| Make way for the future.... Years ago, I got a great deal of pleasure using a Linn Klassik with a pair of Spica TC-50s. Did it sound like my current system with separate components, including the much larger Maggies and much better Oppo? No but during the late 90s and 00s, i... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? 1-Most of us have pieces of music we've listened to hundreds of times if not more. An example for me would be Abbey Road. A test of systems (or components in a system not my own) playing it to me would still be useless as my reference is my own sy... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? "I saw the CSNY concert at the Hollywood Bowl that Joni Mitchell opened and that started Joni's and Graham's long-running romance?"They began their relationship in 1968 and it ended in 1970 around the time Deja Vu came out so in the interest of ac... | |
| CD player reliability.... good and bad. Back in the day, some found that inexpensive DVD players had better sound playing cds and lasted longer than inexpensive CD players. That said, they still require periodic dusting and lens cleaning no matter what the price. | |
| Why is there so much separation between the professional audio and audiophile worlds? Anyone that says all digital sucks has clearly never heard a decent SACD played on even a moderate system, among other possibilities. | |

| Why is there so much separation between the professional audio and audiophile worlds? The overlooked question from this article is why don't both disciplines - pro vs public, jointly find advancements in sound reproduction that would benefit everyone? At one time, among other studios, Atlantic Records had a NYC studio full of Mark ... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Make equipment changes, cable changes, room treatment changes, etc one at a time and allow yourself time between them to fully experience what they may or may not have wrought. All changes are not necessarily good ones, which is why other poster's... | |
| Wow, $10k+ cables Two questions: can you really hear a positive difference in your system from it and can you afford it? If your answer to both are firm yesses, then enjoy it. If you "think you might hear something different" and your credit cars are close to being... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? My primary goal, from archaic GE turntable/radio combination to current OPPO/Maggie system is that the equipment is a tool that delivers music. I have $ tens of thousands more tied up in media that can become music than in the equipment itself. Ye... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. If they were $100 instead of $1695 there'd be less derision as more people would buy in at that price just to see if they heard any improvements. But, like Mercedes Benz discovered when they 1st came to the US priced reasonably but failing to sell... | |
| Schiit order issue - anyone receiving shipments? Nothing is moving quickly through the US Postal System and even UPS and Fed Ex are still slow having been buried during the holidays and with Covid-19 restrictions. Even if Schitt's shipping was next day, you might still be waiting longer than usual. | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Acoustic piano has always sounded more natural to my ears on vinyl than on cd, although I foolishly pulled the trigger and dumped all of my vinyl and turntable before I realized the difference. I jumped mainly due to surface noises, even on ECM vi... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Back in the early cd days, I was anxious to replace my vinyl with the perfect sound forever, zero surface noise discs that were promised. Too anxious, as I dumped well over a thousand albums (some that have never come out on cd), and my turntable ... | |
| Opening Record Store I don’t understand why you’d need to pay anything.If you're changing the name, there will be no followthrough whether you pay him or not.Does he own the building? If so then pay him rent. If he doesn’t, cut a deal with the real owner of it. Then y... |
