| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @hilde45 I’m not sure I buy the attention span argument made in the article you referenced. I’m a member of r/kindle and from people’s self descriptions it is clear many younger people buy kindles to sit and focus on reading. Younger people sit an... | |
| why expensive streamers Can someone explain what a 432EVO does to recordings on original instruments tuned to 415hz eg Academy of Ancient Music? Does it assume they are tuned to 440 and retune them even lower? Or is it smart enough to tell the difference? Thanks. | |
| Vinyl Only Fiddle About on Tommy - bleah. We saw the musical on Broadway last weekend and it was hard to sit through it but not as dire as the original or the movie versions. | |
| Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500? @deanshias I use the Matrix Audio Element H USB 3.0 on an ASUS Z690 motherboard. I was shocked at how big a difference it made (the rest of system is Cambridge Audio DACMagic 200, Audioengine A5+ speakers, and Senheiser HD599) I use AVADirect who... | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @waytoomuchstuff you made me laugh, but maybe an electric fence around the HiFi and speakers would be better than crating them? It would make an interesting talking point with visitors ;-) | |

| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @knock1 I had no idea that outrigger kits were even a thing !! | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers I should have added that the room is 13' square, and I'm driving them from a Rega Elicit Mk 5. | |
| Upgrade Spendor A4 to D7.2? @ donquichotte - I just played Carte Blanche all the way through and it sounds great - thanks | |
| Upgrade Spendor A4 to D7.2? Thanks Kren0006, I'll look into the Cambridge Edge or save up for a Rega Aura | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy @chris_w_uk you laugh but when I visited Solid State Logic's recording studio just north of Oxford in the early 80s the reference monitors were suspended from the ceiling exactly like that with a single sheet of kleenex hanging a few inches in fr... | |
| Tube Amp in Snowpiercer And I am very aware of product placement after the project I work on was placed in the Ironman movies | |
| Tube Amp in Snowpiercer @millercarbon - I simply said good looking - I mentioned nothing about what I thought the quality might be. I'm a computer engineer, my career depends on noticing details and asking questions - that's all. I judge other engineers in a professional... | |
| Tube Amp in Snowpiercer Snowpiercer is a TV series currently showing in the US (and Amazon Prime) - I imagine most audiophiles notice the HiFi in what they are watching? Don't they? |
