| Music I would succumb to under torture John Mayer - his 'Daughters' sounds like someone took the drone note from bagpipes and flattened it by the most painful possible interval. It makes me lunge to change channels on the radio instantly. | |
| Dealer Behavior I've had great experiences in Central PA at HiDef Lifestyle (for Rega and Dali) in Harrisburg and BEK (for Spendor) in Allentown. HiDef lined up several speakers I was interested in, and I had a room to myself while I listened through a CD I'd cu... | |
| The Science of Vinyl/Analog Setups @millercarbon eloquently put | |
| We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong @cd318 I take your point about Rega speakers, I bought an all Rega system (P3, Elex-R, DAC-R) so needed a speaker tuned to BBC monitor profile to work with them (Harbeth, Spendor, ATC) and opted for the Spendor A4 because it is a small-ish room.Th... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? @hifiman5 we also live in a 200 year old farmhouse in Lancaster Co, PA (Stevens, PA). One neighbor is Amish and the other is a 35'er (which as you probably know are even more conservative and strict than the Amish). | |
| Audiophile USB Type-C to Type-C Hi Erik, Thanks. I'd tried that search on Amazon, Google, plus a number of well known audio dealers. I had emailed the area rep for AQ and was impressed to get a response incide an hour. He contacted their product dev who got back with the update:... | |
| WiFi extender needed for residence? Another option when you can't run a cable is to use a mesh network - our house has very thick internal stone walls that are a nightmare for wifi; I use a series of daisy-chained google mesh stations to get the signal to where it needs to be. Th... | |

| The invention of measurements and perception @geoffkait if you're still searching for that lost chord, I'm sure khosst can measure exactly which one it is | |
| The invention of measurements and perception These discussions remind me of analagous discussion in epistemology except the study of listening is much easier than the studying of reading because a music listener doesn't have to think about the worldviews of the composer, intended audience, a... | |
| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) I've just been discussing this same question my local dealer but with an upper limit of 1k (Rega Exact vs 2M Black), the other one in this range I really want to hear is The Vessel R3SMhttps://www.lpgear.com/product/THEVESSELR3SM.html | |
| Why so many used focals? @kosst_amojan1 I listened to both the 926 and 936 and have photos from that session to remember what I did. My test CD was burnt with tracks ranging from Missa Papae Marcelli, through Jennifer Warnes, Adele, Bob Dylan, Kings of Leon, and Pearl Jam... | |
| Why so many used focals? I haven't heard the higher end Focals but the entry level Focals did not impress me. I listened side by side to: Focal Aria 936, Dali Opticon 8 (ugly brutalist looks), Dalia Fazon F5, Monitor Audio Gold 300, and Golden Ear (can't remember which). ... | |
| An audiophilic music lovers Christmas! My youngest daughter gave me The Lumineers Cleopatra LP, older daughter gave Naxos CD of Missa Pappae Marcelli by the Oxford Camerata. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I have really appreciated @elizabeth 's comments on how you listen on this thread. I recently replaced my entire system after a lot of A/B testing at a dealer who left me alone in the room to listen but when I got it all home I wasn't happy, I was... |
