| What is a "reference" system? Dekay, thanks for that! Well, if it’s good enough for James Mason, it’s good enough for me. What kills me is that I have visited the homes of some of the old codgers...err members on this board, and you know what? They have all of this scratch bu... | |
| What is a "reference" system? No, I mentioned it, "Richard's", short for Richard's Wild Irish Rose. You need to get some better hooch and become more conversant with the finer things in life. | |
| What is a "reference" system? Thanks to all who played. This morning, I just cracked open my second bottle of Thunderbird (hey, it's a holiday), and it hit me. Thunderbird is my "reference" hooch. The one that I judge all other hooch by. Otherwise, I would never know how good ... | |
| Desperate to Get Back to Horns Yes Wolfe! Thank you for the correction, appreciated. | |

| Recommendations for recent rap and hip hop recordings please. Not me, falling apart, must come from all that rap music. | |
| Recommendations for recent rap and hip hop recordings please. I'm 67 years old, so still young? Cool, I'll take that! | |
| Recommendations for recent rap and hip hop recordings please. LOL! My rodents can't stand Mahler; no accounting for taste. | |
| Recommendations for recent rap and hip hop recordings please. This is great question. IMHO, we are all different, I associate the advantages of a high end system with accurate dynamics. But let’s look at your definition for a moment. If a system can accurately portray voices, and acoustic instruments, it se... | |
| Recommendations for recent rap and hip hop recordings please. Some idiots can’t control themselves and have to disparage other’s tastes. Sign of a small mind, and a very small...oh forget it. Nothing changes, IMHO. | |
