| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Not looking at others' systems seems somewhat shortsighted. It's interesting to see set-ups and gear and get some ideas for both. Plus, sometimes I'm just curious as to what others are using as in-person dynamics with other audiophiles is rare ind... | |
| ??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ??? @dill Truthfully, I was wondering the same thing. But I guess it does draw attention to the idea that a question is being posed. | |
| ??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ??? @jayctoy out of curiosity, what were the demographics of those attendees? | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @bottomzone interesting. I'm a huge fan of the yellow jackets as well. Dane Alderson is a proficient in musical basis and yet Jimmy really brought a lot of musicality to the group. Without him they really aren't the same band. I still love seeing... | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI I just had a long conversation with claude.ai about my system, asking it for advice for weaknesses and upgrade paths. Surprisingly, it told me to chill. That what I had was good and, in essence, the only weak link was me being unsatisfied. When I ... | |
| 1990 Radio Shack catalog @grinnell Sweet. Mr. Decker is about 90 minutes north of me; I auditioned some of his amps a few years back and may go there again. Before the Schiit I ran a Line Magnetic 519 which I think was a bit too much. Thanks for the recommendations. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @lordmelton buddy, it's an ironic lyric. It parodies what people said back then about the vietnamese. That's not the speaker talking that's a speaker reflecting what Society says. You really thinks Springsteen would say yellowman? Really? | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Re: REO - no, their music and lyrics are not exactly the deepest (even so.ething as catchy as "One Lonely Night" repackaged a well worn trope in shiny new paper) but they produced some Hella catchy tunes thatre still anthemic 40 years later. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Bruce hasn't been negative, he's been realistic. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I believe that Slade's Christmas song is still one of the most heavily played each year in the uk. And yet it never made it across the pond to the us. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I received my copy of of Antonio Jobim's bossa nova album Wave the other day from discogs. The 1967 Pitman pressing in pretty good condition sonically and materially. Amazingly surprised by just how rich and deep the sound stages on this album mus... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @gdaddy1 are you kidding? He was born into a working class circumstance in New Jersey for God’s sake. And he busted his ass as a musician from the time he could play. I mean, it’s not Stanley Kowalski hauling meat up the stairs laborer, but that’... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? @larsman my point exactly. The market for any print magazine is rapidly shrinking, much less very fine focused and genre specific magazines. I’m surprised you’re still 12,000 or some odd subscribers at this stage. Me included of course. To addre... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mahgister that’s a good call on how it tastes are required by circumstance and sometimes by accident. As much as anyone on this post reviles a particular artist or genre, we know we all have certain artists and taste that most others would just c... | |
| What is your scariest moment in High End audio? @bjesien nice. |
