| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Lived for 2+ years with a V1 Sphinx that I bought used ...and loved it. In December 2021 sent it back to Rogue in PA and they did the V3 upgrade. It was a definite improvement and I'm glad I did it, but not light years. The phono stage actually, i... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing We cannot measure the difference between a middle C, played on a properly tuned clarinet vs. a synthesizer, vs. a trumpet. Your brain knows which is which immediately. Just like humming the note and singing out, wide-mouthed would measure identica... | |
| Nominees For Worst Recording Of All Time Rod Stewart's early records are full of awesome performances, awesome songs and unbelievably lackluster production. He's always low in the mix and everything is fuzzy....yet I love the songs. Agreed on Born To Run too. | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? The recordings do matter a lot and setup too. Most speakers CAN disappear, and do it much of the time. Magneplanars disappear like 95% of the time except with hard-panned, L-R, jazz. They can be finicky, but even when they're not perfectly optimi... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? They Reminisce Over You by Pete Rock and CL Smooth T.R.OY. this is a song that is every bit the storytelling tour de force that Hurricane by Bob Dylan is, about his good friend Troy and the terrible circumstances by which Troy lived and died. If... | |

| Is Rap a valid musical form? How one feels about rap/hip hop is a matter of TASTE! If you think White Zinfandel sucks and tastes like crap ....is it INVALID as wine? If it's not wine, what is it? Like it or don't. But don't question it's validity. It is beyond the pale to im... | |
| Your favorite album cover... Hirschfeld's Aerosmith "Draw The Line" Black Crowes "Amorica" (wink wink) Pearl Jam "Vs." Van Halen "1984" OutKast "Aquemini" | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? The headline is borderline offensive. Valid? All you boomers who even found this to be a legit question need to read something. I adore me some Jerry Garcia, but next time you're listening to a live show (the only "valid" way to hear The Dead, ... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts Have I ever breathed air? Answer to both...most of the time. | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. I like both. I prefer vinyl. But I agree with the OP on the initial point. To brag up their DACs, manufacturers talk of their analogue-ness. That's a fact. They do. No analogue music company brags about how digital their product sounds. They just ... | |
| Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp Replace the Vincent with a more refined phono stage. One that is even more adjustable for gain, loading, etc with a quieter noise floor and not so rolled off. The Vincent is beautiful and lush, it is not particularly detailed. Your table and cart ... |
