| 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... | |

| 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. | |
| HiFi vs MidFi Perhaps think of this analogy. Consider MidFi like watching Avatar on DVD and HiFi like watching it on BluRay. Until you know the difference, you are loving the experience. But once the Pandora's box of HiFi is opened, there is no going back... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard I think Harry Nilsson said it best. "You're breakin' my heartYou're tearing it apart so f**k you" | |
| I agree with Keef This is total crap. It is a song, a great song, that was written by Richards and Jagger in the context of the times we lived in. No different than Francis Bacon painting or William Burroughs writing in the 1950's. Just because it doesn't align ... | |
| The two stages of audiophilia @rvpiano 1. Compulsively and fanatically build the best audio system you are able to and can afford.2. Sit back, listen to MUSIC and enjoy your system. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2. | |
