| Best $3,000 speaker/amp combo? Lucky for you there is so much great used stuff out there (and in here) that 3 large can do some serious audio damage. A decent integrated with a Squeezebox and some of a seeming plethora of speakers...I found some perfect Silverline Preludes rece... | |
| Would you pay to listen? There are a LOT of humans involved in my stereo...the people who designed the components and sold them (inspired me to buy their stuff) to me are represented well...they aren't in the room with me, but I've been playing for people in clubs, at con... | |
| Would you pay to listen? The level of insulation from the Real World among the Audiophelia (that sounds like a creepy hearing fetish) always mystifies me...I don't think anybody noticed the point I made that high end retail places are awful at attracting new biz...and it ... | |
| portable ipod speakers? Interesting thread as my college age daughter wanted these (claims she blew up her last rig) and the only simple smallish ones with a sub I found are the Klipsch. I ended up giving her an old set of Altec powered sub/sat speakers I had previously ... | |
| 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... |
