| Paul is Done I saw a show from the Paul and Sting tour a few years ago and everybody was great live. Danced my a** off partly due to the open bar (a "box" at the Boston venue), but recently I was listening to my original copy old Vinyl of his first solo album,... | |
| chinese counterfeitng Manufacturing quality is not country specific, It’s quality control specific. Are Hegel amps crap? Why not? Perhaps because somebody is making sure they’re not. American car makers started making utterly awful cars decades ago which opened the doo... | |
| Best tube dampers that you have used I understand that wrapping thin strips of meat around your tubes may seem messy, but this will both damp the tubes and cook the meat. Win win. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? The most recent great sounding speakers I’ve owned do measure perfectly flat, if measuring the outside cabinet walls, all of which are perfectly flat except the speaker baffle that has the speakers stuck into it...flat...all flat. Note that the cu... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? Clearthink, by editing out most of my post and adding your own somewhat desperately formed screed regarding how you imagine I might feel, you've shown yourself to be incapable of a relevant response to my comment or any understanding of other comm... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? The strange world of hifi tweaks dismissed reason, facts, and truth the minute it was discovered that desperate hobbyists would buy anything that was packed with enough hyperbole, regardless of whether it worked or not. This phenomena predates the... | |
| Klipsch Forte IIIs vs. Heresy III with a sub The Batphone just rang...clearly I relish any opportunity to blather about Heresy IIIs...I listened to the new version Fortes at around the same time I was auditioning the Heresy IIIs, and although the Fortes are a somewhat unique design they do s... | |
| Schitt Freya problem or Jolida amp problem? I read something about that a while back, but can’t remember where...I haven’t noticed it on my Freya as I no longer own a balanced input hifi amp (sold my Joilda 502P when I bought a Dennis Had SEP, and although that model Jolida wasn’t actually ... | |
| Audio for the Young - Noho Sound Some "youngish" people around have shown interest in Uturn Audio, a local company that makes well designed and relatively inexpensive stuff. A good sign. | |
| Best tube dampers that you have used Uh, Kaitty, you can't "overdamp" the glass of a tube...Capish? I guess you're not much of a reality or comprehension guy. | |
| Best tube dampers that you have used Putting a tube damper on tubes may or may not have an effect on sound (If a tube seems microphonic, replace it), but the point of them is obviously to damp vibration and stomp out the dreaded (by some, not me) microphonics which can possibly chew ... | |
| Audio for the Young - Noho Sound Having a decent stereo rig (or any stereo rig) was the only option years ago, and if you wanted something small you might buy a little KLH radio. What I'm mainly talking about is the sad fact that high end audio generally doesn't know how to get o... | |
| Audio for the Young - Noho Sound Audiophiles have ALWAYS been a tiny minority of hobbyists relative to the general population, and audio "salons" generally do exactly zero to change that fact. Zero. Using actual live music to draw people in? Heresy I say! Once you expose a bunch ... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS It's also possible to charge nothing for the item you're selling, provide free shipping, and charge $2,000 for Paypal fees. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? I worked at "Wave Waikiki" off and on with various bands for years, and it was by far the best place to play, with amazing sound...they had early Mark Levinson amps for the bass bins (!). I listen to a lot of modern (and not so modern) jazz dudes... |
