| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? You contradicted yourself saying an audiophile likes old equipment and tries to keep it if it sounds good to them, then you say audiophiles are tweakers who delude themselves with useless stuff (which is true much of the time). | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? "Accuse" you of being an Audiophile? I didn't know it was a crime. I think the older the gear that you know about and appreciate (and hopefully some new stuff), the more serious of an Audiophile you are. Same as with Porsches - the guys who know e... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Why do you have 350 records? Since you admittedly don’t care about sound quality, I would not consider you an audiophile.Car or lack thereof has no impact. Probably are lots of audiophiles in NYC and other cities without cars. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? We want as good as possible for a given amount of $$ investment. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Just fine is not good enough for many of us. | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Rconk - its not about the brand - its about the car (says a self described Porschephile- although not a serious one-those guys only drive air cooled). I had an M3 (and other BMWs before that). I loved that car, but when it was time to change, BMW ... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I thought the comedy shows start at 9PM on Saturdays...Nobody has called me too young for anything lately (thanks asvjerry), but I sure would like to see the turntable in a car contraption.Audio in the car is the worst possible noise scenario imag... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? No just an audiophile. Everyone if forced to listen to digital in their car, all audiophiles listen to both.DOn't know of anyone crazy trying to play analogue in the car. | |
| Looking for phono preamp suggestions Glad to hear Ron helped you out Newtoncr. He is a great guy and by the way answers his own phone and is very generous with his time. Totally down to earth, unpretentious and says he isn't an expert on everything, (but I believe he was one of the f... | |

| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Sure Walrus. Hey Zoo-boy - it's called entertainment, fun and maybe some knowledge transfer (maybe more in other discussions) This one has touched on audio equipment (analogue and yes , digital), cars - (Porsches and others and yes, SUV's), Rolexe... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Raul keeps posting the same nonsense repeatedly, including personal attacks about brains, behavior, etc. This is not the place for that. Do you understand what a personal attack is versus a logical argument? I doubt it. I forget Raul did you vote ... | |
| Looking for phono preamp suggestions I am not as knowledgeable as many of these contributors, but why do you need balanced input and output? Or does if depend on the cartridge? Doesn't the output of the cable from the turntable (cartridge/arm) just have a right and left interconnect? | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... Forgot to mention - before I got the conditioner, I had a very slight buzz coming from my speakers when nothing was playing and the volume was a little higher than normal. Furman got rid of it - that was my original reason for the purchase. It has... | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... Furman Elite 15 - multiple sets of banks. I think it lists for $8XX. I got mine used for like $400. Rock solid. Get one used without stratches on it and save yourself some $$. All you need is about a $100-$130 power cord with it and you're in busi... |
