| Do your ears deceive you? The element of "negative bias" is not often discussed here. A concept is proposed that "pegs the needle on your BS meter." Then, reluctantly, (perhaps to prove someone WRONG!!) you listen anyway. Astonishingly (and, sometimes embarrassingly) yo... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? Not intentionally. But I may not be able to tell the difference between "unfamiliar" human created music and AI. So, when the music starts playing and I don't have an immediate compulsion to hit the "next track" button, then it gets a "pass." | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery Interesting post. Well articulated deep dives into our hobby are always appreciated. I was one of those "doubters" that was dragged kicking and screaming into the whole subject of "power delivery". Now, it's safe to say, I didn't just drink the... | |
| Thumper’s Mother I can’t overstate the value "little" forums like this one. People coming together to share common links and connections is unappreciated and undervalued. We learn and share from each. But, we also have the opportunity show our humanity in a world ... | |
| Shouldn’t Do This, but… You might try telling your landlord that plugging your fingers in a live wall socket is part of a ritual you perform weekly, and your fingers won’t fit in the provided sockets. When they look at your dazzed and confused, you could come back with: ... | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts The latest version of a decades-old theme. It's worth the "click" just to read the "features" of the shirt. No BS Earlier versions of the shirt (I have several) display artwork of Klipsch speakers with the word "Bullshit" encrypted down low on ... | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts Okay, here’s another: Klipsch Sorry my images don’t automatically "pop" up. The combination of a vintage computer and/or crusty user makes it so. @asvjerry Really like the "If you took Cat Stevens and Pete Townshend and tossed them in a blend... | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts @boxcarman Found it!! Darwin Blown Away T-Sthirt Again, this was just a concept and never produced. | |
| The Horror Similar, but different situation (as an audio dealer): Attended a recital of the national champion Polish string quartet. The acoustics were wonderful in the room, and about 47 seconds into the performance, I hated every speaker we sold. Began ... | |
| A day in the life of an audiophile Woke up, got out of bed, wrapped the Shokz headphones around my head. | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? @tablejockey Sawdust and sand added as bonding compounds in vitamins are "natural ingredients." | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? I eat peanut brittle while listenting to my system. That nasty peak in the 2k-4k range just goes away. Cheaper than an outboard equalizer. | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts @travelinjack The aging, deteriorating "Blown Away" shirt is hilarious!! Haven't seen that one. @boxcarman Funny. Would love to see the shirt. I developed, but never published, a similar Darwin concept with the end point being the "Blown Aw... | |
| Selling, donating or giving away a good pair of vintage speakers @rhg88 I can understand your attraction to these speakers. Big, bold cabinets. Lots of drivers ready to get the air (and music) moving about the room. As a speaker geek (I own a speaker patent) my guess is that the speakers were just a bit on th... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? I have bragging rights to a 4’ section of the closet that is "dedicated" to my duds -- mostly themed T-shirts such as: "Real Cars Don’t Shift Themselves". Otherwise, we have a "shared" space. I do have an understanding wife who tolerates 6’-4" Alp... |
