| Things you did not know about what is inside your speakers and the Huge markups The topic of overpriced high-end equipment comes up frequently, If speakers are marked up 5 - 50x and use cheap parts, there's a big opportunity for someone who can make the best sounding speakers available and sell them for $10,000. They'd be a ... | |
| MBL - Jürgen Reis and Jeremy Bryan Gone For what it's worth, in the July/August TAS page 56 Axpona show report Jonathan Valin writes, "all products [MBL] will continue to be handmade by MBL's highly trained staff in its German factory outside Berlin," | |
| John Fogerty Ready to Sell Songs It's true, then. Irony is dead! | |
| John Fogerty Ready to Sell Songs Yes, I'd sell everything I own for $200,000,000. But you have to see a little humor in this story. The guy who bitched every chance he got for 50 years that he was cheated out of owning his songs decides pretty quickly once he gets ownership bac... | |
| Concert Ticket Prices - Not a Rant - Just an Observation We need to have a music fan strike. Everybody stay home and let bands with outrageous ticket prices play to near empty arenas. It would work but I know that it will never happen. | |
| Rockport Avior II's in 19x24.5 room? The Aviors are advertised as having 9" woofers. They are measured along the curve of the cone, not the diameter. They are more like 6.5" in diameter. They do go low but I don’t think they’ll pressurize your room. You’ll probably need a sub for... | |
| epiphany in the high-end listening room... My perspective on the topic is that there are a large number of great speakers out there now and most people would be happy with any one of them. They do sound different from one another though, so if you are particular about your sound you have ... | |
| Is Sound Stage an artifact of recording? Soundstage is carefully mixed into modern recordings by mixing engineers, often cooperating with the artist. If it wasn't, you might have all the instruments and voices coming out of one speaker except for one coming out of the other speaker or s... | |
| What if there were no more new speaker models? A lot of people would have to find something else to complain about, and they would. | |
| So…Much…Music! Do you really think you’re listening to more than a 1,000 CDs worth of music in a year? No, I can listen to a lot of music that I would never hear if I didn’t have a streaming subscription, though. Qobuz provides a number of ways that you ca... | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? Agree with audphile1. Both digital and analog can produce very involving sound. I know that my digital set-up is very involving. Yours may not be, but you can probably fix that if you want to. | |
| So…Much…Music! If you have a 1,000+ CD/vinyl/tape collection and it's not one of the best collections of music you've ever heard, in your humble opinion. Then is getting potential access to 100 million song sreally going to help you? Yes, because there is so... | |
| RIP Dave Mason I'm not trying to be disagreeable, but "We Just Disagree" was written by Jim Krueger, long-time friend and guitarist for Dave. They put out a very good live album of just the two of them playing acoustic guitars, Dave on a 12 string and Jim playi... | |
| Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ? No. I still have them but haven't played a vinyl album in decades. My digital sounds great and I don't want to accumulate any more stuff. | |
