Disappointments
@curiousjim ”Do first wives count?”                      “Got her home and boy was l disappointed”   Obviously you were not curious enough before the wedding Jim. Was that to date your most expensive letdown?  
Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music?
It appears “weed” and “substance” as mentioned in this discussion, can be influencers in more ways than usual.   Particularly useful if a users system is not that good?  
Do you buy new, used or new or used gear?
@kennyc  Good Logic with your choices…… l believe in the same principles. Used = potentially increased spending power, and higher quality electronics for the same outlay. What’s not to like about that? I always try to seek out “nearly new” pre-l... 
Best bang for the buck
I asked my partner if it would be a good idea to listen to some “Shiit Audio”. Her reply was,  as expected, “It can’t be very good with a name like that” She would probably give a similar answer if l asked her “What is a “Shih Tsu?” and say, “A ... 
Break In Question?
@thecarpathian “…pot of coffee?” l agree. Helps me focus alright.   Bagels for headphone ear pads may also help. Sugary ones for sticky subjects are optional. The beat goes on it seems…... Now, where did l put my cup?  
Break In Question?
@samureyex ”….put(ing) the entire thing to rest” My view was formed by the way this debate has become more personalised. Two conflicting views that will never reach a common ground. Can never be a negotiated settlement or winner.   Postings abou... 
Break In Question?
People are just getting too warmed up with this discussion. Stop punishing yourselves any further. Let it all go….. Switch off…. Nobody wins this one.  
Break In Question?
@mahler123 Ref. Dogma l am totally in agreement.    The old saying, “l can’t believe my eyes” is similar to views on this discussion, with a slight adaptation. More apt is the, “l can’t believe (for sure) my ears” Over time l have often changed... 
Break In Question?
@samureyex ”….anything with a wire can require burn-in…..” Ears to brain requires an array of wires of sorts. I suppose this supports those with theories that the brain (not the equipment) adjusts. That the brain is the true burn-in culprit, whic... 
Break In Question?
All this talk about “break in” has made me think of something that l have never even considered before. There has been some debate that equipment with moving parts benefit the greatest. Speakers leading the field because of their mechanical drive... 
What if there were no more new speaker models?
“What if there were no more new speaker models” I thought that had already happened. Looking through old Hi-Fi magazine advertising, there were many depicting “models” showing off standing next to new speakers, or tweaking the knobs on amplifier... 
What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement?
I have been lucky and always owned since the 1970s reasonably priced quality turntables, arms, cartridges, amps and speakers. Each change incrementally improved, but the TWO most standout moments l most appreciated came more recently. 1, Buying m... 
Do Fuses make a difference ib sound?
@jimf421  So no then…… l was too…… Such a silly topic. I could never hear a tangible difference myself. Supporters of the idea are walking a very thin line, but who knows for sure unless you blindfold yourself when putting in the fuses. A bit l... 
Do Fuses make a difference ib sound?
@jimf421  Have you actually done that? How much or little difference did it make to the sound, and to your wallet? l would have tried the fuse first.  
Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house?
If anyone needs validation about how wonderful their system sounds from others, perhaps they should also take a risk and enquire how handsome they look standing along side it. On personal reflection thinking about the reasoning behind the origina...
