| After the thrill is gone Over the last couple of years I tried three new well regarded speaker pairs and none were as good as what I already had...so if it ain't got the "thrill" after an appropriate break in it's outta here. My current speakers have earned their place. | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) Again, mahgister, sheet music was around way before Edison. Commercially available sheet music...hit songs of the time... | |

| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) I’ve been involved in music for many decades as a pro musician and live sound mixer and so much of that article (and the responses here) is such nonsense it makes my head spin. By the way, "commercial" music has been around since way before record... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Feat's "Lonesome Whistle" kills me, as does pretty much any Lowell George vocal. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge Ortofon Quintet Blue...easy set up, great sound for 500 bucks on my trusty old Linn Basik Akito. My Quintet Red is also a great MC, but hey...ya get curious (my Linn Basik cost 500 bucks used when I bought it some years ago). A Quintet Black is in... | |

| Klipsch Heresy IV - not what I was expecting I don’t like the new midrange horn design (completely different from the IIIs which have an interesting compression "tunnel" and strange pointy phase plug with titanium diaphragm) in the Heresy IVs after trying a new pair hoping they’d "break-in" ... | |
| Why do hipsters prefer analog? Modern hipsters have been around long enough to no longer be hip. | |
| Bryston's New Back To The Future Program. Yeah...without the price of this deal the value is merely speculation. | |
| cheapest cable upgrade ever I think another inexpensive tweak is to stick some tubes (buy a couple of tube sockets) on top of any solid state gear...it's as useless as the battery thing but much better looking. | |
| WTH TAS?! Weirdly, I actually do dance about architecture. | |
| hearing loss and amp choices My hearing's top frequency range has diminished but my hearing taste just gets better. Decades of loud guitar and I still mix live shows and play all the time. My hifi rig keeps evolving and it seems my brain just adjusts and everything is just t... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable My old table was never replaced after a move killed it (old Dual something), so about 10 years ago or so I bought a nice old Linn Basik with an Akito arm for 500 bucks...thought it would do until I found something better. Changed out the tonearm c... |
