| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I did own a Lamborghini (a 6.0 Diablo in Rosso Vik over snow corn with exposed carbon fibre wing) and can tell you:1. The kind of women that wanted you to take them away were not very appealing to me (I'm married, so it is a moot point anyway);2. ... | |
| Help returning an Allnic H1500 SE II phono stage What were the tubes used in this model originally purposed for? My recollection was that the E810F in the H3000 was meant for telephony switching, and was not originally intended for audio, which is why it's an offbeat tube- not expensive, but not... | |
| Help returning an Allnic H1500 SE II phono stage I have the H3000- your best bet, depending on where in the world you are located, is to contact the authorized factory/distributors. Albert Porter is US (maybe all of North America). I bought the oddball tubes for the H3000 on Ebay as well and hav... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I just wish Idiocracy had been a better movie. The concept was fantastic, wasn't it? (present company--me--not excluded). Sometimes, I feel like we're all getting dumber.... Respectfully, | |
| I admit it, I get skin orgasms. I never thought of "goosebumps" as skin orgasms, but ok, I can be moved by music to the point of a strong emotional reaction- sometimes one that does manifest itself in physical feelings, "goosebumps" being one of them. To me, much has to do with ... | |
| Obscure bands +1 rwwear! | |
| Obscure bands I don't think Steve Wilson is obscure, but love his work- i think he is a genius on many levels. I was never into death metal, but the remix of Opeth's Damnation- natural vocals, long form "prog" with good melodic hooks that keeps morphing--is one... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Russbutton: But if it weren't for those "anal-rententive people with too much money... [who] KNOW they are entitled..." you wouldn't benefit from the trickle down in the used market, would you?I've benefitted, as you have, from the used high-end m... | |
| We Get Requests info please sbank- i did not see this release listed in that discogs list, did you? | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Calvin- don't lose faith. You don't have to feel that way- this hobby can still be fun and lot's of good used gear, DIY, interesting stuff if you are willing to invest the time. The music- yeah, that's really the purpose, but we tend to rationaliz... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Pretty cogent overview there, E-Slacker. | |
| We Get Requests info please Found something that said it was done in 1995 but no real info behind that. I can send you a link to what I found, it may have been an advert for it. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? calvinj- I agree that younger listeners aren’t listening to the same "playlist" of geezer-pleasers, but they pick and choose- they may be doing metal (that seems to be the guy-rock of the 20 and 30 somethings) but every once in a while, a question... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? The hobby is fragmented into many different segments. If I can use a car analogy for a sec, there are the antiquarian types (think vintage Bugatti, pre-war, similar to the WE horn crowd); the high dollar bling- modern Ferrari, Lambo whatever (give... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? @dgarretson: Right you are. I made provision in my will for this-- the disposition of gear and record collection. My wife knows enough people to reach out to them if necessary, but it is an issue as we age. I don’t have kids, and have no misconcep... |
