Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
FYI, this is why Elon Musk bought Twitter and is going to change it to a human verification model. AI is not just coming, it is here. and it is now good enough that it can create a billion emotionally manipulative bots, for the written word, as s... 
Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
An unmoderated forum will quickly devolve into a smorgasbord of profanity and personal attacks. Overall humans are not nice to each other. (just grabbing the above response as a method of introducing the following text. Nothing personal. I had ... 
objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
The OP asked it..so..here we go... In the science, physics, philosophy (philosophy is the father/parent of science), psychology, etc...meaning in the peak of all of this, in the true meaning of all of this...'objectivity' does not really exist. ... 
objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
Yes. Answer begets question, question begets the answer. It takes one back to the idea of ’the longer the question has been around, the more fundamental the error in it’s formulation." This part of why science refuses, categorically, the idea of... 
Why Do You Post?
Can I replace "know-it-all" with "people with both the education and experience to confidently either state something as true or refute what someone else thinks is "knowledge" but is just an audiophile lore? What is exposed in this particular p... 
Why Do You Post?
I try to help people understand how to get a realistic, actual musically correct signal to come out of their gear. how it evaluate gear in isolation. how a single cause analysis test should work, how to assemble that into a system, how evaluat... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
What the OP is stating is that the website known as ASR and Amir himself, are both severely out of balance. Dangerously out of balance. This was announced via the stated point of Amir ’not actually listening to the given DUT’. (device under test) ... 
Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make?
Speaking of Dynaco units, I have the ST150 that was personally built by the person who wrote the very first technical article in the very first issue of the JAES, January 1952. (Journal of the Audio Engineering Society). One of those accidents of ... 
Do you build anything for your high fidelity system? If so, what do you make?
built my 4-way speakers. Built the phono preamp. Built the amps. Built the shelves. Built the turntable stand. Built the speaker cables and interconnects. Working on my first turntable. Built several styli for several of my cartridges. No plans... 
Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables?
There are literally hundreds of models of good used turntables available. An exhaustive list would literally be exhausting. One will receive no end of recommendations of various models Eg, I picked up a ’new and unused’ Mission 775S the other da... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
When @teo_audio writes positive feedback, does he really mean feed forward? Technically (as in: labeled for least potential in confusion), feed forward, yes.  
Fozgometer V2
Sound card on a computer, with a line level input from a phono preamp or integrated with phono and a preamp output (for adjusting the input level to the sound card), some free measurement software -- and Robert will be as a near relative of yours.  
i hate Beatle fans. (REFERENCE TO ANALOG PLANET article)
Yes, I think the stereotype, over time, is nearly inconsequential. As those folks will all soon be dead, so do not curse the dead, for we all get our turn on that wheel, whether we want it or not. Their celebration is a moment in time, it is a si... 
Dust cover up or down?
Off, not up or down, but off. In this instance, go commando. Dust covers are for keeping dust away, not to be on the turntable while playing a record. It's like putting a giant unwanted resonating badly tuned  (complex resonances) tuning fork on ... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
I did not cover the aspect of trailing layers of various odd ordered harmonic distortion patterns, as I try to take care of that when I'm messing with an amplifier execution, at the fundamental level. It is a huge part of the coloration, as Ralph ...
