| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen For oud, pick up some Anouar Brahim on ECM. I very much enjoy his "Le pas du chat noir" release. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Well over 7 years ago I answered this post and I'm still rockin' the '03 Ford F-250 V10 pickup. (Although I listed the wrong model year back then, as it was, and still is, an '03, not '93. Oy!) | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? Ive had a music bug since the age of 10, but it took 40 more years after that to catch the audio bug.Id not been exposed to any hi-fi gear in my life so never knew what I was missing. That is, until in 2005 when my low/mid-fi CD player died so b... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? +1 on the Beatles Tostados, good call. I really like all of their covers on their first four albums. Great selections and very well performed. Just spun the monos last night - terrific stuff. | |
| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS 77 - wish i had a dollar for every time i've heard that. What a dumbass reply! Proves the manager is deaf as well. | |
| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS Agree OP. I normally only go to smaller venues any more for this reason. Otherwise, really is a waste of time. Even most medium-sized venues sound like crap. Combination of poor acoustics and deaf people running the sound boards. Very frustrating.... | |
| Isolation for DAC/Class D Power Amp ... only remaining issue is air borne vibrations from the the music itself.Not necessarily. How about vibration generated within each device? Some (as me) believe it requires a path for escape.You may wish to read about this theory and proposed so... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Csontos - you just don't get it. Not going to waste any more of my time dealing with your skewed perspective. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Csontos - You think pre-CD era stores offered as much information and selections as today's Amazon, AllMusic, band web sites, YouTube, A'gon, E-Bay, etc.? They did not. They could not. You cannot be serious. They were limited to owner's budget, of... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Hearing crap 'back in the day' and hearing it now brings you to the same conclusions. There's no mystery. We have plenty of examples from way back when too.Agree! There was tons of crap back then as well. Always has been loads of crap, always will... | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? I am always mystified by inexcusably bad live soundAgree! Many o' times I'd been tempted to bonk the guy running the board on the head with a longneck brew and take control myself. I swear these guys are deaf sometimes. | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? Thanks Bo1972! Will check it out. | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? From showrooms to rooms at shows to rooms in homes, I've yet to prefer the sound of any system with subs. That said, there is one exception. One being: my room. But I have two, worked at placement, dialed them in carefully for augmentation only, a... | |
| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 Along the lines of Shakey's post ... Having not owned either the Merlins or Vandys, but hearing several models of both, I must say that I've enjoyed each of the Merlins (two floor stander models and one standmount); and disliked each of the Vandys... | |
| how much to pay for this sensational setup? Agree with Elizabeth. By purchasing with the home you are saving the seller a lot of effort and headache. If I were in the seller's position and did not wish to put forth much effort selling each piece, I'd settle for 1/4 retail. |
