| Does Age Matter? 59 - 100% analogue on the stereo, CDs in garage while washing car, CD or Sirius/XM depending on which car I am driving.Statistically this is a waste of time since you are setting the Mendoza line arbitrarily at 60 (although I like thinking I'm in ... | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! @elliottbnewcombjr - aren't all audiophiles by definition fussy? If you don't care about high SQ I doubt you would categorize yourself as an audiophile. You didn't say why you prefer tubes, if you ever had them in your system, when that was, etc.Y... | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! Thanks Lewm. I am hoping to hear from people who have tried or use both and their reasons for choosing tubes over SS. There was a similar discussion on analogue vs. digital and it was interesting to hear both sides opinions. | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! Is it really worth all this fuss? Can't you find a solid state amp that sounds as good or better, or are tubes less expensive for a given sound quality?Don't shoot me - I am a vinyl guy, so certainly willing to go through some inconvenience for to... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Acoustic Sounds just stoped selling hiRez DLs because of decreasing sales. that should tell you something. Vinyl sales have been increasing for 15 years. CDs have been declining for a few years. I was disappointed in CDs in the mid 80’s and early ... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? @dekay - CD stands for compact disc | |
| Top Jazz & Pop/Rock Groups/Artists you listen to and the best recording you have on vinyl I please list in the OP, so no question mark.Maybe to @millercarbon was a comment.....What about your list @fuzztone? | |
| Top Jazz & Pop/Rock Groups/Artists you listen to and the best recording you have on vinyl Thanks Chuck - but you really didn’t answer the question. I’m aware of Better Records, but they are much more than I am willing to spend, and I really don’t like noisy albums. I guess I have the mindset of what I used to pay, getting UHQRs for $35... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? @hilde45-time is money and once clicking I go down a rabbit hole for curiosity. Seems as if you are encouraging the divergence instead of sticking with your OP, and mahgister is encouraging you with a back and forth.My $.02, but note that I am s... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? What is this a philosophy, English or history class? If that was the subject of the OP, I surely would not have clicked in. Come on, I’m sure there are a lot of other forums out there that have readers who all want to hear about this stuff, but I ... | |
| What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully? Wasn't a conversion, but a reawakening. 20 or so years ago, I couldn't believe how good a $500 manual turntable improved the sound over a more expensive one I had that broke. Told my brother in law about it who still had his college system with bo... | |
| Power strips- too many choices Furman elite 15 power conditioner gets my vote - You can get good deals on these used. Has separate banks based on equipment type. Better than a 4 gang box and you don't have to worry about starting a fire or hiring an expensive electrician.Don't ... | |
| How old are you? First stereo if you want to call it that was a Broadmoor designer all in one with built in 8 track tape player, tuner, hard wired speaker cables and fully automatic turntable from Korvette's (anyone remember that department store) that embarrassin... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? For me its about enjoying music that I like to the maximum possible level. If I could listen to every song I play at a concert (in a good venue) with non-animal fans showing up, that's nirvana. Unfortunately, many of my records are by artists that... |
