| Sat front row at the symphony... Each concert hall has their own sonic signature as I am certain you must know. That said, as a general rule, a few rows back will give the most balanced sonic experience. | |
| Admitting my error… Buy a collection just so you can have a collection? I am sorry, but this sounds like a rich man's problem. Given the what strikes me as the extravagant amount that you are spending on your gear, I’m guessing I’m not far off. theaudioatticv... | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? Donate to a library or to Vietnam Veterans | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? The cost/value curve starts turning sharply upward at a point slightly greater than the amount that I’ve spent on my own audio system. 😏😆 theaudioatticvinylsundays.com | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? @ross6860 Like thecarpathian, I’m also a bit skeptical of your exercise regimen: I’m thrilled that I keep up with 50 miles of bike riding per week, or 2,500 per year. That said, I also don’t eat junk, I have a glass of red wine a day. Ne... | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? My system has been more or less stable with these components for 25+ years, with the approach to configuration for 45+ years. https://www.theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/about | |
| Anything more resolving than 65 year-old speakers? I have a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs. The serial number dates them at 1956, two years younger than me. To paraphrase a famous Beatles song: 604Cs are good to me, you know They make me happy as can be, you know I say so I'm in love with them an... | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? I agree with some others here. What is the need to switch from one digital format to another? I don’t get it. - Are you moving into a much small home? - You want the convenience of switching content with a remote, without getting out of your chai... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… I’ve got a NY Audiolab Futterman OTL3 that’s “hot-rodded” and modified to output transformerlesss triode. | |
| Older subwoofers better than newer subwoofers! I have the Velodyne ULD 15 MK II. Placement is critical. I used the crawl test. Oddly, it sounded fantastic AT the seating position. I moved it 3 feet behind. I am currently fine with it. | |
| Stereo or monoblocks Has anyone mentioned the little bit about monoblocs allowing you to get the amps (much) closer to the speakers? For some, a not unimportant consideration. | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus For me, it’s a tie: - Bruce Springsteen at Max’s Kansas City. It was a very small club on Park Avenue South near the NE corner of Union Square that became famous as Andy Warhol’s hangout (his studio was on the NW corner of Union Square). I think ... | |
| WHEN DID YOU FINALLY STOP... I more or less stopped here some 20 years ago. Scroll to the bottom for the system description: Minor tweaks here ‘n there, maintenance. That’s it. | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl @emrofsemanon The link to a description of my system is posted above. I just had my hearing checked. It’s normal for my age. You do need to keep the records clean. I don’t know what to say. For the overwhelming majority of my records, noise i... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bigtwin I see your point. Two things: - the first Stones LP was mostly covers of American blues compositions. It wasn’t until the 2nd to 3rd LP that originals by Jagger/Richards, at the urging of Oldham, I believe, started to predominate. B... |
