| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I dunno. Too many to list. Almost all rap. Lite rock. Bob Dylan on occasion. | |
| Quality answer to dangers of Tube amps running under no load Well. - I have no output transformer. So does this still apply? - Four months ago, I powered up my left monobloc. There was a bright flash and a loud pop. It blew the 15” diaphragm in my Altec 604Cs. A tube had apparently arced at powering u... | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. Dude, we are the last generation, a dying breed. To paraphrase Clark Gable, no one gives a damn anymore. Well, a few of us do, enough well heeled ones that engineers feel it’s worth their while to design $600,000 speaker pairs. But I digress. ... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? @inagroove What is the point of spending $100,000 on a vinyl front end when one can bring one’s listeners to tears with only $16,000? | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? I’ve spent about $55,000 on my system over 57 years. Not only does the vinyl sound much better than digital, but I can hear when an LP is AAA vs ADA or DDA. To be fair, I’ve invested more - way more - in the analog end than the digital end. I... | |
| Brian Wilson I liked the Beach Boys music. I liked Pet Sounds but never understood the mystique around it. With my system now completely refurbished/rebuilt in a new treated and dedicated room, I sat down to listen to it for the first time in years, in the gr... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile When I built a Dynaco Stereo70 from a kit, age 14, in 1968. | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community Meh. I am totally not on board with 2, 5, 7, and 8. Some of the others are questionable. He sounds like a blow-hard, if you ask me. Anyone who comes up with an agenda like that and then says "take it or leave it", is a bit of a contemptuous pers... | |
| Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds I bought two colored vinyl pressings at release. I have yet to open them. Just not interested. | |
| Stacking NO. Full stop. | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist I just heard Mala Waldron live this afternoon. Great vocalist and pianist. Goddaughter of Billy Holiday. Limited recording output, sadly. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Maybe 50 years ago, poorly designed crossovers was an issue. Not today. | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? @r27y8u92 “I cannot say possession of $150,000 is stupid, but also I refrain to say that was wise.” Is that directed at me? You are making a value judgement on how many records someone owns? Really? I hesitate to suggest what you may think of ... | |
| Claude #2 @mahler123 You didn’t bother to actually read the references that I provided, did you? Confirmation bias at work here. @gdaddy1 If I post on a particular topic, I find it more than reasonable to expect people to stay on topic. Otherwise,... | |
| Claude #2 @mapman The problem is capitalism, not AI. You completely muddy the waters with your unedited, unorganized rambling. And again, someone (you) is off topic. This is a post about my leaving because people wanted to talk about AI, not about why wo... |
