| Why on earth? Dog breeders post videos of adorable little puppies, frolicking around doing "puppy stuff" as if an amateur video will incapsulate a valid representation of the essence and personality of the puppy. Some people have the ability to visit the breede... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? Since most "glossy" speakers use a high quality automotive finishes, the same rules would apply. As one poster suggested, a "quick detailer" and microfiber cloth should do the trick for general maintenance. Just be careful of overspray. Your raw ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? This brings me to a question I’ve considered submitting as a topic for the group: This is an "audiophile" forum made up of individuals (in most cases) with vast experience(s) in auditioning, evaluating, and commenting on those observations. Tryii... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24 Thanks, once again, for the deep dive into music and those who make it possible to enjoy great performances in our homes. As much as I enjoy technical conversations about Litz inductors (and, flux capacitors), these conversations are ref... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It I’m going to go way out on a limb here and say that 100% of the membership of this group enjoys (quality) music. Live music. Reproduced music in our listening rooms. Showers. In our vehicles during our commutes. On the water. Under the water. In t... | |
| What's your experience with Channel Separation? @erik_squires Yes, the channel separation would be nearly infinite in that case. | |
| What's your experience with Channel Separation? After decades of experience and careful analysis, I’ve determined that the measurable channel separation of a "typical" audiophile headphone is ... the width of your head. | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often I think a little historical perspective may be helpful here? There have been many cases where the "in house" driver was "the thing". The home-grown technology was the differentiator. Pioneers of electrostatic, ribbons, AMTs, etc. placed them on t... | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Aesthetics were very important to me when I met my current wife of 30 years. Her, not so much. I win. On the subject of audio. I’ve owned great-sounding (to me) gear over the years that was so ugly it looked like it has been ate by a coyote and s... | |
| Why Do You Listen? A Poll Question Survey Monkey is a great polling app. It’s free BUT does require a premium subscription to exceed 50 responses. About $100 annually. I did a survey here recently and paid for it out of pocket. It was worth the investment. Would be nice if A’G... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? Home theater: There are some good story tellers out there that have something interesting to convey. Seeing the accumulation of the effects of talented writers, casting, directors, lighting, makeup, sound, etc. who can "pull off" delivering the s... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? We have a lake home on a golf course. I don’t fish or play golf. Neither pulled me in as a participant, or spectator. But, I do like touring around lake in my golf cart, and my evening escursions on UBL (the Ugliest Boat on the Lake). But, quite ... | |
| Who to trust when buying vintage ss ? @tonydennison This falls into the "good problem to have" catagory. A friend wants your advice on how to begin his/her hifi journey. Sure beats someone seeking advice on prostate surgery. I can follow your logic here. You want to recommend somet... | |
| People Who Affest Electronics Yes. And every time I try to use the microwave I piss my pants. | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red @normb "Well, if it makes you feel better, the warehouse/hub guys were playing soccer with it, so the simple drop from waist high is the least of the G-forces it’s encountered." +1 I was thinking something similar. Just not as witty. This is ... |
