| Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ? Thanks for the heads up Tony. Keep us posted on your impressions of the new tweeter, inquiring ears wanta know. I can't wait to get these babies into the room for a serious listen. | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Well said Nonoise! You took the words out of my mouth if I had the words to say what you so simply and eloquenty did. | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Me too Mechans, a hobby within the hobby. I'm sure that is how it is with most reviewers. Along with the nice discounts they may get for components that they like, remember, no dealer markups. That isn't corrupt, is it? Oh, where is the line! | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Actually it did exist and was an alternative to the mainstream audio magazines of the day. When JG Holt established "The Stereophile" in the early 60's it was to describe the subjective sonic characteristics of audio components, a first of its kin... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Schubert while you're at it why don't you just ask Kr4 what his average "take" is since he is a reviewer. While I agree that there are industries in this country where there are serious issues with corruption and greed that may affect peoples' liv... | |
| Band's you have seen on their first U.S. tour The live album was recorded later, in 74 or 75 I believe. Actually Bowie also played the Bijou as a relative unknown before the Tower concerts though I never saw him there. | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi I hear what you're saying Robsker but a "non profit" for hi-end audio? Another consideration is someone with some business savvy and ambition that might explore the viability of a for profit in the mode of Consumer Reports, not likely either. (I'm... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Ah come on Buconero117, reviewers are for the most part regular audiophiles like the rest of us. Corrupt? Come on, that is a real stretch. Has it gotten to the point in the world we live in that we find it necessary to view ourselves as victims an... | |
| Band's you have seen on their first U.S. tour Forgot Tull, in 69 or 70 I believe. I always forget about Tull, never one of my favorite bands although fabulous musicians. Ian Anderson's voice has a kind of drone that I never warmed up to and thus never worked for me. But this thread isn't abou... | |
| Band's you have seen on their first U.S. tour Well I saw Led Zepplin in Philly in 71, 72? Not their first tour I see. The most anticipated and unfortunately disappointing concert I ever saw, the sound was soooooo loud that you actually couldn't hear them if that makes sense. The sound guy sho... | |
| Greatest Composers of All Time I DO agree with you concerning the Emperor it is indeed majestic! | |
| Greatest Composers of All Time Well Audiozen, if you are referring to Beethoven's Piano Concertos vs Mozarts' piano concertos I'm not too sure I'm with you on that one. Yes, Beethoven's 5 concertos are all masterpieces but are they readily acknowledged as besting Mozart's last ... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi "A failure to relate and be genuinely critical will lead to the continuous demise of Hi End hifi."Hi Lohanimal The above is what you said so I guess it is what you mean and completely in line with the responses to your query as far as I understand... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi I completely agree with Mofimadness, Nonoise and Chayro. The thing with reviews is that you have to learn to read between the lines. So to me, the good reviewers are better at conveying what they hear and through experience in reading reviews the ... | |
| Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ? I discovered this thread looking for other impressions of the Reference 3a products, particularly the DeCapo's as I have been looking for a reasonably priced stand mounted monitor. Heard a pair of Episodes a while back for a brief listen and was q... |
