? @jonwolfpell the auto engine stop can be turned on/off. Using it does no harm to the car since the entire starting system has been beefed up to handle it. For me smart phones epitomize how humans now interact with appliances. More features than... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? If you've been trying for 30 years and you just don't get, then why keep trying. It's not like anything going to change. | |
| It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! One of the reasons I started this thread was because I am incredibly jealous of some of the concert that some people have attended. But then again, someone had to have seen The Police at CBGBs. I admire the efforts some have made to remember the... | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse Are you being honest in the title of this thread? Don't let the nattering nabobs of negativism deter you. Btw, I drove18 hours to get my Spendor 9/1s. A similar vintage loudspeaker. | |
| The end of physical media is neigh Part of the reason I haven't added music streaming is the result of my experience with movie streaming. No matter how many subscriptions you have you'll never have access to everything you want. And that's assuming you're willing to take the tim... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Preference is personal and there is no right or wrong, only well formed and informed. That said consider how jazz would have evolved if either musician hadn't existed. Also consider the family tree of musicians that each produced. Miles Davis c... | |

| System assessment... Nobody on the board can tell you how your system sounds in your room and if it works for you. All the suggestion to change components may or may not accomplish what you are looking for, which to be honest, is somewhat vague. Why do you want to s... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? Speaking in generalities, the differences between most audiophile components are subtle. Listeners can a make a big deal about those differences, but they are still subtle. Good sound doesn't have to be very expensive. Great sound is a differen... | |
| another one passes. Pete Sinfield died. He was a founding member of King Crimson and was responsible for their lyrics and album artwork. He later went on to write hits for Leo Sayer, Cher and Celine Dion. He also produced the first Roxy Music album. | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... The "Hot For Teacher" intro has some controversy surrounding it. It's AVH on electronic drums and possibly the exhaust sound of one of EVH's Italian sports car at the very beginning. The drum part is lifted/inspired by a piece by Billy Cobham. ... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? A good friend of mine knew I was into audio and he asked my about his system. He was using Bose 301 loudspeakers and I told him he could do better. Now he loves music as much as I do and he's also a good guitar player. In his opinion the Bose l... | |
| Who knew? @daveyf My turntable, an Allen Perkins designed Immedia, using high mass. It's around 50-60 pounds and I do use isolation pads and a thick carbon fiber shelf beneath it. Alternatively, Rega goes in a different direction believing light weight, ... |
