| Should Audiogon forum dealers be held to a different standard? Perhaps the YMMV disclaimer should be imprinted on all posts here? What falls between the cracks of what you propose aren't the dealers, who properly identify themselves, and who should have valuable knowledge given their exposures to multiple pro... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Unless the manufacturer offers that exact model still being made in Denmark, the dealer had no choice as to the country of origin. Perhaps he will swap his demo for your new ones, and that way be more representative of current production while mak... | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? When I was in the retail jewelry business, margins percentagewise were greater on the cheaper items, with markups as little as 5% on the higher ones - and this was paying mall rents. When gold doubled in price, existing jewelry was suddenly worth ... | |

| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Brad Mehldau = zzzzzz. Kenny G = barf. Most screaming singer metal "music" = aargh. Rap "music" = wtf? Most country music = yawn. Post 461 Clapton studio albums = why? Post Who Are You? Who = again, why? Paul McCartney solo albums after Ram = r... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects Every time I see a comment from someone 100% sure that nobody can hear a difference between burned in and brand new cables, I am reminded of those surveys where many couldn't tell the difference between 128 kbps MP3s and 24 / 96 kHz flac (or wavs)... | |
| Is HDtracks really selling you Hi-Rez music? The MFSL SACD version of Abraxas is the best I've heard. | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread On a good night, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. John Cipollina, Jerry Garcia and Jorma Kaukonen. Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson. Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan. Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Shawn Lane, Steve Morse. | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Further, playing music to someone that they are unfamiliar with on a system that either isn't theirs or doesn't sonically resemble theirs under the provisions of 'blind testing is absolute' is a waste of time. Their innate framework for identifyin... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? You can have your own opinions but you/we should never be allowed to cross the line of civilized discourse and take the 'I disagree with you as my experience was different' position into an attack on the intelligence of the poster disagreed with. ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing The inherent flaw of any sort of blindfolded A/B testing is when there's unfamiliarity of the test subjects with the items being tested. For example - a blind taste test of Coke vs Pepsi is adversely affected if the test takers aren't cola drinker... | |
| Audio nonsense oldhvymec I agree with you 100% Not every solution neatly appears when there's a problem but when the timing's just right, it's amazing what works. Sometimes the solutions are ahead of their time, or simply not yet known by those who can benefit... | |
| Improving Comcast modem signal Be warned that cable modems are soon to be useless - Verizon is now pushing a white cubed wireless 5G device to feed signals to everything with no cables at all. If this works, and I have no doubt that it does, we luddites using pcs and flip phone... | |

| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? Just about anything, taken out of context, is over-rated decades after it was state of the art. We went from window fans to air conditioning, black & white TV to color and from launching a dog into space to man walking on the moon during that ... |
