| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… Congratulations, @hchilcoat , and thank you for your interesting impressions. I've never heard your speakers, but on the basis of some quick research, they appear to be excellent. I wouldn't worry at all about any differences between the A200 and... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Good post, @bubba_buoy ! It’s remarkable how many members are conflating a dislike of something, no matter how strong, with validity. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @stuartk Thanks for your honest re-appraisal. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Garcia asserted Rap is not music because it lacks two of the three essential qualities of music-- melody and harmony. In his view, rhythm (the third quality) alone does not constitute "music" and I agree. It's grossly inaccurate to suggest th... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? As @larsman said – unquestionably "valid". And for those interested, here is an excellent documentary that is well worth watching: Rick Rubin: The Invisibility of Hip Hop's Greatest Producer Among many other remarkable achievements, Rubin resur... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs re: Dave and troy Given that the OP quite clearly described his interest in just two brands, I find it off-putting that you would barge in and attempt to denigrate one of them with a comparison to one that you happen to sell. I don't doubt that... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC 1 Mk.V FWIW, I owned its predecessor, the EMC 1 UP, for many years, and was thoroughly pleased. Very high quality build and sound. | |
| Unfiltered Power Bars I bought one of these used for ~$500, and have been very happy with it: Isotek EVO Sirius Interestingly, it made a startling difference with video, but also seems to have reduced noise in my stereo system. | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components You're disappointed in me? lmao! What further context than an image showing the internal construction of a product leaving members to make their own minds up as to the value is required ? The value of the design, as evidenced by how the produc... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components You really are obtuse. I'm saying that posting a photo of the innards of a product, and, without further context, suggesting that it is therefore overpriced, is dumb. There is far more important and compelling evidence on this thread supporting t... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components I don’t know how many different ways that I need to say this, but simply cutting open such a product and posing that question is a waste of everyone’s time. The product works well, and better than those of most of its competitors. Trying to dispa... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components @tsushima1 That isn’t a serious method of critiquing a product. There is a member on this very thread who has impressively demonstrated the measurable differences between a variety of such devices, and the Townshend are among the best. Now, if ... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components I’m with Miller on this one. tsushi’s repeated attempts to disparage the product are ridiculous, and the photos ostensibly used to support his position reflect poorly on him, not the manufacturer. | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? I thought to myself hmm, I have a $5000.00 DAC. But I drive a four year old Honda, don't have motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV's, expensive watches, a second car, club memberships etc. It's where I choose to spend my money. Who cares! Yes, this is... | |
| Mark Levinson 380S It isn't RECD OFF that is the issue (which is indeed displayed when I go into Record Select Mode), but PH 4 OFF (which is displayed in Monitor Mode.) Yes, I appreciate that, but was wondering whether the same basic sequence of button pushing mi... |
