| You're overbudget on gear, one more thing... "How about 4 for $600?" jeffseight-I can afford the 3/$10 bin at my neighborhood store. Every now and then excellent 1st press 60-70's LP's. If the seller's list is indeed 1st press albums and good condition, they do have value. At $100+ each, ... | |
| Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling? frogmans link for those who don't care to subscribe to NYTimes https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E3D6153BF936A1575AC0A962958260 | |
| Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling? Ella's best years are the Decca and early Verve. Particularly with minimal accompaniment. "vocal fireworks make for precious little emotion." Maybe you're referring to the later 60's and forward schmaltzy, overproduced "pop" Ella that many thin... | |
| Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa? Duct tape has use somewhere, in audio equipment- I just haven't found it yet. | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? Put the design and sound of your $25K speaker in a $5k package, then return. Other than the enclosure being machined out of aluminum, it appears to present itself as every other speaker-"premium" or pedestrian level. | |
| Creem Magazine is Back! It appear’s to just be an archive website? Loved it in the 70’s along with Circus. Just another nostalgia distraction for us boomers. Looks like something Gen X and younger hipsters will enjoy. Creem was about R&R, which hasn’t been relevan... | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered J-wall, I imagine very few- if any, readers see my use of the term audiophool as just poking fun at EVERYTHING/EVERYONE(including myself) who participates in this often ridiculous hobby. Other than setting gear up with safety in mind, it's a fr... | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered J-wall, As you can see-WITHOUT even going to the archives, audio cryo is part of audiophoolery. | |
| Euro Tumble "I’m thinking Focal, MBL, PMC" Those brands have an established US distributor. Do your homework on the brands that aren't discussed/mentioned here, and have no US distributor. Then contact them directly. | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered j-wall- the cryo thing for tubes, cables and whatever unfortunately is just another YMMV, subjective thread topic. Check the archives. | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered For those devoted to LP playback and tube amps-nothing here to see. | |
| Anyone have Warfedale Linton 85th anniversary? GR Research as usual, reveals the facts. As always, there's graphs and what your ears like. | |
| Anyone experienced a London Decca Reference cartridge? "I currently use a Lyra Atlas SL. Hard to imagine the London is better." At the level you're at, you should know better than let that thought enter your mind-there ALWAYS is something "better." Moving iron//Decca super carts on appropriate se... | |
| Thinking INSIDE the Box. I didn't get past the opening sentence. Hoping to read what the thread is about from the responses. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Imagine going back a couple of decades... Pre digital broadcast TV to flat screen/hi def Consider the Rega, since you won't have to fuss with adjustments/alignment. 3 screws, set the tracking and you're ready to spin. If you get the bug, now yo... |
