| Want to get into Analog I have been listening to records since I was born (over 70 years ago), and then CD's came along; good bye, and good riddance noisy records.Now records have been re-discovered. No, what has been discovered is records + high end audio. Records wit... | |
| Your favorite male soul voices The most fascinating aspect of this music, is the fact that it was the soundtrack of our lives no matter where we were; we could go from Chicago, to Detroit, and then to Atlanta, and still hear the same music; they were even listening to it in Vie... | |
| Want to get into Analog A few years ago, serious and learned audiophiles had a debate as to what price point that analog exceeded digital, and we arrived at 3K. Since that was a few years ago, it must be at 4K now.Once money is spent, it can not be "un-spent". When som... | |
| Want to get into Analog mrpostfire, you don't have enough money for what you seek, and that is the "vinyl mystique" many of us are enjoying. I've read the recommendations, and if you followed them, you would be buying someone else's junk, without sufficient knowledge to ... | |
| Want to get into Analog Reel to reel is not as expensive as you might think. While I only recommend new TT and Cartridge; a good used reel that has been refurbished can be as good as new.Believe it or not, when you guys who like to "stream", record that music on a 2 tra... | |
| Want to get into Analog I lived with Snap, Crackle, and Pop, all the way up to the advent of CD, 40 years later.Wow, no Snap, Crackle and Pop; these CD's are amazing. Later on, some guy who was into the high end, said "What's the big deal"? He didn't tell me that his c... | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? Joe, after a number of parties over the years, some of those albums were not in the best shape; I'm still replacing old albums with new ones, plus, older audiophiles are well aware of the fact that only a "hi-end" analog rig can beat their digital... | |
| My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer. Musicians spend their entire lives learning how to play their respective instruments, and then they get with other musicians who are compatible to make music; when all are satisfied they lay down tracks of recordings.You buy this music, and screw ... | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? Hi end analog is still expensive, and I wouldn't give you 2 cents for low end analog, but they're still trying to turn a sows ear into a silk purse, or something like that.It seems to me, everyone is trying to lure people into buying records and r... | |
| Want to get into Analog Reality is whatever the majority on this forum say it is, unless you are a realist. | |
| Want to get into Analog I "vociferously" reject Frogman's comments. Ask yourself; "Why did the millions of people who owned record players and records before CD go exclusively to CD?"The answer is quite simple; CD's sound much better than records played on even good "mi... | |
| My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer. Only someone who is not an audiophile would ask such a question. Do you want to hear the band, or do you want to be in the band? Maybe the bass drums not loud enough; "Think I'll just turn it up a bit". "I do not like the tone and timbre of tha... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** It seems you're under the illusion that there is something special about vinyl; that only happens if you're committed to putting in the money and effort to getting the best out of an analog rig.Plug and play is a waste of money; when it comes to v... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I compliment you for submitting the exquisite LP "Angel Eyes". Currently I'm 100% into "new vinyl" so I have to take what little is available, but I'm searching for that one.It seems we're "simpatico" when it comes to the 50's and 60's jazz... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception Erik, when I was in "mid-fi" Harmon and Bose were my favorites, but after I got into "hi-end", everything changed; meaning more objective than subjective, and I don't regret it.I know you remember "graphic equalizers"; they were the thing in my Ha... |
