| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Porsche Club of America. I have driven a Cayenne Turbo and a Macan (they give out loaners when I get service done on my car).They are very nice and fun for what they are. I like them. I may get a Macan when my wife's lease is up, who knows? Many P... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Cayenne Turbos are nice and fast I am sure, and if that is the vehicle convenience you need and don't have the space or funds to have a true Porsche, enjoy and PCA will still let you join. However, an SUV is not a Porsche. It probably has some sha... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Robertdid - I asked to stop the personal attacks, but I guess you weren't listening. I agreed with the vast majority and vote Yes, which I think was your vote. Please confirm with one word and leave out the attack.A PERSONAL attack is one on one..... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? There are too many personal attacks here. Yes' have it by a wide margin and in one of my previous posts I noted that I changed my original opinion and agree with the majority, although excluding the ones who wish they had a turntable or can't hear... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Robertdid - I'm not creating a divide, just curious as to what Audiogoners believe. Within the range of human hearing, vinyl delivers a CONTINUOUS stream of sound. Tape/reel to reel is better - that's what they use to capture the music in the stud... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Of course what we hear is subjective.....if you think it sounds better it does.as far As “more” information,think of the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Which is more precise or has more information, 3.1417, or the symbol ... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Reduced information of vinyl???? Robertdid you must be kidding. Even oversampling can't deliver all the information of a continuous information flow from a cartridge that is not sampled. It is a scientific fact. You can try to get there, and maybe... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? If you deal with an owner versus a salesperson, you will have a better experience, just like any other retail encounter. Audio retail is a declining business, so you see stores morphing into "whole house automation" with security monitoring, mult... | |
| Two Turntables? Why I have one TT with an extra cartridge sitting in a drawer (for 8 years). From a purely justifiably logical standpoint (something you may be able to justify to a wife who is not allowed to touch anything in the stereo or records except the volume k... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Mostly great comments. A couple big disagreements - I have a basic submariner Rolex for 20 years (a working man's watch) - and a 9 year old 911 - I certainly am very happy with both, but can I mention another plus to these 2 investments - lack of... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I should have asked "could" instead of "should" but I don't think it would change anyone's answer.Yes' have a big lead out of the gate....I'll give my vote at 100. | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? I wonder what that represents in actual dollars. Double sounds high, but if its $20 versus $10, does that justify $350? | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? I took the plunge and am dealing directly with Ron Sutherland who assured me I will have no problem swapping the boards (which will save the back and forth shipping costs of $50 or so). No soldering, and he is even willing to get on the phone in c... | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? Mapman - what are you saying as to why the LPS is an optional extra cost item? | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? It is very simple for laymen playing records From cereal boxes. Records provide a continuous signal. Any digital source, even if “oversampled” still is not continuous- it has individual bits of information. Remastered records are usually better be... |
