Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers Decades ago, I had an opportunity to choose beteeen Klipsch La Scala and Altec 604Cs. Speakers aren’t everything. It depends what you match them with. At the time, it was the Dyna Stereo 70 I had built myself when I was 14. I chose the Altec 604... | |
Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! This conversation imho is a waste of time. Nevertheless…… Less is almost always better. A quality system - cartridge, arm, table, SUT, preamp, amp, 2 speakers - set up properly in a properly treated room can give you holographic sound. I recen... | |
Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @larryi I had been collecting MoFi for years. At one point, I thought that I was noticing that the sound quality had become thinner, less airy and detailed. Finally, the controversy over the digital step erupted. And I said “ah hah!”. I now... | |
Worth repairing a Velodyne ULD-12 from the 90's? I have the ULD-15, a MK I and a MK II. On the MK II, the foam fell apart. I bought a kit from these guys: https://www.springfieldspeakerrepair.com/collections/diy-foam-surround-repair-kits It was far easier to do the repair than I imagined i... | |
Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Two LPs by J G Thirlwell aka Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel: “Nail” and “Hole”. “Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel” is a nom de guerre of J G Thirlwell, an Aussie musician who wrote, performed and produced 4 albums under that name by himself. A brilli... | |
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. @rodman99999 ”Where have you been for the past 3+ years?” Fighting three free speech cases against the government in court, perhaps? Now, I didn’t waste my time going through all of your links. Anything that starts out by citing the WSJ (which... | |
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. @rockysantoro If audiogon was the government, they would be banned from adopting your position. It’s called viewpoint based discrimination. It leads to dictatorship. They are not the government, so they are free to ban posts and do as they plea... | |
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. @rodman99999 I am curious: did you actually watch Poppy’s two demonstrations? Because your response does not speak to them. | |
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Correction: Poppy is chief of neuroscience. | |
Speakers that disappear Whether or not your speakers disappear is system dependent. My speakers lost that quality for a number of years. I recently repaired/upgraded the electronics: amps, preamp, phonostage. They disappeared again. 😊 The room may be the most important ... | |
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. @boxcarman ”….The cable unbelievers either don’t have audiophile ears or an unresolving system where wires are just wires….” So says His Audio Excellency, sacred holder of the highest knowledge in all things audio. Maybe His Audio Excellency s... | |
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @deep_333 It is true that every recording has been equalized out the wazoo. However, your audio system should have reached the point where you not only hear the audio engineer's decisions from one recording to the next, but sometimes even the eq... | |
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @thecarpathian I am not here enough to understand who most of the players are. It seems to me, judging from some of his comments in the thread, that he is trying to coax a discussion about the political economy of audio. Not in so many words... | |
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @ozzy62 I’m in possession of a curious nature, and read, watch and listen to all manner of ideas and things. EG I subscribe to WaPo, the WSJ, The Guardian, Le Monde, Financial Times, Russian TV, The NY Times, Reason, etc. It is how you learn. I... | |
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @emergingsoul Agreed. I’m here to see what’s going on, but there is a disciplined method to how I go about audio. I decided what my ears prefer at an early age - tube v solid state. I chose the former. When digital came out, after a certain pe... |
