| Is less than 24 bits worth it? Arcam FMJ CD 23. | |
| Table speed Buzz-Feiten...or is that too close to digital? | |
| Physical explanation of amp's break in? Does it keep on breaking-in until it breaks down or does it stop exactly at the zenith of this process? Do you hold to the theory that the component unlearns this molecular path of least resistance trick if not used and has to go back to "conducti... | |
| Physical explanation of amp's break in? If I agree with Bomarc, would anyone be surprised? | |
| Fair to change ad from sale to auction? So the asking price is an "indication" of what the price should be? Is it the same way at a Wal-Mart store in California? So, according to Leftistelf the whole society is some kind of auction where the selling price may be less or more than the as... | |
| Fair to change ad from sale to auction? Everybody is a lawyer these days. As a lawyer with long years in practice I find more and more that "anything I can get away with" is the current mentality. A lot of business people I deal with are the worst offenders at not humouring their obliga... | |
| Fair to change ad from sale to auction? It's called jerking people around and I doubt most people would ask the question and opine that one shouldn't be offended by such a practice. Once you start buying/selling stuff you should act like a mensch. My two cents worth. | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Summitav, I owe a debt of gratitude to you for allowing me to understand the precedence "affect". I went to the Audio Physic's site and boy is my German rusty! Thank God I found a link to the US distributor's site were I learned the following abou... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Great to know that you have it all figured out Sumitav. Precedence effect notwithstanding, I maintain my position that anyone who does not believe that room acoustics is, to steal a line from our good friends at Ford, Job One, is sadly mistaken. Y... | |
| running wire in walls/floor I always wondered why when constructing a house or a sound room ABS piping can't be run in walls or between floor joists as a conduit for speaker cable, that way if you do think that speaker cables improve music reproduction and that upgrades can ... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. The near field thing will never make proper room acoustics redundant. Headphones will do that. So unless you are prepared to attach your speakers to your head, no amount of near field mumbo jumbo will negate the need to have the best acoustics pos... | |
| Freqency response Good luck hearing anything in the neighbourhood of 40 KHz. It wont happen. Depending on age, you are lucky to hear anything above 12 KHz. A lot of audiophiles are in denial over this. I don't think they ever went to an audiologist for a test. One ... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? My last post was written with a certain degree of levity in mind. Seems it didn't shine through though. People stateside (and elsewhere, I imagine) seem to forget all the good that the Catholic Church did over the years. I remember hearing not lon... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. No, no, how could I be a contrarian? I never yes, I never say no, quite the contrary. | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Doug, I never do it that way. I usually look up new threads in "New Today" or "Recent Discourse". To see what people have responded to my banter and very occasional rants, I go to "My Threads". BTW, I still don't think that Audiogon is set up with... |
