| 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... | |
| Claude #2 @mahgister I always enjoy your contributions. My website is a bit of a mess right now. I moved it from the WIX platform to Wordpress for two reasons: Wordpress is more flexible, creative and professional, and WIX is based in Tel Aviv and I ha... | |
| Can using a bad tube hurt an amplifier? It depends on the amplifier design. I had a 6LF6 tube short the moment I turned on one of my Futtermans, and it somehow - we still haven’t figured out how - blew the low frequency driver completely out and caused the voice coil to lock onto the ... | |
| Critical listening and altered states Black cat white cat, whatever catches the mouse. The music alters my state. Weed + music alters my state. I think someone commented on this in relation to my thread about … what did I write about? Oh yes: vinyl as a karmic spiritual experience. | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? I just give it a rest and do something else. Imho this is a non-issue. | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I miss geoffkait. Cranky dude. 😝 if I may paraphrase an old country song that the Byrds resurrected on Sweetheart of the Rodeo: you don’t miss your whatever ‘til the well runs dry. As for your question, I look for specific answers for specifi... | |
| Tom Martin's Listening Room Well, this all looks very expensive. As some of you know, I took an alternative and far less expensive route. For the rest: My wife and I bought an 1865 4.5 story brick townhouse in Newburgh, NY. It had been abandoned for 21 years and was extre... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? @stuartk ”How often does a cover truly equal an original performance, let alone surpass it? Not that often, to my ears.” Well, Sting would disagree with you. He claims that Eva Cassidy’s “Fields of Gold” is far superior to his. Same with Dyl... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? I have three tribute records, to - Karen Dalton, on vinyl - Gram Parsons, on CD - Laura Nyro, on CD I find it odd that Bette Midler does not appear on the Laura Nyro CD. Bette was good friends with Laura and got verklempt when she introduced ... | |
| Will AI. Minimize the Design differences of audio @mopsauce ”…..asking AI the correct question in the first place.” I have been starting to use ai to do 3/4 of my research (always ask it to provide the sources that it is using for its reply so that you can confirm that it didn’t “just make som... | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" @mahgister yes. | |
| Will AI. Minimize the Design differences of audio @spenav You are claiming that it’s no better than a search engine. I - and colleagues who write - absolutely disagree. It’s hugely superior. I won’t spend the time here explaining why: it’s an audio forum and you for whatever reason are jus... | |
| Will AI. Minimize the Design differences of audio @spenav ”Well, honestly, AI power is not its ability to search the world in second. Any good search engine can do that nowadays…” Not so. I use AI extensively for research for my writing. It finds stuff and more stuff, much more stuff, an... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? These are the critical variables, with what mine sell for approximately (not anywhere near what I really paid) at retail: - cartridge - $9,900 - tonearm - $900 - table - 2,400 - phono stage - $900 - tubes for phono stage - $1,200 TOTAL: $15,... |
