| A perfect song? What are your choices? Several have said the "perfect song" is one you never get tired of hearing Mine: Spanish Moon--Little Feat Asking Around For You--Joe Bonamassa That's How Much I Feel: Ambrosia What? How the Heck did this sneak in here? Going to Californ... | |
| Looking for wider soundstage OP--i echo what others have said, particularly @designsfx and @mijostyn . While we can't see most of the side walls you said the speakers are on the long (22') wall instead of the short (17') wall where they should be. @designsfx asked about putt... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... @simonmoon Agree it's just fine and right in line with what you've said. Broken down into its Latin and Greek roots audiophile simply means a "lover of sound"--doesn't mean " lover of sound equipment"...Although reasonably good equipment is gener... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... @mceljo Totally agree but that really hadn't occurred to me at the time b/c i bought the RR cables used for half price (never unboxed according to seller and i'm reasonably sure that was the case) so it didn't matter to me much--if i were buying A... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... @tuberist --that's my standard as well and i feel like i'm there w/ my system--most of the time--ya never know exactly on amplified instruments b/c live you're hearing them through PA speakers so i use acoustic records to judge. @mceljo thanks fo... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... @mceljo thanks for the info--i've been using AQ's Red River IC's for Pre to DAC--which appear to be almost the same cost as Sydney -- i'll go to AQ's site to see what the differences are. My amp came with a 10 awg PC so i haven't changed that out... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... that's probably a fair statement for many audiophiles--but hopefully their goal would be to make music sound, well, more musical ? It's certainly why i focus almost exclusively on live recordings these days and i'm pretty satisfied with the sound... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... Now you've got me curious about the cables--interconnect or speaker and brand? My feeling that i had achieved an "audiophile system" was when i invested enough to have constant "wow" moments of "they are here" or "i am there" on live recordings (... | |
| You know you have audiophile system when... too bad for you since jackhifiguy and others did not respond to the question which was how you know if you have an audiophile system, not whether you're an audiophile or the definition thereof. I liked mikeydee's answer best for humor or maybe ar... | |
| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? teoaudio hit the nail on the head---many, many options. Thorens, Linn both great--when i got back into vinyl i went with a Lenco as my old TT was a Garrard and i wanted an idler arm design--now that i have the Lenco i think their design is better... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? It only takes one person to turn it into one and he's on full display here. However, many/most of the regular posters are not like that and there is a lot of knowledge and experience shared here. I'm surprised the moderators didn't ban the jerk ... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Furthermore, you have completely contradicted what you say is the way you judge audio components--you claim by "listening"---yeet you have never heard Mahgister's system so you are judging solely on looks alone--and apparently have passed that tra... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @insoc -- Thank you for getting this thread back on track--what a derailment! OP - whether you feel like you insulted mahgister or not, as a former judge i would have to rule that you did simply by telling him he needed to get rid of many things ... | |
| Turn off or leave on? My Aesthetix gear specifically instructs to turn off when not in use--i presume to preserve tube life. I'm curious whether other manufacturers give instructions on this as well ? If they don't i would contact them and ask them. | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. @waytoomuchstuff --that video clip was right on point and helped me explain my audio obsession to my wife who is a wine nut. @jackhifiguy Whether or not you are a troll, someone pointed out that you haven't really been here long enough to make ju... |
