| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge Fremer is fun to read but I don’t use his recommendations at all. He gets a lot of stuff wrong and his somewhat of a meltdown on the Mofi One Steps and his twenty years late review on electrical service (like he discovered Xanadu) coming into the ... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Well, you obviously had some thoughts about what you were purchasing right? If you're happy with the equipment and feel the price was right then that's all that really matters and not what I or anyone else thinks. Personally, I never make a purc... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video Ugh! So this is what has become of discourse on Audiogon? This guy? I couldn't watch 60 seconds of this doofus. Who cares, more importantly though, why do you care about this guy or 99.99% of the drivel on YouTube? | |
| Costliest Brainfart Pulled an NYAL Minuet in A preamp out of storage where it was for over a decade and installed it in my system. I remembered that it had some issue with one of its channels. It was a Saturday morning and I turned it and the system and went to the... | |
| How serious are you? From an 8-9 to a 5 I started in this hobby forty plus years ago when I realized that their was this whole other approach to audio than the Pioneer, Technics, Teac, Bose Altec, products that dealers around me sold. And it happened when my older b... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? And sometimes an audiophile doesn't know that they're an audiophile. Growing up, one of my friends in grade/ high school's dad was a stockbroker. I think that he was earning a six figure income in 1968. Certainly had the toys, but one thing I r... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often I'm not sure who you're talking about but I had bad luck with using Mundorf Supreme Caps in a design. I actually talked to Danny Ritchie and he confirmed that the Mundorfs were a poor choice also. Of course, he recommended Sonic Caps, so I calle... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red And you think that was the worst of the treatment your package received from point A to point B? | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? Honestly, it's 99.9% crap but in that 0.1% you find the gems or at least someone with the same tastes as you. Just today I ran across a video of restoring a not particularly audiophile product but when he took the cover off, I thought, you know, ... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I always like to ask if the price is negotiable. That way, no hurt feelings. Nothing worse than someone coming by that you assumed was ready to purchase, and then start negotiating. | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? My older brother after his freshman year in college(1977) came back for the summer with a B & O Beogram 4002 table, Yamaha receiver(don't remember the model), and a pair of large Tannoy Era Monitors with classic 12" dual concentric drivers and... | |
| Cable elevators A few years back I ran across a hundred plus glass/ceramic high voltage insulators being tossed out, most with a cradle in them that reminded me of 50' - 60's kitchen stoneware. I realized they can work as cable risers and looked smart but on my ... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition I'm just going to reiterate what I said elsewhere; You're paying for an industrial artist's work, not improved performance. I never heard of him until this new Linn turntable and I'm not an Apple person. Frankly it looks cheap in the photos. Yo... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT These questions get so boring and routine. But okay, from what I have actually heard and spent any time with, Esoteric P1X. Also heard it with the Rubidium Clock and that made improvements but is not made anymore. But Esoteric has an all new in ho... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey You play a lot of music at loud levels in that room? Not much I can see will help with airborne interference. Maybe a nice digital playback source. |
