| Picture Discs @baylinor - 👍 | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations I've had the Fritz Carrerra BE's for several years and they are superb speakers for the money, and Fritz is a great guy to talk to. I ended up selling them when I moved up to Marten Parker Duo's last year which were a whole lot more expensive.... | |
| Picture Discs @baylinor - Black vinyl is just as colored as swirly paisley. Vinyl comes clear before it's colored. I don't know why you would want to stay away from those, often put out by Audiophile labels like Acoustic Sounds. | |
| Are You a Swifty? Just gave the Taylor Swift album a first listen while doing some photo work at my desk; I quite liked it; reminded me of Lana Del Rey, actually, and I like Lana. Good tunes, good lyrics, often quite dark. 👍 | |
| Picture Discs Colored vinyl is not just a 'novelty' like picture discs are. Vinyl is clear to begin with, so black vinyl is colored vinyl, too, and colored vinyl does not sound inferior to clear just because it's colored. I don't like non-black colored vinyl, b... | |
| Music first or sound first? I don't separate 'em. Can't hear music without sound, so both are of equal importance to me these days. Of course when I was a lot younger and listening to music on handheld transistor radios back in the 60's, that was not the case! 🤣 | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? @hilde45 + 1 | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? 'Live Music' sounds completely different depending on where you're hearing it from. Forget about reproducing it. That's the job of the artist and producer. | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! @jasonbourne71 - I'm happy to be trapped in neurotic confusion, because it sounds better. | |

| Napping while listening I enjoyed a nap even before I retired, sometimes even at home. But napping for me is a quiet-time activity; don't need or want a soundtrack for it. | |
| Songs that reference audio equipment @simonmoon - I quite liked BeBop Deluxe in the mid-70's - even got some nice photos of Bill Nelson in his white suit and slick hair from a show in San Francisco in 1976 or so - I liked Red Noise as well. I think their biggest setback was that Bill... | |
| Buying Used Speakers One nice thing about buying speakers used is you don't have to wait weeks or months for them to break in and sound like they should. But I would only buy used ones if they were delivered to me. | |
| Burning-in as a non-linear experience With speakers and headphones, this has not been my experience; they tend to start off sounding pretty bad, like the various components of the speaker had never met each other, and as weeks go by, they blend together and the speaker sounds like it ... | |
| AXPONA 2024 @botrytis - as the owner of a pair of Marten Parker Duo's, I find your observation quite interesting and pleasing. I love how they sound with my gear in my room. |
