| Can you tell the difference between a $200 and a $200,000 guitar? This always kills me: Listeners who because they can’t hear nuances that others can, or are so predisposed to believing it is not possible to do so that they then assume it must all be bs. They then feel the need to rain on the parade. Talk abou... | |
| Can you tell the difference between a $200 and a $200,000 guitar? To state that the player makes a bigger difference than the guitar is stating the obvious. However, if the suggestion is that it doesn’t matter if a great player is playing a great guitar or a mediocre one this is a false assertion. Sure, a grea... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday @unreceivedogma , what inference? I think I was pretty clear with my comments. To my way of thinking when a person reacts defensively without cause tells me that they may be one of the “some” (SOME!) that I allude to? Perhaps whoever you dealt ... | |

| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @dover , great to hear from you and thank you for your concern, but it was not I who made the comment re groove noise. In the endless debate about the relevance of the live music experience as reference, as @rauliruegas has pointed out this comme... | |

| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Apparently. You may find this interesting. Basic, but to the point: https://www.schoolofcomposition.com/what-is-tension-and-release-in-music/#:~:text='Tension%20and%20release'%20refers%20to,keeps%20the%20music%20moving%20forward. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Raul, I agree with what you wrote and I can only add that it goes even much deeper than that as concerns how rhythmic nuance is conveyed by audio equipment. Transient response is key, but only one piece of the puzzle it seems to me. And I do belie... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? As Raul wrote, the key is extensive exposure to live music. No offense intended, but those who oppose using live music as a reference are copping out and/or are listening to the wrong things when (if) they spend much time attending live performan... | |
| EAR 834P Deluxe with Dynavector 20 HX H output Cart. I believe that is exactly what I wrote, but good to know that is Mitch’s recommendation. Btw, Mitch’s 834P mods are fantastic. I loved what his mods did for the sound of mine when I had it. Highly recommended! | |
