| AI-Written Stereophile Articles I own a restaurant & was in need of a new dining room manager several months ago & received many applications on Indeed which is a great tool for such needs. Some of the applications were well written & impressive ( which doesn’t neces... | |
| Volti Voyage - New Razz Nice to hear all that. I met Greg at the Capitol Audiofest a few years back, purchased his Rival speakers & couldn’t be happier! I also really feel good about supporting small, more “ local” artisan craftsman whenever possible. There aren’t t... | |
| DCM Time WIndow Identification Help Very nice! I owned them in 1981 & they had curved top & bottom plates along the back side & standard binding posts for cable connections. They were fun, quite dynamic, pretty detailed w/ a big sound stage if you raised them off the flo... | |
| Vibration Control Excellent information Nagel! Thanks. | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I can & do enjoy good music on anything I hear it on. What’s really interesting is that the nuance & details I’ve come to notice & appreciate on the good systems I’ve had over the years get somehow imprinted in my brain & I seem to... | |
| Vibration Control As with so much in high end audio & often life, there’s so many differing opinions & Often no definitive science as to why. Added to this, we all hear & perceive things differently & have different tastes. This is sort of similar ... | |
| Vibration Control Glenn thus far is thee only one who has provided anything close to an actual explanation on the matter although I still have real doubts that in practice in this case, it actually has an effect. Of course what was described is exactly how phono ca... | |
| Vibration Control I’m not sure I follow all of that but so far, no one has explained how physical vibrational energy gets transformed into electrical energy in a solid state device w/ no moving parts. If this truly can happen, think about the effects it might h... | |
| Vibration Control Thus far, from the responses here, links provided & other information I found on the internet, I have found nothing that explains in any logical way why physical vibration affects solid state circuitry. I’m going to ask a few people I know w/... | |
| Vibration Control I know that most everything can matter in an even decent mid fi system & noise is a real enemy of high level resolution. That said, how does minimal physical vibration create noise in a solid state electronic circuit? Any EE’s out there who un... | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? Mobile Fidelity “Original Master Recording “ ( whatever that means) of The Beatles White Album in about 2000 for $75 in mint condition. | |
| Your Ultimate Phono Preamp: Which One Would You Choose? I’ve never heard another good phono stage w/ my t vinyl set up so I can’t say it’s better or worse than anything else mentioned but I’ve really enjoyed my Art Audio Vinyl One for over 20 years & it’s still in production today. It’s tubed, ple... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? Great question! I’m very fortunate & have a nice, modest sized house (2400 sq ft) on a nice lake in MA w/ a good sounding large living room (20’ x 25’ & cathedral ceiling peaking at 12’) for my system. I couldn’t be much happier but that... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? I’ve heard the Cornwalls a few different times & own the Volti Rivals. I prioritize dynamics that imo only highly sensitive speakers can offer effortlessly making it easier on both the amp & speakers & offer a “live music” sound. The... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address ATC has really changed their excellent done midrange driver much since the early 80’s & it’s still considered amongst the best . Why fool w/ excellence ? There’s examples of good & not great sounding versions of virtually every speaker... |
