| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... @danielduryea Thanks for writing my biography. A simpler explanation is many people bereft of good or even acceptable audio choose the Vette or the fifth-wheel or the upgraded tooth whitening instead. Quality audio can be expensive and it also c... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? @ jyadlon cool you mentioned The Electric Pea Shooter. I have 'Love the Way You Roll' signed by the Lady herself and Miss Vicki Bell that I bought after being totally blown away by them 5 minutes before. Her hilariously self-aware cover of Will... | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? If I want to get a feel for a systems overall reach and capability while still listening to real music I find a good pressing of the eponymous Rickie Lee Jones essential. The parts where Mr. Scott and the horn section are stretching out are brill... | |
| High Compliance Cart on Heavier Arm @andy8400 that is very cool. I too have the Shure record, I think I got it along with my first V-15. I remember the V-15 was one of very few carts that would make it to the top level tracking test. If it didn't it was probably the arm or table ... | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... Wow, some really interesting comments here and surprisingly many are in reference to the original post. Following are my takeaways;1. Far too many people have crap audio in their lives2. Many with crap audio think it's just fine, for whatever rea... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? WHY WOULD THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ACTIVELY SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SOUND QUALITY OF MUSIC???!!! I think a fairer question might be would the music industry limit the absolute quality of sound in order to make that same sound APPEAR to be of high... | |
| Vinyl collection, now what? @mijostyn No doubt the Clearaudio would be lovely. I used one of their phono pre-amps for years and was quite happy. I mentioned Bryston since @cleeid is using Bryston now. I have been archiving my collection for years, mostly 24/192 and some 2... | |
| Any electronic geniuses here? Again, sincere thanks to all who responded. I have opened all the included links and will go over each. As I see we are drifting toward the inevitable opinion pieces it's time for me to unfollow. BFN | |
| Any electronic geniuses here? Thanks everyone for all the great info and advice. I am looking for a 10:1 SUT so it looks like load shouldn't be unmanageable from what I've read here. Anyone familiar with the Bryston TF-2? | |
| Vinyl collection, now what? @hleeid I am betting Bryston could take very good care of you in that area. | |
| Tonearm options for VPI tables? Thanks cleeds, great to know. I truly love listening to a well setup uni-pivot. But the technical side of me really hates working on them. I often thought a TNT type setup would be grand (many 'grand') but I was more curious about the Classic si... | |
| The meaning of “Remastered” Digital recording and digital editing are incredibly easy and cheap compared to the ’old way’. This is why it is so popular. Sure you get the usual spin about ’sound quality’ but cheap and easy are the cornerstone benefits. Producing a good qualit... | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? 77Jovian, so glad you mentioned Lydia Pence. Man, when she sang "I Just Want to Make Love to You" I damn well believed her. If you mentioned Lydia you will probably love Genya Ravan/Goldie Zelkowitz. Two very different performers but Cold Blood a... | |
| Tonearm options for VPI tables? Questions for @cleed and @frogman.Cleed, have you ever heard of Harry selling a blank (armless) Classic or are you referring more to the other tables in the line?Frogman, what table did you have the ET on? I had one on a Sota for years. Not that... | |
| If you could buy any system, regardless of price, what would it be? That is a mean nasty question and only someone who is described with a word ending in 'path would ask it. Just kidding, but I am sure every long term music lover here knows what I mean. ElliotB has the right idea, buy music! I would play LPs on... |
