| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? My first response to the OPs topic was: "Is this a trick question?". Apparently not. With hundreds of topics and thousands of posts per year, it's hard to imagine not getting some value from this forum. Assuming that one's audio world is com... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? Your digital investment x 3 should get you pretty close. | |
| Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence It appears that you are describing a lack of dynamic contrast. This could be dynamic compression. Or, phase cancellation (the room). Or, both. Right off hand, it looks like there may be a power strip with lots of stuff plugged into it. You mi... | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? Putting aside the fact you are fully justified in being upset over your new (to you) speakers being "violated", I think you're going to be okay. IF the soft domes snapped back into their original shape (as in PERFECT!) and there is no material ad... | |
| Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts? "throw 2 High End brands together thinking it will give you the best sound" No, but the results will be consistently better than throwning crappy brands together. But, seriously, I agree with others on the importance of power delivery. In my fe... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? If we could just put all these lyrics in a blender, we'd solve every complex problem known to man? I've thoroughly enjoyed this deep dive into music, and poetry. Thanks to everyone for your posts. | |
| How hot is too hot? Cook eggs on your amp? You guys might be on to something here, and kickstarted an entire cultural phenomenon? I had a friend who wrapped food in foil and cooked it while he was driving his car. It didn't know it was a "thing" until I researched... | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Thoughts on the OPs observations: What might be happening here an aggregate of amplitude, detail, and dispersion. While smaller drivers are very good at projecting an image from wall to wall, they may be a couple of dbs short of a glorious presen... | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area We had a 32" Clarion sub in our possession for quite a while. In a 6 cu ft sealed enclosure it would rattle the rafters in our (and adjacent) building -- while moving about 1/4". | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles As one who likes to add context and clarity to complex situations, I'd want to make a simple distinction between Meatloaf, the performer, and meatloaf, the meal. I just happen to like both, in this case. I am also a Bad Company fan. But, certai... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Thanks for the posts. If anything, I’ve discovered the scope of the emotional connection, intensity, and complexity of the poetry within this group that integrates with what we call "music." Some lyrics just make you smile. Others seek to prod... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? @dekay The best of the best. Tough call between these two. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? For those who say JT can't sing, or perform. Yes, got a little help from Joe Walsh on guitar. James Taylor -- Clapton Guitar Festival with Joe Walsh | |

| Acquired A Complete Kenwood System From The Early Eighties, Looking For Guidance @angelaj Back in the 80s, It Was Common for Manufacturers to Market Complete 1-Brand Systems Under the Category of "Rack System" with One Model# for the Entire System. (I tried caps for the beginning of each word, but my old brain/body aren’t c... |
