| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @snilf You have it exactly as I understand it. Under this formulation, development of one's taste may be problematic. What is in good taste to one is bad to another. Is there some objective definition of good taste, thus, good spirit? Also, in or... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Exactly, the freedom from desire. Interested in acoustic without the material need of audio equipment. In other words, the sound of nature. The ascetic is seeking maximum freedom, freed of desire one is absolutely free, at least as free as a mat... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Not sure the spirit N speaks of exists within any man, yet within an audiophile! Even the most pure of our desires, which is to enjoy music played at high sq level is unworthy of being placed at top of spirit hierarchy. This is the kind of phi... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Who's to judge who has spirit and who has not? And who will deny the non-spirited everything they desire? Pretty sure it'll be the ones with no spirit making these decisions. | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? I don't often use detail in my descriptions of equipment sq, rather I use resolution. Resolution is perhaps the most important criteria of what creates sense of live performers in room. Resolution takes into account things like imaging, sound stag... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I've done my part to elicit critiques and comparisons of 005. I never only read positive or negative reviews of any product I consider for purchase. Anecdotal evidence is replete in audio, deductive logic not worth much in cases where there ar... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? Money is often conflated as measure of happiness and worth. Money is how we keep score and value other's purchases, this is perhaps the one objective critique we have available to us. The level of pleasure another derives from their purchases ... | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? When first building systems many years ago, suffered much angst in the many failures. Certainly there were successes as well. This success/failure cycle repeated a number of times, rather manic depressive in my reaction. OCD was certainly in play ... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I'm interested in above question as well. I found some info here https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=150900.0 The Spatial M3's I heard the other night were powered by diy modded Prima Luna Dialogue Four I sold to present owner, he was... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? @nascimento1958 Not first issue of reliability I've seen with Takatsuki, part of reason I didn't go with them. Regardless of whether amp or tube at fault, I simply don't understand why so many of these tube manufacturers can't produce robust t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I've never considered return policies from overseas sellers as most efficient way to audition equipment. Between shipping, possible custom fees, time constraints, restocking fees, always sold my audition equipment. No surprising someone finds ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC That 005 wouldn't compare favorably with dac at whatever price is what I'm waiting to see. I'd honestly like to understand what it's deficiency or deficiencies may be, I'd likely be interested in purchasing dac that outperforms it. Having said... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Continuing estimations of 005 flavor. Coming to end of burn in of Psvane Acme 300B, Linlai Elite 101D in Statement pre. And I've long heard Shunguang Black Treasure 300B, Psvane WE and Linlai Mesh plate 101 in pre, and finally my Coincident 845 a... | |
| RIP oregonpapa While I didn't know him, always found his posts informative and respectful. Wish I had known this gentle soul. RIP | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. If your streaming only good enough, you have a ways to go. Streaming need not be any kind of compromise, except for digital haters. I prefer my streaming setup by quite a margin, and my analog setup is not merely an afterthought. |
