Where were you when you first heard ""Born To Run"?
Never understood Springsteen fanatics, as I never listen to his music, but I had a group(let's call them that) of friends from Chicago who loved Bruce and  "Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band" and invited me to a B S show at the Uptown Theater i... 
Denon dp-80 (and other vintage direct drives) vs modern turntables
I bet the Denon has speed problems.  Almost any new Technics will outperform it and be hassle free.  But if you like the aesthetic, can't argue with that.  There are many audio components I like that may not measure the best or are outperformed, b... 
How do I know if I need a sub woofer?
  How do I know if I need a sub woofer?    Only you can answer that.  Do you feel like you're missing something?  Do you live in a space where you won't bother/intrude on neighbors?  I noticed a lot of responses on what equipment to buy, but tha... 
Why hasnt a turntable manufacturer produced a table with automatic tonearm return/shutoff?
I own a couple of the AudioTechnica lifts, which are what most of the other designs are based on, plus a QED arm lift, all of which I don’t use anymore.  One thing I did was I stopped buying 45 RPM records.  Could not take getting up every 7 minut... 
Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down
@mahgister I have to know, how did we get from, Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down, to;  "By the way  death dont exist then those who accused him of being a crook must study a bit   more  about the discovery made by CIA  (remote viewing and out of b... 
Walk-in soundstage
 @richardbrand  Well, I don't have a surround sound system, just your basic two channel, but this recording gives me the feeling at times like I'm in the orchestra, almost like I have a seat in it, and depending on where I look(turn my head), I ca... 
??? Where Does "High End" Start ???
Where Does "High End" Start?  Like @wsrrsw mentioned, it's a state of mind, but it might start at the point where you consider yourself an Audiophile and realize a whole other world of audio equipment.  I don't remember the term High-End used grow... 
Which one would you buy
The Hamand hifi - $855.  I think the SkiFi Audio is ugly, and I don't trust their work.  Not to mention, you would have $2345.00 left over to do all kinds of things,  I don't think it's even a choice.   Places like StereoRehab love this stuff and ... 
The Accidental Tweak
Esoteric audio found that how tightly you screw together a chassis or not using screws at all on the lid improves sound.  
Aging ears and Nuances
 @rankaudio   If your friend has been subjected to a lot of loud noise all their life, and has some serious loss of sound, then maybe, but loss of upper frequencies and nuances, um, maybe he's just tired of dealing with equipment, or was not as ha... 
Electrical question
@erik_squires  In my kitchen, the lights and dishwasher are on separate circuits with a dedicated outlet that has a high quality  20 amp duplex.  My fridge fairly decent size but vey efficient, shares a circuit with a microwave and an Air Fryer th... 
Remastered CDs, HDCDs, SACDs
The first time I noticed a difference between mastering was the MFSL release of the Getz/Gilberto CD.  When I first listened to it, I was stunned by the difference between it and the original Verve release.  It was like they were mastered by compl... 
Electrical question
And here I thought that most Kitchens have separate, dedicated circuits.     
Walk-in soundstage
I experienced a holographic stage back in the mid eighties with a Spectral DMC-10 preamp and a Spectral DMA-50 amp through several speakers back then.  Particularly recordings of small club venues where it sounds like I could walk between the tabl... 
Amazon Selling Used CDs Advertised As New
I rarely purchase new discs from Amazon unless it's my only choice, but I do purchase used CDs from them with great success, typically in clean condition cheap, not to mention music that I have exhausted looking for elsewhere.
