| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear I haven’t heard any of their gear. It may sound great, but its being marketed like a lifestyle product. Kind of like Bose for the nostalgic, wealthy, or aspirational audiophile. Harkening back to a golden glowing, transistorless, horn-filled past... | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles. For ‘mild’ high frequency loss, aids like the Widex can be very satisfying. For more ‘moderate’ loss, the benefits diminish.BTW, I speak from experience. | |

He preferred the sound and convenience of CD to LP, which I re... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Yes. Manfred Eicher (ECM) no longer produces LPs. Case closed. | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Components: JRDG- audio jewelry.Speakers: Marten Coltrane- I love the wood and carbon tombstone look. | |
| I love sad music My Dying Bride- “Turn Loose the Swans” | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Yes to David Berning. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers TAD Ref 1. Very versatile speaker. | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... Going back to the dawn of recorded jazz and blues in the 20’s there was tremendous cross-fertilization between the genres. They are just sides of a coin, so to speak. If one delves into the free jazz genre, the influence of blues is great. Check ... |
