| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @fredapplegate @secretguy Gents, The premise asserts that the automotive aftermarket is alive and well, producing great results, and the "audio performance aftermarket" is non-existent.

| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @aubbrin570 I got involved in drag racing at a time when AA Fuel Dragsters were just breaking 200MPH in the quarter mile. Now, guys drive their cars to the tracks and go faster than that. 1,000HP "at the wheels" is not a rarity in "daily drive... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @moto_man It’s not very useful sometimes to take a "logical" approach to "illogical" purchases. Emotions are intangible, and if we’re trying to make the math work, we’re going to be left scratching our heads. Big receivers were the "big block Che... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @fraterperdurabo Your post deserves a "yes" on all points. It's interesting what a 5 cent investment can make replacing the D-clip with an O-ring to keep the idler wheel in place on an old turntable. My topic focuses on the lack of maturity in ... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @jssmith Glad your still loving the music produced by your old gear. In your case, I wouldn't touch it either. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @secretguy @jasonbourne52 "If changing an interconnect or power cord brought a real sonic improvement it would be a wonderful world indeed! Alas ..." What a wonderful world we live in! | |

| Shave your CDs My curiousity got the best of me, so I ordered one of these a few years ago. The improvements were immediate and impactful. I know the term "sounds more analog" is overused, but does apply here. It made me aware the those littlle computers inside ... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Hey, guys. Thanks for the great posts. It occurred to me that we’ve been "hot rodding" audio for quite some time. We’ve been demoting OEM cables and storing them in their original shipping containers and replacing them with premium cables for qu... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @fynnegan Good point. If memory serves me correctly, wasn't there fairly recent case an American brand whose name was high offensive to another culture, thus creating a name change? | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @rar1 Well stated, sir. "You have modernized it to some degree, so it is not vintage anymore." Our thoughts are in alignment here. As I stated in one of the posts, when you take a nibbler to the back panel of something, there’s no going back. Mo... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @wsrrsw So, can I assume then that someone who's system is maxxed out on these components as "Full of Schiit?" | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? @4krowme Congrats on the "fix" the Schiit. Makes me happier than a pig in .... I've also found new life in O-rings and use them for a variety of uses. They come in handy to replace D-clips on mechanical devices provided the stress on them is not... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? @seikosha Not sure I would call it "simple", but the items you mentioned are certanly a factor. Manufacturers are very concerned about reliablity and serviceably -- as they should be. They also have to be concerned with "balance" which to say the ... |
