| Fort Wayne, IN bwguy, I saw that you responded and suggested lunch but now I can't find your post. I thought there was a way to send personal messages through this forum but I can't figure out how to do it and I don't see a way to connect without some personal... | |
| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? I have a tabletop in my listening room that needed something on it, so I grabbed a bunch of my old 8 tracks and scatted them on the table. Some think it looks cluttered so that's what I call it, a "clutter of 8 tracks"😉. | |
| Where do you want your system to go when you go? I don't know anyone who wants it, few who appreciate it. It seems that must people think it's an odd hobby like collecting common objects (like forks?). So, I expect it will end up in the local landfill. I'll be dead so I won't care. Until the... | |
| Sibilance You had me at Some recordings I hear it, sometimes I don’tMC's comment above is a little cryptic to me. If you hear it on some recordings and not on others wouldn't that mean it is in the recording? If it was something in your system wouldn't y... | |
| stereo review magazine jumia, What is IAR? Ahh, International Audio Review. The best audio publication I ever read. J. Peter Moncrieff was a genius and I learned more about audio from him than anyone. He not only reviewed equipment but explained why it sounded like... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) I have been using a Nitty-Gritty machine since they hit the market in the early 80's and it was way better than using a Discwasher brush alone. I noticed that the NG brush left longitudinal scratches on the records that the stylus apparently does... | |

| Another new music room construction discussion... Scowler1, I've been doing some reading on something called the Haas effect. It has to do with the relationship between time delay between two speakers and volume to compensate with 10 milliseconds (ms) being a peak for the effect. Since sound tr... | |
| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... Don't smoke cheap tobacco or weed. No smoking at all is best, BUT if you must... Cheap is NO GOOD. Booze, what can I say. I don't drink BUT if I did, no cheap stuff.. A "single" Single malt maybe once every couple of years.. You're no dam fun! | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. I'm constantly reminded of a song lyric by Simon and Garfunkel in the song The Boxer on the Bridge Over Troubled Waters LP, "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" . I find this to be quite true and you can substitute any of t... | |

| Does Age Matter? 74 and vinyl. I had my affair with CD's when my phono preamp died in 86 and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I bought a CD player and started buying CD's. After several years I found a new phono preamp that I could afford and sounded prett... | |

| Acoustics and reverberation time All of you guys seem to know a lot more about this subject than I do, so let me tell you about my experience and you can ignore it if you want to. I am on my forth listening room in 40 years with the first two being quite small, the third much bi... | |
| Fort Wayne, IN I'm old (74) but still have good hearing. I used to be involved in a causal audio group in Ft Wayne in the 80s, but lost track of everyone. I still have my old system and it sounds as good as ever at least to me. What I've done in recent years ... |
