| Chair @skywachr - I've had a real Herman Miller Eames chair and ottoman for 3 years, and my opinion is that it is extremely comfortable and a purchase I'm very glad I made. | |
| Chair Another intriguing swivel chair I've seen at high-end furniture stores and high-end hi-fi shops is called the Lobster chair; very comfortable and seat and back just the right height. Pretty pricey, though. | |
| Chair @rick_n - having your head above the back of the headrest makes a big difference. While listening to something with nothing behind your head, cup your hands behind your ears and hear the difference. That's essentially what's happening when the bac... | |
| What is your audio axiom? @mylogic + 1 - Indeed, I enjoyed music no less when I was a teenager listening to it on a transistor radio. A new Beatles song was every bit as thrilling on that. It's a different experience today, but enjoyment of songs is the same. | |
| Best way to spend my money I recently upgraded to a high output Hana MC cart, and that made the biggest difference in my sound next to the speakers themselves - everything improved and the change was not subtle. The one I got was a lot more than a grand, though... | |
| Does Chat GPT just give you the answer you are hoping for? ChatGPT is SOOOOOOO much more than some 'feel-good app'..... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? Thank you again, @jrareform - yes, I see they are about $17; I'll order one - I've got loads of Amazon points! | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! Besides the sound of the speakers, another good thing about Fritz speakers is that you can have a nice, long conversation with Fritz, the guy who makes the speakers... He can answer any of yer questions and has lots of good stories to tell. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? Thank you, @jrareform - I was wondering about that, too. Somebody else on the thread mentioned a good sound level meter app; I might try that one and/or some others. | |
| Yes, I ordered a pair..... Indeed, I've had several headphones that I was ready to return based on how they sounded out of the box, but ended up enjoying after break-in. Like speakers, they're mechanical and need break-in time - some need just a little, some need hundreds o... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup 60/40 new/used. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? Just recently got a DB meter app; I live in an apartment and I sit about 8 feet from my speakers which are about 8 feet apart. What I considered 'loud' turned out to be between 40 and 55 db! And I play rock music, not ambient! | |
| Mick Ralphs has passed away Mick was responsible for some awesome music over the decades, going back to that first Mott the Hoople with the MC Escher cover; RIP Mick.... | |
| What is your audio axiom? @ozzy62 - it would seem that way, yeah? But in my apartment I've got a long livingroom and I have my gear set up width-wise, not length-wise, so on one side I've got about 15 feet until the window wall, and on the other side about 10 feet from the... | |
