| The Museum vs. Galleries Interesting question. Typically when I am “listening” to music I play something familiar - playlists or albums though sometimes the albums are from artists I know well but may not be familiar with that particular album. But for long sessions that ... | |
| Audioquest DBS - What Voltage? Good reminder I need to check the batteries in mine and then maybe experiment a little. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? @immatthewj - that’s exactly where my mind went when @curiousjim mentioned single mic recordings. The Junkies also cut their third album as a single mic recording in a church (like Trinity Sessions) called Sharon. However the record execs didn’t ... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? @noromance - thank you but it was also a bit selfish. We were fortunate enough to be in a position to make it happen. I had planned to retire but will now have to work a little longer - fortunately I love my job. | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? I’m with @hifiguy42 - don’t need to be sequestered to a life alone. We still live in the same 1700 ft2 house on 1 acre we bought in 1992. We did however buy the 10 wooded acres directly behind our house last year rather than listen to construction... | |
| Best Covers Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies Powderfinger - Cowboy Junkies To Live is to Fly - Cowboy Junkies If you can’t tell by now, I’m a Cowboy Junkies Junky. Just got tickets to 4 more April CJ shows this week - can’t wait to hit the road. Matt | |
| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape You all are making me want to get my old R2R serviced and added to my system. It’s nothing special, but I still remember how amazed I was that my recording of Working Man’s Dead and other recordings sounded better than the vinyl I recorded them fr... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Interesting - I am up early this morning enjoying reading the threads from last night’s Daily Recap email and thinking about what a peaceful and respectful place this forum has become primarily, I believe, through moderator intervention. Of course... | |
| James Blunt out of tune? +1 @blazen69 | |
| Shortest Product Demo Ever: Had to Hit the Eject Button and Get the #*@% Out of There? My “demo” has lasted - we were married 30 years ago today. I remember someone told her mom I was a “ love’em and leave’em kinda guy” just after we started dating. I’m a lucky guy. | |
| ARC REF 6 upgraded by ARC. Thank you and we’ll said @cleeds and @richopp. | |
| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k I own a pair of Monitor Audio Gold 200 floor standers. I often listen for hours with no fatigue at all. They are a very neutral speaker and right in your price cap. I own the last version - assume the new version is very similar and maybe a slight... | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? Why would I buy additional equipment from a company that sold me fatiguing gear? I don’t know about you, but if I needed to replace gear that I found to be fatiguing I would eliminate that manufacturer from consideration. So remind me again why w... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile This is a really good discussion. Very interesting takes from many folks. Especially like the thought of the system as room art @bigtwin. However, based on the two posts by the OP, and putting them together it seems like their primary intention w... | |
| Changes in my life, new system, need new speakers Haven’t heard any of the other speakers mentioned but I have been rocking Monitor Audio Gold 200 floor-standers for the last 5 years and have been extremely pleased. Love the balanced, yet detailed sound. Often listen for hours on end and never su... |
