| Is There A Device For Home Use That Can Measure How Low The Bass In My Speakers Is? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audiotools-db-sound-audio/id325307477 | |
| Old CDs and records I don’t listen to streaming. I listen not my 6,000 LPs. Full stop. | |
| Best progressive rock album side I don’t know if this qualifies, they came after the period that I associate with prog rock (late 60s-70s), and they are in fact associated with another genre, but: Scraping Fetus Off the Wheel: - Nail - Hole | |
| Turntable sub $4k buy decisions too many. I had a VPI HW MK II with an original 1st generation Koetsu Black. I upgraded to a VPI HW MK IV with a SAM and a Koetsu Onyx. The arm is the Sumiko MMT. I have had the VPI/Koetsu setup for 37 years. I couldn’t be happier. To see my complete sy... | |
| Best progressive rock album side I sorta associate prog rock with the British. That said: - Quartermass - Moody Blues: Just about their entire catalogue, but I will select In Search of the Lost Chord - Jefferson Airplane: After Bathing at Baxter’s - Pink Floyd: Meddle, Umm... | |
| Question about speaker angle The short answer is “It depends…” as for a longer answer. I do not think I can add anything of interest that has not already been said. As a general rule, I keep them mostly parallel with the rear wall, toed in maybe a couple of degrees at be... | |
| My endgame system I think @ronboco I used the Rockwool brand from Lowes as well. No panels: just 17" thick of the rockwool and the burlap over it. I was a little leery at first over health concerns, in spite of the research I did that said it was very safe, but my archit... | |
| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? I thought I was omniscient, but frankly, this one has me stumped. | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... I love music. The audio system is the means to an end: to hear the music as closely as possible to the way that the artist and engineer intended you to hear it. | |
| My endgame system I think I see rock wool in the walls but you don’t specify brand? And the panels you are using to cover them are? I used burlap: cheap ($4.00 per yard) and aesthetically pleasing (to me, at any rate). | |
| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? Clearthinker: I bought a VPI HW MK II in 1986. In 2014, I wanted to upgrade. I was going to buy a VPI Classic, but noticed the change in design philosophy. I called and asked Harvey about it. He told me that the lead ring used to make a HW was ... | |
| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? I dunno what inexpensive means in this group. Too vague a term. Price range, please? | |
| Dust cover up or down? I’ve found that since I’ve dramatically improved my room, it doesn’t matter if it’s up, down, or off. | |
| Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make? A room. I'm moving, and I'm building an even better one. | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. I mean, really. Attacking people for spending $1,000,000 on component interconnects while Ukrainian families are being brutally murdered by the tens of thousands is an easy mark, and he can’t even get that right, even though people here provide hi... |
