| Was I Expecting Too Much How do you demo a turntable for sound quality? Too many variables. Were you planning on getting a side by side demonstration into a reference system? A few years ago a successful dealer told me that audiophile customers were a PITA. They wante... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... Thank you Mahler123 for your comments on this subject. Good ideas well presented. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? It's also possible for a manufacturer to under price a product. If someone were to manufacture a power amplifier and sell it for a profit at $1,500 no audiophile putting together an upscale system would buy it, regardless of how it sounds. Too m... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... The OP specifically stated that where he sat was the best seats in the house. That assertion is very open to debate. Just as an aside, when you go to the cinema do you sit in the front row? | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... The best sounding seats really depends on the hall design. The classic shoebox hall is generally considered the best sounding, but its limited seating capacity is a problem for new construction projects. The better sounding seats in a shoebox ar... | |
| What if Jeff Beck was a drummer? Most musicians can actually play several instruments at a fairly high level. If you spend your life making music then you can play the drums. Same for piano or guitar and who doesn't think they can play the bass. It's just that there are other ... | |

| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? I suspect the majority of audiophiles put together a system and run it until it breaks or some major life change intervenes. The people who post on sites like these with their constant equipment changing are probably in the minority of audiophile... | |
| Good old days As an experiment convert your system to a mono setup. See if you like it any better. | |
| Good old days Use some of the discipline you mustered when getting your Masters and PhD and train your mind to enjoy the music and the sound. Music can sound truly beautiful and it can also just be beautiful, but you already know that. Good luck. | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. The OP is confused. He doesn’t understand how to pair components. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Why so serious? Everything in moderation. | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... Whether the "Layla" story is true, I don't know, but it's been repeated many, many times. The Delta Lady gives a detailed account in her autobiography. Personally, I believe her. A related story is that she broke off her relationship with Gordo... |
