| Most beautifull turntables today.... This picture doesn't do it justice -- I'll have to brush off the digital camera for that ... but the Origin Live Sovereign is gorgeous for such a compact unit:http://www.turntable-kits.com/sovereign-turntable.htmFor something more massive, the Ter... | |
| What is the test of time? Going back to my example, I may have made an error since I compared 13 year olds in the past with folks a whole lot older than that today. If a bunch of 13 year olds were put in a room today and they listened to the Monkeys and the Beatles, I bet ... | |
| What is the test of time? Maybe it has to do with whether critics still like it after a hundred years?? Beethoven is still good. Coltrane will likely still be good. Will critics still even care about some of the very good music well received today?Or,if it's about people l... | |
| speaker break in time or ? Lake, since speakers are mechanical, it certainly seems reasonable to expect some break in time. I believe you're correct that the first 50 hours leads to more of a difference than the next 50 since the old law of diminishing returns seems to be a... | |
| Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon? Nrchy, there's other people's experience. I always try first to learn from that, but it never seems to work ;-) | |
| Searching Virtual Systems Chadnliz, that's true -- especially the up-grade part ;-)All the posts here and all the virtual systems are also subjective, but I find them useful. A way to search for systems that meet certain criteria could help start someone down a path. You a... | |
| Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon? I'm cracking up from reading these posts. It goes to show that you can have a great time without stomping on someone! Maybe we just figured that out here.But don't rave about Bose or A/B testing ;-) | |
| CD Jewel cases - Over 20 years and no improvement Sorry Audiobugged, I .. uh .. can't seem to locate any unopened cd's right now. You know, I was thinking about switching to all vinyl; maybe I'll go that route so no need to look in your mailbox for any cd's from me ;-) LOL at your post! | |
| Searching Virtual Systems Tpsonic, certainly different folks have different tastes. I suspect a discussion with a system owner (even via email) could lead to a discussion of those tastes and the characteristics of the system. It also pays to cross-reference with actual exp... | |
| CD Jewel cases - Over 20 years and no improvement Tvad, I just got back to this thread. Thanks for the tip. Ditto Audiobugged. I'll have to go buy a cd just to try it out! | |
| CD Jewel cases - Over 20 years and no improvement You're right! They are very delicate and break regularly. Like most packaging though, it never changes until someone invents a cheaper and/or better alternative -- and I bet those new approaches are often conceived by independent inventors. Rememb... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? Tafka steve, remind me not to invite you over -- you seem to have some pretty bad luck ;-)I have blown my woofers (big Montana WAS 15") twice! Once was because straight dc went into them (there are no caps in my signal path) when a power relay wen... | |
| transparency vs. detailed From reading some of these definitions, if transparency exists then all other factors exist. If a transparent system allows you to feel like you are listening to the original sounds, then detail, musicality, soundstage and all we hold dear would a... | |
| beveridge speakers are coming back What are the shortcomings that are being worked out? | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp Perfectionist, if memory serves, decibles were defined to approximate the threshold of the average person's ability to hear a difference in sound pressure levels. The difference, for example, between 70.0 and 70.5 db cannot generally be perceived ... |
