| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @rbertalotto You're missing the point. The poster made a very poor analogy. But I have also previously linked to a speaker video that is very well recorded, and does indeed give a good feel for the quality of the component. Of course a fair com... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! It is all noise, nothing but....just like with pictures and colors on your monitor. lol! Never mind that professional photographers use their (yes, typically well-calibrated) computer monitors to process and fine tune their images prior to prin... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? You’re welcome. First, I have a low media sideboard between the speakers, and a large flat-screen TV on the wall. Neither are optimal, but with some movement of the sideboard away from the wall, there was a small improvement. For serious listenin... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? Hi @weebeesdad It just so happens that I can offer some insight into your situation. I recently moved into a newly refurbished old house, and while the room in which I listen is decent sized, I have no choice but to place the KIMS along the long... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? In case anyone is interested, I have now owned a pair of KIM for several months, and am very happy with them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! | |
| Not a good week for Drummers: Fred White, Earth, Wind & Fire drummer, dead at 67 My favorite band when in HS/college in the '70s. Great live shows, as well. RIP | |
| Another cable question I use a Kimber KS 2120 AES/EBU digital cable to connect my Aqua La Scala DAC to my C.E.C. TL-5 CD transport, and am very happy with it. They are above your budget new, but perhaps in the ballpark used. I have a very revealing system, but there is... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Apologies to all! Because the Wolf von Langa videos are "back-to-back", I somehow posted the same url for both in my initial post. This is the one that demonstrates the field-coil drivers so well - please give it a listen! Wolf von Langa field c... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Yes, we can easily decern over the internet, the cry of a lion to that of an elephant......But Higher End HiFi gear....PLEASE!!! @rbertalotto I have provided links to a graphic demonstration of (well-recorded) sound emanating from high-class,... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Its not about bit rate… its about the recording microphone being used and the playback equipment on the other end. No way on Gods green earth can anyone accertain anything from these videos. The first sentence is the key point, but the second i... | |
| Rose colored memories Dahlquist DQ 10 (as well), Magnepan Tympani speakers, original Bryston 4b amp, Apt-Holman pre-amp (it was excellent!), Nakamichi 600 cassette deck... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Well, since we're two pages in and nobody has mentioned either of these two, I feel compelled to do so: Cécile McLorin Salvant (Woman Child) Karrin Allyson (In Blue) | |
| Power cable dilemma ALL I ASKED WAS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE THAT POWER CORD TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE A QUANTUM LEAP IN THE LAST 5 YEARS I understand your frustration, but the obvious answer is no, which is why the contributions seem tangential. Hell, there isn't even empiri... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? I'm pleasantly surprised to see Mary Stallings mentioned twice already! She is also one of my favorites, but I thought that she was a bit 'under the radar'. Hard to confine it to three, of course, but I'll work around that with my three favorite ... | |
| RIP Thom Bell Absolute legend. Right on. Backstabbers by the O’Jays, and The Spinners’ I’ll Be Around, among other classics. I was in high school at the time, so they bring back lots of memories. RIP Here's a link to an excellent "oral history" of The Sou... |
