| Platter mat insanity noromance, you mis-spelled the names of nearly everyone on that record, and to be honest, whenever someone says "even my non-audiophile wife, (daughter, brother, therapist, et. al).heard the difference", alarm bells go off in my head. | |
| Difference in sound using different carts when digitizing vinyl record? Yes, you will hear a difference, but when you A-B the two digital files, you will be surprised at how minimal the differences are, and how difficult it is to determine which is "better". | |
| The current best band in the world? There are as many best bands in the world as there are people to vote. I don't think this discussion will really lead anywhere, but it may introduce people to new music. | |
| Sirius XM Buying Pandora I am truly glad to hear that you all feel that Sirius' sound quality is awful. Low bit-rate MP3 (like 64K low) is a good analogy. I've noticed that stations that have fewer listeners get lower bandwidth, and hence, poorer sound. The Jazz statio... | |
| For those of us over 60.. Anything with Billy Cobham on it. | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? No, they don't. Most burn in requirements are simply there to get you to keep the product beyond the return period. | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? ...ooops, sorry, just reread your original post and realized I missed the word "bookshelf". Never mind about the Martin-Logan...unless you can re-arrange your room... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? I'm an aging audiophile too, turning 66 in August. I bought a pair of Martin-Logan ESL from BestBuy last year for $2500 and I have been loving every minute I spend with them. Imaging, detail, bass/treble balance, tonality, are all superb - espec... | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe The A-25s were my first speakers back in the 70's and I loved their sound. Later I "upgraded" to Advents only to find that I liked the Dynaco better. It wasn't until I bought a pair of Mission 770's (series II) in the early '80's that I found a ... | |
| Vinyl - Hearing The Beginning of the Song One Revolution Earler Funny how things that we original vinyl users took for granted - pre and post echo - are being newly discovered and pondered by a new generation. | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I leave the preamp on all the time unless I'm going away. The Schitt Mani and Modi Multibit also stay on constantly. The amp gets turned on when I'm listening. The reason I turn it off is because a transient or amp failure could have me coming ... | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records I thought I was the only one that had that Mickey Newbury album. I just rediscovered it recently while looking for things to play through my (then) new Schiit Mani phono preamp. The whole album is mesmerizing. | |
| Roon on laptop to dac to preamp ? You can control Foobar 2000 remotely from an Android device for free. I have a small Win 10 computer with a 1TB SSD which connects through USB to a Schiit Modi Multibit and on to a preamp, amp and Martin Logan speakers. Any android device can ru... | |
| “Suits” In the series "Bosch" on Amazon, the main character, Harry Bosch has a beautiful vinyl system with what appear to be Ohm Walsh F speakers. He frequently referred to jazz players like Art Pepper in the first season. Not so much later on. | |
| Stands? I found some Acoustic Energy cast iron 24" stands in Goodwill a while ago. Cost all of $20 bucks. Very heavy suckers they are. They proudly hold my Celestion SL6si speakers in my office. |
