| Gripped By Upgrade Fever Thanks for all the good advice, everyone. I appreciate the good intentions. I’m not doing anything anytime soon. It’s just that the LS50s have given me a sense of what’s possible. Now that I know, I want more! (I’m sure everyone reading any of the... | |
| Stirring Up Trouble MC, do you believe that if you cite a YouTube video in one of your over 8,000 posts, that someone who reads that post will attach enough importance to it that he will not only watch the video in its entirety but with enough concentration to rememb... | |
| Stirring Up Trouble cd84, not sure what TLTR means but I already apologized for the length. No one is holding a gun to your head. | |
| Stirring Up Trouble I’m not quite sure why, when discussing Alan Watts, everyone keeps referring to YouTube videos instead of his writing. | |
| Stirring Up Trouble Mijostyn—”That’s an odd comment about a post endorsing heroin use from a user who claims to be a medical doctor.”Can that be me that you’re talking about? The heroin track (pun intended) that has developed here has taken me completely by surprise.... | |
| Stirring Up Trouble If MC says that I’m close to speaking the truth as expounded by a genius level zen master, is that a good thing?On first cut, this Watts guy is interesting. Will have to do a little more reading before I can say anything intelligent. But I confess... | |
| Stirring Up Trouble Of course, heroin is a scourge and while it’s theoretically possible to just dabble, it’s not a smart thing to do. But the upside can’t be ignored. Watch Trainspotting, which portrays the scourgey part of the scourge as painfully as any movie I kn... | |
| Interconnects—Just a thought. I confess that while I had a very small slice of audio information to impart, my main goal was to further edify this already well educated crowd The last man to know everything was a British polynath named Thomas Young (1773-1829). He found a fla... | |
| iPhone to NAD 316 Whatever I do, I’m not especially concerned with audio quality. I wouldn’t be using my phone as a source if I was. I’m not familiar with AirPlay. But I assume it will involve hooking up some sort of signal receiver at the amp end of the equation. ... | |
| Learning To Listen It happened! My first time! But it was over so fast. Anyway, I borrowed my father’s car, picked up Mary Jane, and parked up on Cobb’s Hill. Then. . . No, no, not that story. The imaging story. So I found two guys out on the interwebs who, without ... | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics And the OP makes his final statement:When I first got my new (used) LS50s, I plunked them down on the stands where the old speakers used to stand. They sounded great. Since then I’ve tried every tweak possible including moving them 1/4 inch in eve... | |
| Learning To Listen A PhD thesis that seems right on point. Note that in the abstract, of all places, the author notes that he’ll be using “vector base amplitude planning” so it may be a slog.http://lib.tkk.fi/Diss/2001/isbn9512255324/isbn9512255324.pdf | |
| Learning To Listen My apologies. That article is essentially a great introductory paragraph. Just when you think, “Aha! Now we’re going to get somewhere,” it’s over and they try to sell you speakers.” | |
