| another toy for those with money to burn Judging by the popularity of these things, (they sold out on TOM) it's a good idea for one of the many manufacturers out there or maybe one enthusiastic audiogoner. Joe | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? I think that in the post production of mix down of such loud music, the recording engineers use "limiters" to clip the wave forms so to not distort the music on the CD or record.

| How long do good speakers last? The oldest speakers I have are a pair of Polk Model 10 A's. 1979. Excellent speakers for their day. They still sound like they did in 1979. I'm skeptical of new technology that promises "better" sound. No one really knows how they'll hold up (or i... | |
| Reel to reel , is it real the hype! If you're going to get into reel to reel and you pursue buying old tapes from EBay, do make sure to clean the entire tape path after EACH tape is played!!! Some old tapes have held up well after 50 plus years. Many others, not so much. I had a pre... | |

| The value of embellishment? Oh yeah, the VPI would look even better with a set of Texas longhorns on the front of it! | |
| The value of embellishment? The icing on the cake will be when it's reviewed by whoever and they declare it to sound better than the table without the leather. This has actually happened before. Pass Labs had changed the power supply box on the X-1 to look identical in size ... | |
| "I have the best system in the world!" An Audiophile's Journey Your ears, your system. Congrats. | |
| thought on eBay? Does the seller have the original cartons? If not, I've gone so far as to construct over size boxes and sent to the seller (including the tape for the outside of carton!). You said that the seller has excellent feedback. You should be good to go w... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio OP, I like many people here believe in at least two systems. I like folk music. I have many cassette tapes of original recordings that are of poor quality. (Many of these tapes were recorded by old hippies who never even considered the historic va... | |
