| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday @frogman I went in there at least twice a year for well over 15 years. I never felt welcomed. Not once. Not the case at the other two shops I frequented, especially Stereo Exchange which was just the opposite. theaudioatticvinylsundays.com | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday @frogman And your inference is? I stand by my comments. Stereo Exchange was a much more welcoming place. Steve Wasserman is genuinely warm and friendly, and he has an amazing memory: he would greet you by name every time you walked in, and h... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday @czarivey That was my experience. I disliked him immensely. I did go in the shop for FOMO, and I did once buy something, my VPI HW / Sumiko MMT / Koetsu Black combo there, in 1985. But he was not helpful: I knew to know what I wanted before I we... | |
| Music first or sound first? Form : sound Function : music | |
| Replacement for Shindo I never owned a Shindo but out of FOMO, I auditioned them a few times. The Shindo did not persuade me to switch from my Futtermans but of the things I’ve auditioned over the years, the Shindo came closest to sounding like my Futtermans. Here is a... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? As this is allegedly a settled topic I will wade in only briefly: - audio truism #1: the room is half your system. - when my wife and I renovated our 1865 4.5 story brick townhouse based on a Calvert Vaux #5 design from his Villas and Cottages, ... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. The poster identifies himself as Jackhifiguy and then attacks hi fi guys. Jeesh, poor, confused soul: oy vey iz mir. This is obvious trolling. Provocation, not elucidation. Doesn’t deserve a response guys. Pull this post down. | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Get the Zerostat gun. About 100 bucks. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change You don’t have a problem. You just like to hear how the sounds of recordings vary on different equipment. I prefer to figure it out once until all my recordings sound as great to my ears, and then sit back and listen. | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @pindac The cartridges - Koetsu Onyx and Rosewood Signature - get re-tipped and refurbished regularly. I understand that the grit that inevitably gets inside the cartridge can itself get electrically charged and stress and even break the coils. I... | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" @liquidsound Well, I've been called names before, but this takes the cake. 🤯 | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" @theskipperthree I am with mahgister: too long by a factor of 5, and if it was really that funny, ok. Life is short. Jokes: shorter still, preferably. | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @pindac All of my components get serviced every 5 to 15 years, depending. The tonearm has been serviced and functions as it is designed to. People who manufacture tables and arms say that with proper maintenance, old components can last a lifet... | |
| Not enough outlets I would get a power conditioner with up to 12 outlets and plug them all in there. It doesn't have to be an expensive one. | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" @llg98ljk You don't need a lot of money to get to audio nirvana. I have spent about $45,000...over a period of 56 years. That's about $820 a year. My wife spends more than that on cigarettes. I hope to finish with my essay on my 56 year jo... |
