| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings As a philosophical matter, I take issue with the word truth. I am of the POV that there is no such thing as knowing the truth. We can only know more of the truth. We can get “truthier”. It’s a never ending search. Audiophiliacs are what we call th... | |
| Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers Trying to get good bass out of inefficient bookshelf speakers is like trying to ... oh, forget it. MC is right: start with the problem presented by your listening space setup, and start from scratch with components designed in a way that addresse... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. AtmasphereI have recordings with bass drums that don’t just shake walls, but knock things off the bookshelves. This sadly is not one of them. It’s disappointing because I love the composition, I have three recordings of it, and none are really sat... | |
| Speaker repair...is it easy? I never try to do this, because of the voice coil gap tolerance. I leave it to the pros. Gabriel Sound in NJ does my Altec 604Cs. Price is reasonable. | |
| Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment? I don’t collect noisy LPs. I have a few. I don’t listen to them. Sometimes some LPs that I buy develop pops right away, even though they go straight back into their inner archival sleeve after playing. I’ve never understood why that is so. | |

| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Atmasphere,Well, my cell phone finally is not correcting atmasphere. NYAL is based on the same design (that I have listened to and am familiar with), and many knew and worked with Mr Futterman. There is a direct lineage. Yes, it’s been stated that... | |

| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) If you are a visual artist of some kind, or if you’ve studied linguistics, or, especially if you have done both, nothing new here. It’s (relatively) common knowledge that ‘eskimos’ allegedly have as many as 300 words for snow. Studies show, howeve... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Atmasphere,Obviously. Please: I provided a link to a rebuilt one. You make wonderful amps but clearly this person is starting out and can’t afford them, not my Julius Futterman OTL3s. I began by building my own Dyna 70 when I was 14 years old and ... |
