| What? No Norah Jones New CD Thread? Certainly not from me: B-O-R-I-N-G (including, I have no doubt, the de rigueur pristinely antiseptic studio sound). Kinda cute though I suppose, and that's usually enough for middle-aged male audiophiles when it comes to breathy young female vocal... | |
| Interconnect - Does short length hinder sound? Good grief, how is it that you've found "several" dealers willing to feed you this kind of crap in order to help nothing but their bottom lines? Is it really that bad out there these days? Forget the wacky explanations you've been offered by these... | |
| Is there an audible difference using peripherals Agree with Plato, and also with Russ about the relevence of quoting the very meaningless manufacturer's distortion specs. Do what sounds best to you, but if it doesn't help the sound appreciably, you're technically probably better off without it. ... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? "Come to think of it, she may have included it in "Dolly Parton's biggesthits""Albert, I think you put an "h" in that last word which shouldn't have been there... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Shadorne: Think girlfriends/wives of audiophiles get implanted with sonic mammaries? | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Gregm: I imagine a scenario when super high-speed connection bandwidth and device storage capacity have both become commodities, and we're no longer tied to limiting physical disk formats, then service and content providers will look to higher res... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Again, posters like Hfeiner remain intent on conflating the notion of all digital audio with the limited medium of the CD. The question at the top was "Can you imagine a world without vinyl?", not "Can you imagine a world with nothing but CDs?" An... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Johnnantais: You are entertaining and passionate and I enjoy reading your posts. However you are also, please excuse the phrase, a bit full of it, rhetorically speaking. Grandiosity and insinuations that some audiophiles are more equal than others... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? My condolences Albert for the loss of your friend.I want to point out that as this thread has evolved away from the starting topic, IMO many of the posts have too casually equated analog with the LP record and digital with the Red Book CD. I think... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Hey, I'm actually one of those who is capable of enjoying a moderate degree of surface noise on old records of certain musical genres, but not so much with LP's, more so 45's and 78's. And not just noise from uncleanable dust'n'dirt and years of p... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? I'm not sure by their responses that Albert and Raul totally get what I said above. I didn't say anything about the subjective sound of vinyl compared to CD or vice versa, at any limit you care to push the playback envelope, or at any budget, be i... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Newbee gets right what Johnnantais misses in my opinion: It's typically the rabid vinylphiles who exagerate the shortcomings of CDs vs. what average digital-friendly audiophiles usually state about the shortcomings of vinyl.Both formats have their... | |
| Do i/c's on a component affect overall system ? Never experienced what you describe with either power cords or interconnects, but I use a buffered preamp and two-stage system power conditioning with all shielded cables, so I wouldn't expect to. I'd say 'hope that helps', but it won't, so I'll j... | |
| VTL MB-450 B+ Fuse I'd say so. Thanks Albert. | |
| Are you at this point?? ...More evidence many audiophiles should probably learn (actually, relearn) to listen to music instead... |
