| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... A lot of mental confetti being tossed around here. Valentines Day. Zip ties. Nah, not going to go there. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? It's pretty hard to listen to Edmund Fitzgerald without getting emotional. We like to camp in the Great Lakes area and recently spent some time in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Yes, we camped in Christmas, Michigan. After visiting the area, and t... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus Loudest major concert. Def Leopard Loudest musical event: Sitting a short distance away from the bass amp at a blues club in Chicago. I was desperately trying to poke anything in my ears I could find. Didn't have a cell phone back then, but if ... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @westcoastaudiophile Good questions. I intentionally put the word "audiophile" in parenthesis to indicate an informal reference. "Premium", "well-built", etc would fall into a class of cables of interest to "audiophiles". I am not aware of any ca... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined @mahler123 "It was like having great sex and then having the husband knock on the bedroom door with the stock of his shotgun." I enjoy cutting and pasting quotes from the forums for future reference. Sometimes for the wrong reasons. | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? More thoughts: I agree with a poster that mentioned that product development is mostly "trial and error." The "Hey, lets try THIS and see what happens" may be a common occurrence. So, it sounds better. Now what? Then the task of objective assignm... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Quick story, I’ve been involved in speaker upgrades for many years. After retirement as an audio dealer, my tech of 25 years and I work one day a week trying to keep good, but broken hifi gear from going into the dumpster. We also offer performan... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? @alaskaman You presented me with a real dilemma this morning. I can’t decide which of your quotes to print out, frame, and hang on the wall. | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @phd "If you add an after-market power cord to a component and it makes a positive improvement, then a conspiracy theory is not evident." Okay, then. Case closed? | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @rodman99999 Smart. Relevant. Thanks for sharing. | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl @edcyn "You must lift the vinyl off of the platter, taking into account the sometimes goodly amount of static electricity that has built up between the vinyl and the platter in the meantime." This used to make my hair stand on end. It wasn't u... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? So glad to see so many "fossil units" join in on this discussion. Every time I get around my early-twenties grandson, the 2nd question I ask is: "Have you heard any good music lately?" I make good notes (no pun intended) in my notes app and do a... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? @jcoehler . Noted. And, thank you. | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? @ebm "This thread says absolutely NOTHING!!!" Okay then, let me take a another whack at it. Someone with extensive experience with high performance audio, ventures into the world of the "unknown" and installs something NEW in his system. He le... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? @ghdprentice In my younger days, I could go to the drag strip and differentiate the burnt exhaust smell of nitro, alcohol, or high octane pump gas. Does that count? |
