Changing audio beliefs
The word "synergy" used to hold much more sway with me than it does now.   
Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases?
I thought that someone accepted the Randy challenge and then he backed out or changed the parameters of the experiment. Without knowing the specifics of this challenge commenting on it is meaningless. No one addressed my questions regarding the c... 
Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases?
If the human ear/brain is the worst arbiter of sound differences then where do you go during your retreat? When you question what you hear what is the next step in the process of buying new components and cabling? I think that there exist more bia... 
the one that got away - how do you handle grief?
parkergetdean The meaning of any words, especially one like "grief" have no universal definition. Up to the individual using these words.  So tell members like faustuss to get stuffed. He knows nothing about your life and what troubles you have ... 
Break In Question?
Whart A big difference between selling an idea and a product.  No one seems to want to consider my suggestion that doug is simply attacking a long held belief in break in to sell his book. Contrary to conventional belief....blah blah.  HIs prem... 
the one that got away - how do you handle grief?
Ever felt your eyes drawn to roadkill or an accident? As parker points out, worth twice the price of admission.   
the one that got away - how do you handle grief?
Geez Doug did it again. Well some of us pay attention and remember. I have deliberately been avoiding anything involving doug, which seems to be impossible since he plugs his book at every, sometimes awkward, opportunity.   
NOLA Speakers
I just rebuilt the Alon IIs that I got for pennies at an estate sale. They actually are a good speakers considering cost as well as age. My only complaint is the open midrange. Had to deal with the rear reflection. I have heard some of the NOLAs a... 
Am I no longer allowed to consider myself an Audiophile?
Looks like a bunch of marketing drivel to me. I have a serious problem with the word "tuned" as it relates to loudspeakers. I have never heard the NS speaker so I cant comment. Which reviewers?  
Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you?
No its the sound. I think Pass is a fine brand, but the 30.8 I owned didnt do anything well but also nothing wrong either. A bit veiled but bullet proof with superb factory support. My Atma-Sphere MA-1s kick off a great deal more heat.  
Break In Question?
I own Harley's book and think it is an excellent primer. He avoids most controversial topics and concentrates on some basic facts. This is the way to write an audio book. If I decided to write a book that would sell, if selling copies were the mai... 
Am I no longer allowed to consider myself an Audiophile?
Robert Johnson sounds better with each improvement I make on my system. I own no recordings from bands/artist I dont like. A bonus when a favorite artist releases a great album which is also a good to great recording. First one that comes to mind ... 
Break In Question?
Didnt see this before so I must comment. Doug, the people that judge issues of vindication and appropriateness of responses are really the members of this forum with Audiogon coming in a distance second. Nobody cares what you think as you dont hav... 
Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house?
Responded to you on the other forum. Thanks again! The only way for Audiogon to improve this aspect of the forums is if people speak out. Perhaps from a whisper to a scream.  
Break In Question?
Thank you invalid. This is the last blow from me to this dead horse. There are clear guidelines prohibiting "self promotion" in the rules regarding forum behavior. In fact google this and it is one of the first things to come up.  If he wants to ...
