| How Audiphiles are Different @secretguy - did you come out of the womb playing an instrument? 🤣 If not, think back - you might remember why it makes sense for non-musicians to listen to music and why what they think about what they're listening to is every bit as valid as wh... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @cd318 - I'm 70 years old, and when it comes to music, I'm indie and post-punk kid all the way, with a good dose of reggae and metal - age ain't nuthin' but a number! I remember when those bands you mention were really popular in the early 90's; I... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? @rrm - how is it compared to Kris Kristofferson's original? | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One I dunno if there's such a thing as 'best', but my favorite is the soundtrack to Twin Peaks, with music by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch... | |
| New equipment @charles1dad - indeed! There were a lot of question marks, and I was providing my thoughts on the subject in answer. And as most of the music I listen to is rock music and I live in an apartment, nothing is going to make me forget that Metallica... | |
| E-bay and its sellers @thecarpathian - 🤣 But it's still silly that they NAP standing up! | |
| E-bay and its sellers @thecarpathian - cows may nap standing up, but they sleep laying down. Horses too. So I guess the cows that some people 'tip' were just having a nap. My mom even used to tell me that you could tell when it was going to rain because the cows would ... | |
| New equipment I dunno - things that I am hearing in the music for the first time with better gear always improves the experience of the music for me; the artists and the producers put this stuff in there for a reason, and from my experience, I can hear why.... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @cd318 - Holy cow - another fan of Inspiral Carpets! 'This Is How It Feels' is one of my favorites of their's (beautiful melody, too), along with the 'Revenge of the Goldfish' album.... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? The Animals' version of 'House of the Rising Son' kind of redefined it like Hendrix did with 'Watchtower'.... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? I think Dionne and Burt are a wonderful combo, but I don't have any records by them, whereas I do have every Stranglers album featuring Hugh Cornwell. Very different indeed, but personally I wouldn't say either is 'better' - vive la differance! | |
| E-bay and its sellers @tcotruvo - there are some bad buyers and sellers on eBay? Who would have guessed? 😀 Also, some sellers may consider absurd low-ball offers as insults to their intelligence and will respond accordingly, and I totally understand that. | |
| How did you get started in this hobby Back in 1975 or so, I went to a hi-fi show at San Francisco Civic Auditorium where I got to see all these high end brands and associated gear. SF Civic Auditorium was also a good-sized live music venue, so they had Sensational Alex Harvey Band and... | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? I doubt I'd hear any difference at all, and the convenience of having the remote would far outweigh any miniscule difference there could possibly be. I've got a Herron Audio tube preamp, and I think at one point, Keith Herron did not offer remote... |
