| MoFi controversy If I spend high-dollar value for a specific thing, I feel ripped off if that thing is not what it’s supposed to be. We buy analog stuff for a reason. The “stop complaining if it sounds good” argument is nil. Side-stepping honesty as a company i... | |
| Dua Lipa denies new allegations of plagiarism of her hit 'Levitating' One’s indifference to or lack of fondness for an artist is irrelevant to the issue at hand. I have no fondness for Dua Lipa. It’s entirely possible that this plagiarism occurred during one of her sessions completely without her knowledge. What... | |
| Dua Lipa denies new allegations of plagiarism of her hit 'Levitating' There are many instances where an artist will take a fully formed song (perhaps even use the original release’s backing tracks), record original vocals/lyrics for this song and release it under a new title. The artist then avoids copyright infring... | |
| Dua Lipa denies new allegations of plagiarism of her hit 'Levitating' Rick Beato used software to play both songs simultaneously so that the tempos would match perfectly without pitch-shifting (the tempos were’t all that different to begin with). On the chorus, it was difficult to tell there were two songs playing ... | |
| Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks? My black, piano gloss Usher CP-6311 floor standers with the cherry wood side panels are very handsome; the simple, elegant design of my Clearaudio Concept Wood turntable with it’s baltic birch, constrained layer plinth and Satisfy Carbon Fiber ton... | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. @jusam That comment wasn’t meant to ridicule the OP, or the validity of the topic. I just thought it was funny; “anybody ever met an audio person who was also a good person?” | |
| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated @audition__audio Most of these terms I can identify and cite as observable, repeatable aural phenomena. I can then use these terms to communicate to another person the inherent aural qualities of a certain thing. This is useful. Due to the high... | |
| Vinyl record grading I would think small scale selling (50 LPs) would make the ideal situation very plausible: play-testing every LP after cleaning, grading conservatively (on the visual side unfortunately) and leaving a nice description regarding how it sounds. If i... | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. This is a hilarious question - the implication being that meeting an audio person who is also nice is an exceptional occurrence 🤣🤣 | |
| Vinyl goes green! @mulveling Insert enough trendy buzzwords into any marketing language and watch the consumers’ Agreeability Sensors blink and glow like a Christmas tree. ”Ooooo, did you hear that, honey? They said, ‘sustainable!’” | |
| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated I appreciate this. On a recent thread here, I inquired as to what people mean when they say, “rhythm and pace, or “pace, rhythm and timing,” (PRaT) It did not go well. I appreciate someone making a good faith effort to apply concrete, practical... | |

| The thing about objectivists is... @nonoise I can’t speak to the others’ intent, but my last comment was sarcastic. | |
| The thing about objectivists is... Yes, within the context of this thread, there’s nothing useful about determining the meaning of subjective terms, and how they may, in certain instances, be used as a way to present an objective analysis of audio gear. We should really keep this... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... @nonoise I asked a question as to what practical function the term, “PRaT” has in describing audio gear. You then said, “this is a term that’s been around for decades and how you don’t understand its meaning ‘in this context’ (nonoise’s initial u... |
