| Lay Off the Newbies! hey george, you know, from a certain perspective the compact disc was "snake oil." 😉and yeah that search feature has been helpful for me and i've enjoyed using it a lot, though i'm on the fence whether it really justifies guys who've been posting ... | |

| Lay Off the Newbies! anyway i am in full agreement with the OP re: older guys acting like a $4000 cleaning system or $2000 isolation accessories are the Only Way to really do it right | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! @stuartk i agree with that, which is why it really doesn't matter what a jerk says - often they're just at war with themselves and take it out on someone they think they're better than. if a few rude comments puts someone off from pursuing a new h... | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! from my point of view you're gonna get knowitalls, gatekeepers, general jerks etc in any niche hobby. and it doesn't matter. if you're really into something you'll pursue it no matter how those types treat you. just gotta roll with it - why should... | |
| Ideas to improve my system I would get the sub - it really does make for a huge improvement with movies. I have the KC62 and it's good, but it's part of a 2 channel rig with no tv - if i were doing a home theater setup i'd probably look for something that can move more air.... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. darko's "snake oil" article looks totally competent from a grammar perspective...prose police are seething but hey, that's what they do | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! everyone knows the objectively-best sounding records are rare white label obscuro-soul 45's and 12" disco mixes on prelude | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! guys spending hundreds on common titles is exactly the type of thing your average record digger laughs at audiophiles about, but i absolutely do believe the people who bought em when they say they're amazing, because i myself have a small number o... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. poor grammar and spelling > stuffy "writerly" posts that reek of effort. not only in hifi either. saw someone mentioned christopher hitchens - great example of a guy who could float until he got out of his depth. unfortunately for him (and us) ... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. personally, it doesn't bother me. i think poorly written reviews make the well written ones (admittedly rare!) stand out more. i'd agree some are too wordy, some are too nerdy, some are purple to the point of inducing nausea, some are apparently d... | |

| Music Hall MMF 7.3 Question nothing wrong with a technics 1200. a friend has a music hall and that's a nice table too but you've got to isolate it right. he has his on a wall mounted shelf and his system sounds very good. with the technics you can put it on the floor, jump ... | |
| Recommended cheaper vintage SS Integrated Amps? big fan of the pioneer sx 770 and onkyo tk 2500 mk2. that kenwood is good if it's anything like the 5700, but in my experience a recap job can sometimes affect that "mellow warmth" flavor, depending on what was used. if possible it would be good t... |
