| Who says cables don't make a difference? $12,000 cables is conspicuous consumption especially when the laws of diminishing returns, if not gravity itself combined with the placebo effect kick in, and therefore immoral imho. Use lamp wire and feed the starving children in Bangladesh. | |
| powercords The Law of Diminishing Returns applies especially in this category. That’s all I’m gonna say. 🙄 | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? charles1dad:Spending choices invites a range of responses in a community with different levels of resources. I don't see why that should be so surprising in this day and age, especially after the worldwide discussion on inequality sparked by Piket... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Almost forgot:Paul Robeson - complete set of 78s on HMV from London | |
| Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer? I have no loudness or tone controls. I’m sure others have explained better than I can why the shortest distance from A to B is an engineers goal. If you MUST have a tone variability option, tone controls provide more flexibility. Loudness was a ch... | |
| Tube versus SS Speculative, anecdotal at best with regard to COVID19. My stereo (just dated myself: who uses “stereo” anymore? It’s “audio”) sounds horrible when it’s humid out. Does everybody else’s? I don’t think so. As for ss v tube: ss sounds less colored mo... | |

| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? Should not be necessary to spend $80K on jaw dropping sound. My entire rig, which includes a Koetsu onyx and Futterman OTL3s converted to triode, less than $30K. See theaudioatticvinylsundays.com “about” page. When people come to listen for the fi... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny at My Father’s Place in Roslyn NY. I was at that concert in the spring of 1974. | |

| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement Geoffkait:i think its a NYC thing. I lived on a busy thoroughfare in NoHo / East Village. Dozens of taxicabs go by per hour. When I removed the cage, the RF went way up. Now that I’m in Newburgh, I should try removing the cage and see what happens... | |
