HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? @calvinj Taking the question: "have you ever made a cable change that opened up your system to new heights?", my response has to be "too many to count." As a dealer for 40+ years, I have to admit that I had a little larger "toy box" than most to... | |
Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted Sad. And, disappointing. I’m certain that Mac is not particularly happy with their level of service, but scarcity of technical resources may be the issue. Let’s face it, given the choice of career paths of mature young people today "fixing other ... | |
Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? @audio_bidder I think some "creative marketing" with a litthe 4th grade math might be helpful here. Instead of dollars per day, perhaps provide a little more granularity into the equation. Cost per complete album, song, or bass riff, rim shot?... | |
Favorite scream in rock? The day that Don Henley and Glenn Fry told Don Felder: "Sorry dude, but you’re no longer an Eagle." | |
Favorite scream in rock? My throat is feeling harsh and scratchy all of a sudden. Going to sip on some nice, soothing mint tea. Be right back ... | |
YOUR AUDIOPHILE JOURNEY WHEN DID IT START AND HOW DID YOU GET TO YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? @calvinj Glad you're reaching out and helping others. Good for you (and, them)! Knowing there are lawyers on this post, I tried my best not to perjure myself (too badly). I intentionally left out my days of assembling and installing sound sys... | |
All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? Great posts, guys! Interesting how things cycle back their beginnings. Fruitwood consoles gave way to "components" which peaked at massive hardware (and physical media) taking up a measurable amount of the available real estate in our homes. Then... | |
YOUR AUDIOPHILE JOURNEY WHEN DID IT START AND HOW DID YOU GET TO YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? It, literally, started for me at age 5. My dad was showing off his new Admiral dual chassis, 12" 4-way system and was conducting an experiment. How many houses away can we get and still hear the stereo? I believe the correct answer was "4." It be... | |
«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato They say: "A joke isn't very good if you have to explain it." Same with music/genres? Just asking. | |
To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @hilde45 I couldn't have said it better myself. No, really, I couldn't have. Well done. Happy New Year | |
It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You? @livinon2wheels All the above | |
«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @frogman "That’s actually pretty funny. Well done. 😊" Thank you. | |
«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato As a young adult, I was wandering around aimlessly. Then, the message from The Beatles -- Come Together added clearity and purpose to my life. I've enjoyed a long and prosperous carerer in underground ballon navigation, and never looked back. | |
How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @livinon2wheels Good product choices. Great bang for the buck. I have also "retired" from racing. My favorite ride is not my quickest, but "makes good noises" when I get on it. @kerrybh "More than one thing can be true at a time." I love ... | |
«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato An "entertainer" recently suggested that the goal of entertainment is to "create a common culture." Whille this may not be true in an ideological sense, it is certainly true from a return on investment sense. 500,000,000 plays? It doesn’t require ... |
