I think it’s from 1967.https://youtu.be/ZoYbGPO_KKsIt has an effect where the sound goes in circles, around the room, behind yo... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio I have uncommon gear, but the amps, the table are made in the northeast so when in need of repair, I can drive them to the people who actually built them, and the speakers were built in Oklahoma but there’s an authorized repair service in NJ. | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio $1,900 strikes me as very excessive. Full stop. I had an experience with Soundsmith several years back. They wanted $800 just to do “diagnostics” on my preamp that needed a repair, a fee which was not going to be applied to the repair itself if I ... | |

| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Mahgister, thanks for the clarification. My bad. I’m just fed up with audiophiles who use our hobby to ... if I may be blunt ... bludgeon people into submission with their positions because their - - - - is too small.

| Classical music listening... what is a better source High Rez or Vinyl? This is a bad question. There are so many factors that go into this. Number one is whether or not the recording engineer(s) got it right in the first place, or if the recording is historic and relying on outdated recording technology, digital or n... | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery Sturatk:imo, there’s room room for both. I’m an artist (whatever that means), but until my senior year in high school, I was planning on a career in physics/astronomy. It’s not like I turned off that side of my brain. theaudioatticvinylsundays.com | |

| Magico compared to Tannoy No one has mentioned the cost of Magicos, which are stratospheric. A non-starting discussion for me. The Tannoys are similar to my Altec 604Cs. They get me there. | |
