| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @raam Rick, I want to be more like you when I grow up. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @lancelock Good for you. And, thanks for the (highly) relevant post. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @tablejockey "If one has a Marantz model 7 preamp, 8B amp and 10B tuner, you do not even think about "modding" it. Same with Mac." I couldn't agree more. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @ketchup Yep, Tom's Camaro is brutal. A little story: A stock-appearing early Nova showed up at our local track (St. Louis area). 2-tone, white over black, baby moons. Everything fit under the factory wheel wells. The car was so cute you jus... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @audition__audio "In no way can older cars compete with the newer "super" cars. Same, I say, with audio although the difference in this realm is not as great as in the automotive." You are correct, sir. My comments relate only to the (measurab... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @jallan "New semiconductor designs, new capacitor designs, new precision resistors, new wire designs, better understanding of micro phonics and vibration control, etc. etc." I totally agree with that statement. How much of this technology can ... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @jkf011 @holmz I love the smell of hot rebuttals in the morning. Those "WTF" and "nonsense" moments pair well with coffee. Unapologetically using yet another car analogy for a moment, maybe we should downshift and drop our speed down a bit before... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @bruce19 You might be on to something. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @danager First off, you are correct in your assertion that vintage cars in their best factory stock form cannot compete with today's offerings. I recall an article a while back where the most "bad ass" car of the 50's -- the Chrysler 300, was com... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @roxy54 "I personally upgraded or replaced most of the important parts of my McIntosh 2105 amp, including better input jacks and modern WBT speaker terminals, and it sounds better than several other amps that I've tried.' It sounds like we're i... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @bigtwin Okay, I’ll see if I can save a little crediblity here. Tom Bailey’s "street legal" ’69 Camaro ran a best of 6.73 @ 210.83 MPH in the 1/4 mile last year at Hot Rod’s Drag Week, and he drove the car home. The Bugatti Chiron runs a (very im... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @4krowme My Audio Desk CD cutter is my CD's best friend. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @gdnrbob I agree. When the "total package" is considered, there's little argument that well-designed late model cars are the winner. It depends on the objectives, I suppose. And when you narrow the scope you can focus time (and, money) or specif... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @edcyn You nailed it! And, yes, drag racing and competition car audio have not been kind to my ears. | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? Recently (past 5 years) some cable manufacturers have incorporated "newer thinking" in their power cable designs. These have, in some cases, resulted in a 2x improvement in performance vs cost. Even considering cable prices increases of 40% (or,... |
