| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? Yes. Try “Nail” or “Hole” by Scraping Fetus Off the Wheel. | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? Except for the 3 year old room, my gear is 35 years old or much older (speakers are from 1956, almost as old as me). I’m happy with it. I’d put it up against most new stuff these days. https://www.theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/about | |

| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Rockwool. About $900. Made at least a 30% improvement to sound that I thought was already very good. | |

He noticed that social media by its very nature tends towards conflict because it generates more t... | |

| Cartridges with that musical coherence - having heard it, I need to learn more I hear Jelco closed its doors, explaining why the prices are tripling, when you can find them. I have a vintage Sumiko MMT. | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics @ sns: my bad if I implied that we need a “peer reviewed audio board” process. I meant to suggest the opposite: that subjectivity reigns in a field that claims to have higher standards of critical thinking than what reigns in the audio world, so w... | |
| Critical listening and altered states @ hilde45Speaking for myself, I would never use any altered state that compromises my analytical faculties for evaluative purposes. For enjoyment? Of course, absolutely. Others on this thread have already covered the why quite well. The only thing... |
