| Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening? I love headphones, as do most of the people on most of the forums I go to; Audiogon people don't seem to like them - the headphone thread sees almost no action - but that matters to me not a jot. If you want to hear really good headphones, Bowe... | |
| What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate? @thecarpathian + 1 - that was my first thought when seeing this.... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? I saw the Eagles open for Ten Years After in the early 70's. I didn't much like them and the audience of TYA fans SURE didn't like them! On the other hand I saw Robin Trower open for Sha Na Na at Winterland in San Francisco in about 1974, and po... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @mitchagain - in 1975, Jeff Beck toured with Mahavishnu Orchestra as co-headliners, each doing a full set and alternating the order.... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @mapman - by the time I found out about it, they were all sold out, but I managed to get a new unopened 'Air Born' box for a very reasonable price. I love these big prog-rock box sets. I've got some King Crimson ones and the Caravan one and the Va... | |
| Presidents Day HiFi sales @carlsbad2 - don't online hifi retailers have sales? I sure get enough emails from ones that do! | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @jimijam - Camel is great, yeah? They played 3 nights here in San Francisco on the 'Moonmadness' tour, 2 shows per night, and I went to all 6! | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @richmon - did you happen to see Pink Floyd at the Spectrum Theater in March of '73? I was at that one.... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @bassbuyer - when I first moved to San Francisco in 1973, I went to a show at Winterland with Wishbone Ash headlining, I think. The first band came on, who I never heard of before, and they tore the roof off the sucker. Montrose. I had friends in ... | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. Moon Martin - that's a name I've not heard in many a decade; totally forgot about him. | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." They certainly can and many of them I watch do just that. | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. I saw him open for Rockpile and Elvis Costello at Winterland in San Francisco and got a few photos of him. He's very good for that sort of thing, just not my preferred style. | |
| Hearing Aids @troutbum - I'm currently using the latest Jabra hearing aids from Costco; they were about $1500/pair, plus another $60 or so for custom earmolds. I'm quite happy with them as far as ease of use and sound. | |
| Hearing Aids @mahler123 - that's not a bad idea about a Zoom consultation. More than a few audiologists are musicians themselves and understand more 'audiophile' needs. As far as hearing aids being designed only for speech, for most hearing aids, that is ju... | |
| Hearing Aids Another thing I'd add is I don't use any kind of 'buds' (besides what goes in my bong!), but I do get custom-molds instead of using the generic domes; only cost about $60 more and well worth it. @mahler123 - not all Costcos are the same, as you'... |
