| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned I can't help it, but if someone if extolling the virtues of a component like a DAC or media server, I am completely on board with that discussion. However, if someone is putting what looks like a stone cow pie with a cheap label on their equipment... | |
| Audiophile virtues Like you, my love of music led to my search for perfection in the reproduction of said music. The search became all-encompassing until the search for reproductive perfection supplanted the music itself. It has now progressed to a point where I no ... | |

| Live music you have attended that left impact....perhaps better than you expected. In the 50+ years I have been going to see "live" music, I have had the pleasure to many fabulous concerts, but for brevity's sake I will only include a few highlights from the 1970's. Most are the first time that particular artist visited Vancouve... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. It wouldn't be right if one of us old farts didn't give a big thank you to television shows like The Ed Sullivan Show, Shindig, Hullabaloo and American Bandstand. The Beatles, The Dave Clark 5, Rolling Stones, The Who, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, J... | |

| High Fidelity Sound Speaker I am sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about, no matter how many times you post. Maybe using spellcheck and actual sentence structure might help, but somehow I doubt it. That being said, I actually do have a "whizzer thing", but... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? I have Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand SE speakers (4ohm) which are towers with a relatively small footprint (8.5” x 13.5" x 38.25”). Originally I was driving them with Simaudio Moon Neo 220i (80 wpc) and no subwoofer. I recently switched to ... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? @tommylion First, thanks for the attempt to inform our readers about something they may find interesting. Second, I admire the bravery you showed in waving your red cape in front of some of the angry bulls that populate this site. I am a... | |
| The Good Stuff Gallagher was to Ireland, what a young Bruce Springsteen was to Asbury Park, New Jersey. I had the pleasure of seeing Rory Gallagher and his band 3 times and this performance from his 1974 Irish Tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkleKuA... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search I am not sure why this is so common. The OP asks about CD players and says that the ones he has tried are Onkyo changers and a used Denon that cost him $52 on Ebay. One of the responses he gets is to look at a Bricasti M1 DAC at $9,000 and a... | |
| Why does bass have more “punch” when I stand up vs. sitting? +1 Swarm (distributed bass array) | |
| Townshend Seismic Bars vs Podium @tuberist I am curious about the Nobsound springs, but don't know what their specifications are. Specifically how many springs are necessary for say a 60lb speaker or a 35lb amplifier. | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? I don't know if they qualify as "boutique builders" these days, but I was very impressed with Oppo recently. I was wanting to sell an Oppo BDP83 player, but the disk tray was a little quirky. I contacted Oppo about getting it fixed and although I ... | |
| The Most Cost Effective Tweak @nevillekapadia "Alcohol, is an effective and cheap solution!"Marginally effective and definitely not cheap. |
