| 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... | |
| 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... |
