| How a turntable is like a gym membership Issues with "anal" behavior in an audiophile forum is like noting narcissism in a Hair and Makeup forum. If your turntable makes you uptight you really need to get out more. Deep breath...ahhh...There is an anachronistic "reel to reel" rebirth see... | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership It is funny to me that anybody would have issues these days with the hastle of vinyl since digital streaming and/or CDs obviate those issues...simply said, if you don't want to fool around with vinyl, DON'T! If you have a lot of LPs like I do you ... | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership I still use the word "groovy", I've been a musician/recording tech for over 40 years, and I love my Linn. I like digital also...and I wonder...why does this stuff have to be mutually exclusive? I'm too lazy to "digitize" all my vinyl, so I have fu... | |
| Would you pay to listen? If an audio dealer wanted to check my credit before letting me listen to THINGS THEY WERE TRYING TO GET ME TO BUY, they would never again see me or my hard earned money. Is there some weird cult of salespeople worship going on here? At a fave muse... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Yo Mitch4t...my day job is Comedy Writer. And I would pay $20 to watch people scurry around wiring up a 200K system I've designed for them to assemble for me. That in itself would be worth it..."little to the left there Bob...and don't forget the ... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Mitch4t...Wow...that one just steamed right by ya! Sorry though. I do have trouble with the practice of any form of mirth control. However, I suppose humorous or satirical writing has NO place in an audio forum and from now on I promise to be drea... | |
| Would you pay to listen? I think "whoring out" a high end audio system turns the owners into "audio pimps." Sleezy back door deals would be made..."OK Bob...10 bucks and you can hear the intro to Mahler's 8th and THAT'S IT pal!" "Hey there mister...wanna come in for some ... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Balloons. Bad spelling is part of my charm. | |
| Would you pay to listen? Dealers who would encourage limiting their customer base in ANY WAY, either with an elitist attitude or fees, I would consider insane and clearly not interested in staying in business. Having seen a lot of high end audio places die over the last s... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Few retail businesses have the potential "snoot factor" that "High End Audio SALONS" can have. I've spent bundles of cash in the ones who merely treat me with courtesy and professionalism and laugh at the others. That said, if the "salon" wants to... | |
| Would you pay to listen? For clarification: "Paid that dub" means one has provided financing for dialog editing in a film or audio recording. "Hundred thousand system moved" means the writer had mistakenly parked his used Bentley on the stage at the Hollywoood Bowl and hi... | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp Update...Jon Soderberg's latest email says the 55 was the LAST thing they made at Forte', and it was a run of maybe 100 amps. Explains the lack of info. | |
| Would you pay to listen? Do what I did...having been a musician for many years I volunteered to help with the sound for a monthly "folkie" concert series in a town I moved to in 1999...this lead to my designing their system and then running it for 9 years (this also lead ... | |
| Resolving amps Revesaling is almost as important as revealing. | |
| Resolving amps My Forte' Audio Model 55 seems to work with my Silverline Preludes to provide the best imaging and resolution I can remember (can I remember imaging?...hmmm). Single wired sounds better than bi. I've owned, among other piles of stuff, Vandersteens... |
