Neil Young calls out Tidal
The most at risk are now wearing masks where I live without mandate....I am sure all of them got vaccinated. The % of younger people is lower I am sure, especially among the recently approved age levels. As the virulence wanes, hopefully the manda...

Look - the pharma companies are no angels, they are like any other - beholden to their shareholders. That does not subtract the good that they have done saving millions of lives, and hospitalizations with the vast majority being those over 65 or p...

@mahgister Eric Clapton is one of the all time great guitarists, but is a known anti-vaxxer. I was just saying Neil is a hippie- I never thought of Clapton as such. He is British….from the 60’s, but not a hippie. I wouldn’t consider the Beatles Hi...

the guy on @mahgister video is an absolute idiot. Attempted comedy and failed miserably. Neil has millions of fans and is one of very few true artists, although his politics are those of a sixties hippie. He can do whatever he wants and Spotify c...

It is not objective or subjective....objective can give you a guideline for what you subjectively should be hearing/appreciating. Only listening without understanding the specs is ridiculous, as is not listening and only going by specs. This is a...

Can't we just end the back and forth pettiness and agree with the OP that posters who own a company selling audio products or are promoting one should make it clear either in their name or their signature?  Except cars.....there is a nice correla...

Can't we just have any political posts automatically deleted? This is an audiophile community discussion site. I am sure there are plenty of political ones where people can be as outspoken as they want about that stuff, which gets more than enoug...

@jjss49  - +1 right on the money. I am not going to engage with his haters, a relatively small group that are very vocal. If you don't like him. just don't read his posts. No need to complain about him - of course disagree if you have a problem wi...

MC stated in a previous post before he was asked to take a break from the 'Gon that he works for Townshend. He is also working on a couple other things since he retired from his "normal" work and when he returns he will provide more details in add... 
Why People Like Tekton
Why wouldn't an audiophile want to hear everything on the record that was created by the artist? You certainly hear them it at a concert. My goal is to get the sounds as close to live music as possible or at least feel like I am in the studio with... 
High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman....
If you can find a used Plinius integrated, it will give you great bang for the buck. Mine has a very good phono stage that has a switch for MC to MM, but when I put in a Sutherland phono stage, the improvement was very noticeable. I know their dis...

As far as Townshend podiums go, for me their seismic platform was a remarkable improvement for my turntable. I was lucky to be able to talk to Max Townshend (RIP) who took the time to understand my application and send me the right tension pods in... 
The hunt is over
@zavato - that was my point- you faced a decision so you weren’t at your endgame. Going up the line of a manufacturer’s products is part of the journey. Settling on a manufacturer of a component by no means is an endgame. It’s certainly a good mil... 
The hunt is over
@zavato - my point is that when the stylus wears out, it is a decision point to either retip it and perform whatever other service it may need, get a new replacement for the same cartridge (which I did last time), or opt for a different one. Yes c...
