| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! What you say jibes very well with my unusual experience. It was on Christmas Eve when we had deep snow and 0 temps. My system sounded so good that I stayed up all night listening.Without a doubt it's "The power grid"; meaning the broader power g... | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? Without any reference point, this is a tower of "Babel"; it's like asking the question; "How far is it from here to Chicago". Where is here? If we don't know that, what's the point of the question.I suggested a reference point that I know is val... | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? Inna, if I was rolling in dough, I wouldn't buy a 10K power cord, and since I'm scientifically inclined, I would not even buy a 1K power cord; where's the science? | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? In order for a question of this nature to have any meaning, reference points will have to be established; at least one well known reference point is the "Stereophile rating". I have subscribed to "Stereophile" for years, and I consider their rati... | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? 30 years ago, I walked into a high end emporium and heard audio "holography", just recently I acquired it. This is the point of diminishing returns; it's impossible to put a dollar figure on getting where I am, that's because money and knowledge ... | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. Prof, it was drudgery, but that was the only way to get it right. Now I find it hard to read a magazine in the listening room when music is playing because I'm so drawn to the music. | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz Yes I'm into vinyl to the extent that I no longer care for CD's; only use them to determine what records to buy. An entry level table is a waste of money.I would not advise anyone to get into vinyl, because of the headache and expense. I was col... | |
| Tube or solid state I agree with noromance, except for the selection of the moving magnet cartridges. Although we are in agreement as to MM cartridges, I prefer different brands, and here is where you should not rely on someone else's taste, but carefully determine ... | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. One must spend years listening to the equipment, until they get it right; I spent time listening to "speaker wire" and then I went from there to "interconnects", next SS amps as opposed to tube.I decided at the beginning that I wanted a speaker th... | |
| Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100? There was something special about Sansui Tuners that I could never identify, but I liked them the best. | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl Dynaquest, I recorded all my vinyl to R2R tape; consequently, I no longer do all the cool stuff that you mentioned, I only enjoy a higher quality audio.When CD's came out, everyone except audiophiles in HEA, thought the same as you; including me.W... | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. The vices we had in our youth are almost forgotten memories that can be triggered by music.My thesis is that the intensity of the memory is dependent on the quality and intensity of the music; the ultimate rig would bring back the memory associate... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) Millercarbon, every thing in the USA is in decline since 1960: I visited Detroit in 1965, and it was the most elegant city I have ever been to; it seems everyone drove a new car, and dressed in the latest quality fashions.The first time I experien... | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. Black light posters, bongs, and "head shops"; where one was met by the sweet fragrance of incense; where those of one mind could debate the merits of various Turkish pipes; I remember it as if it was yesterday, with all of those black light poster... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Falconquest, I looked over the reviews and specs on your speakers; they sound good, and if I had a spare 5K, I would give them a try. BTW, that's a good price for what they claim to deliver; which is holography that doesn't necessitate a lot of e... |
