| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? I want to be carlsbad when I grow up. Speaking of "good noises". My '66 Sunbeam Tiger with hand-built 347 stroker motor sounds like a pro stocker when I get on the gas. Music to my ears. And, I'm 72 and still wear the same size pants as... | |
| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton This is of my top 10 favorite posts. Need more like this one. Well done, Spencer. | |
| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton Yes, but was the bulb/lamp the correct color temperature and intensity for the specific application? | |
| Walmart, 97 cents, for Vibration Control Intriquing. But, as a responsible audiophile, I have to be concerned with the resale value of my investments. After a quick review and a failed attempt to find examples of used "fuzzy black strips" on A'Gon, Ebay, etc. it appears that there is ... | |
| 2022 is almost here. Why are you here? In no particular order: Solving "good problems." I define "good problems" as problems we face as a result of our freedom, affluence, or connections with decent people. Having to choose which phono cartridge to upgrade, as an example, in my w... | |
| Distinctly Different Upgrades. Surprisingly Similar Musical Outcomes? That pretty much sums it up. Thanks for your contribution. | |
| Distinctly Different Upgrades. Surprisingly Similar Musical Outcomes? @mahler123 Yes, I can understand the ambiguity of the question. I'll try to do better next time. The broader point is that when we legitimately upgrade something, regardless of piece of hardware/software we insert, we experience something b... | |
| Bully pulpits I once drove by a church reader board that stated: “A good friend stabs you in the front.” This message velcro’d itself to my brain and became a useful tool more than once in my professional and personal lives. Sometimes “good friends” tell you ... | |
| In the beginning It began when a walnut fell out of a tree, hit the ground, made a "thump", then developed a distinct percussive cadence as it rolled down a hill arriving at it's final destination in a pond producing an audible "swish". An individual in a group o... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) Klimt, Very good discussion and great advice from your A'gon friends. I'm going to point the discussion in another direction. I am in total agreement that a modern integrated will offer far superior performance than your Denon receiver. The un... | |
| Desk top speakers at low cost ADS 200s if you want a vintage/classic audio experience. If you're into "newer thinking", the Minx series from Cambridge audio. "Big" small speaker sound. | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Great suggestions above. Looking forward to drilling deep into these.I'd like to add:Kansas City Monarch -- Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters. Nice saxophone and lively piano riffs distinguish good vs great systemsHard Day's Night -- Kings Singer... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? "Tweeks" (long explanation) and sound deadening has made the factory installed stereos in my late model cars much more listenable.I don't have stereos in my old/vintage vehicles:a) can't hear them anyway via wind/road/motor noiseb) want to be able... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi I’d like to take deep breath, pause for a moment and acknowledge this thing called “midfi”. “Midfi” is, by definition, an upgrade over “lowfi”, which is itself an upgrade over “nofi”. A lot of us began this journey with “nofi” and were introduc... | |
