| You might be an audiophile if... You see that ad for "A Perfect Pair" in the back of Stereophile and honestly notice the tubes instead of the boobs. | |
| Plasma Aftermarket Power Cord I bet you'll be able to see more of a difference 2 and 1/2 years from now, when the analog circuits are shut down and you're looking at pure snow on the screen.Seriously, people...either start getting digital televisions (ideally HDTV), or expect ... | |
| CD...then the SACD...all over again Newbee: I *do* listen to Shirley Horn, actually. And many other very good (or great) jazz artists. I just think that Diana Krall, with her Nixon-esque ham-handed piano playing and inability to interpret lyrics or read ANY insight into a song's mea... | |
| CD...then the SACD...all over again I know, I know...I can just skip the CD altogether. Still, that doesn't seem like a "solution" in the true sense of the word. It's just going without for a while (a loooong while, if it's an artist you really like).Viridian--it's not like we're ta... | |
| Best Speakers to Audition in the $5-10k range? Merlin VSM-MX should definitely be on your list, IMHO. | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? I rediscovered my light bulb collection! | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? Three to suggest that your bulb have a balanced, silver connection on it.Three more to suggest that balanced light bulb connections only matter if you're running the light more than 30 feet. | |
| AAC or AppleLossless Pardales, all 54 gigs of my iPod hard drive are songs in Apple Lossless. For what it's worth, that's about 2500 tunes...some are a minute long, some are classical or jazz pieces that last 17 minutes. Most are average, about 3-5 minutes in length.W... | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? M1000i's cost $200 per meter. Many observers feel they deliver less performance at that price point than offerings from other cable manufacturers.Not trying to start a battle royal over this...just filling you in on the so-called "Conventional Wis... | |
| underrated or unheard of musician/band The kid: My friend Mike and I are going to the Nats game at 7 on the 29th, then straight up to the 9:30 Club for the Westerberg show, since the doors open at 10. THAT'S the way to go out in DC! | |
| underrated or unheard of musician/band I *very* much second Westerberg. Commercial success...so close, but yet so far. When he threw down an f-bomb on Saturday Night Live in the late '80's, it cemented that he/The Mats would never achieve true popular acclaim, but it also ensured that ... | |
| Update Merlin TSM-Speaker Cables please I've used Analyis Plus on my VSM-MMs. Certainly I enjoy the results, and Bobby didn't have a *problem* with my using them... | |
| Allman Brothers - Live at the Fillmore I've only heard the SACD. It sounds better than about 80% of the SACDs I've heard, and I have about 75 of them. Also, I burned the redbook portion (it's a hybrid) into the iPod, and that sounds pretty solid as well. | |
| Review: Polk Audio Lsi 25 Speaker I am no longer able to find the speaker at that price. My understanding is that Polk went after those dealers who were selling them too far below retail value...can't confirm that, though. | |
| Latest iPod Configuration -- Any New Hope? With a couple thousand songs of Apple Lossless and Shure e5C headphones, I feel my 60 GB iPod is a pretty solid piece. The sonic quality is good enough for me considering that it's just a fancy MP3 player, and the value of having only those tracks... |
