| The "Snake Oil" Trope @gaukusIt’s not an entirely different discussion. It’s the same discussion. I found for all intents and purposes that there is no, nunca, nada, zero, zilch difference. Ok, I’ll refrain from hyperbole. I can say that if there was a difference, it w... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope guakus:You have failed to respond to my position. I am not calling anyone snake oil salesmen. I have tried about a dozen cable interconnects and speaker cables over the decades that are attached to what I regard as hefty prices. You insist that th... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @ mitch2Thx! Come back in February. I might have a good running start on having all 5,500 there by then. Not all with the summaries of course 😆 | |
| Critical listening and altered states What’s a goal, if not the goal, of audio? To produce a euphoric state. It seems there are many paths towards that goal, and that they may overlap. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope cleeds, vinyl guy’s reasoning is sound. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Hello guakus:I’ve been at this audio thing for 53 years, since I built a Dyna70 and a Dyna PAS from kits at the age of 14, when I was a member of that lumpen proletariat that the apply named dadork rather too readily and self-revealingly takes com... | |
| How long does Class A have? My Futtermans do double duty in the winter: they keep my listening room - in the attic - nice and warm. I never have to turn up the heat.As for climate change, I thought politics was verboten here. I'm as left as they come on this issue and others... | |
| The smallest tube amp Not for me. Enuf said. | |
| Helping a friend build a new system For the amp, try a Dyna 70. Still great little amps, simple uncomplicated design. A refurbished, souped up one can be had for $1,500 or less and will hold their own against units costing multiple times more. | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! My VPI HW ML II is 36 years old. | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio I have 1,600 Afro-Cuban LPs. This stuff is known for not exactly rolling off the presses in good shape. Thankfully, my high end setup makes these pressings sound ... better, usually much better. | |
| Audio deals you bought that seem impossible for the price? I buy floor demo models and second hand. I’ve saved at least 60%. | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? Millercarbon, Thomas More may have coined the word from the Greek “ou-topics”, but he meant it as a pun, since the Greek “eu-topos” means “a pleasant place”. So I think you are not entirely on solid ground. | |
