| Passion, or ..... Precision? Doesn't really bother me that much; sound quality doesn't get my 'toes tapping', as it were - music does. My toes did plenty of tapping when I was 16 and listening on a little transistor radio. I certainly prefer better sounding music, but I'd rat... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I manage to have plenty of time to listen to tunes, watch movies and television series, and read a lot of books. Good for several hours a day of each..... | |
| Hollywood Records reissue of Queen "Jazz" I saw Queen around the time of Queen II, and they were awesome - a magnificent show, and only $2.... | |
| The last of the black Rock 'n' Roll pioneers? @bdp24 - through the mid-70's through the next 10 years or so, pretty much any party I'd go to in the SF Bay Area would have at least as much blowzeen on hand as cannabis. I liked 'em both, plus some other goodies, so it was fine with me. Starting... | |
| Does Hearing Loss Disqualify Me from Audiophiledom? I wear above-the-ear hearing aids when listening to 2-channel, and in-ear hearing aids for headphones... I may not hear it as well as some, but I can certainly tell the difference in sound quality.... | |

| Women Who Rock My point is that: People consider a male artist an….artist. A female artist is a…”female artist.” It’s just stupid. No one would make a thread of “best male vocalists” is not quite accurate, and I have seen threads of 'best male vocalists'... | |
| Women Who Rock @tylermunns - aren't there awards categories like 'Best Male Vocalist'? | |
| Women Who Rock @blackbag20 - That's pretty funny! And it's the reason I never got into those early Rush albums. | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT 88 “burn circles”? That's just what some tubes do. I've had 3 pairs of 300B tubes, including $1300/pair Western Electrics, and the glass towards the bottom turned dark on all of them quite quickly with use. | |
| Women Who Rock @tylermunns - indeed, and if they are good with it, so am I, and it often applies to more than just artists, too. | |
| Women Who Rock You might be able to say that about many marginalized demographics.... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! I'd rather hear from a reviewer who might have a 'real world' listening space like most viewers would. A review from an acoustically perfect space would give me no information at all about what I might expect in my own place. |
