objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
Hi mahgister.  Nice post.   Hope you are doing well!  Cheers.  
objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
@snilf Ah I see. I was thrown by your talking about the contrast one finds in forums like this between the appeal to the objective vs the subjective, and that you felt you were identifying a "crux" of the matter. My view is that this is not the... 
objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
@snilf   As somewhat of a philosophy fan myself... I think your initial post started with a bit of conceptual muddying. Right here: Do you fall on the side of the inviolability of subjective preference, or do you insist on objective facts in ... 
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
I generally try to sell locally (canuckaudiomart) but had a couple items not long ago that I figured would do better on Agon.  What a pain-in-the-*ss it was setting up an Agon listing vs canuckaudiomart (and as others say, they make it hard to com... 
The Audiophile's Wife
Didn't grannyring recently attend Axpona (with "the wife?") If so I'd love to read an entree about attending an audiophile show on TAW. It should be rich pickins'      
Fake Audiophiles

Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Excellent,  ghasley!   I'm sure my local dealer will get the o/baby in.  If/when I hear them I'll of course post my impressions here.

@ghasley    Still enjoying your o/babies?  Any change in your impressions over time?   Looks like the O/Baby will be shown in Munich.

  70seradylan Main competitors would of course be a matter of personal taste. I haven't heard the O/baby, but I would think if you generally like the Devore O series sound - big and rich - Harbeth naturally come to mind (perhaps certain classic... 
Thiel Owners
@tomthiel Seems even (the late) Art Dudley noticed the cabinetry skill in Thiel speakers. I was just reading his review of the Volti Audio Vittoria speakers in which Art stated:   The build quality of my review pair, finished in bosse cedar,... 
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
He is interesting and very dedicated to the helping out of people during their audio journey.   In a way that also seems to promulgate lots of nonsense.   
Local pick up only…
  I’ve sold quite a bit of my audio gear over the last couple of years - speakers, DACs, turntables etc. I always try to sell locally first (canuckaudiomart) saying local pick up preferred. I'll usually get a range of offers, many who want ship... 
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
Mikey was not impressed.(1118) Why Audio Trade Shows are LAME !! - YouTube Man that guy is hard to watch (for me).   He may be a swell guy, but the way he comes off, he basically typifies the caricature of the opinionated audiophile loudmouth. ... 
Amir and Blind Testing
  I just did a blind test between my Benchmark LA4 preamp and my Conrad Johnson premier 16LS2 tubed preamp. Blind testing can be a hassle so I indulge in it fairly rarely, but I've done a few over the years.  Fortunately the Benchmark preamp mad...
