| Audiophilism is a hobby I don't agree that working and paying to get better sound is not about the music. I'm sure that enough distortion could be added to the best written, played and recorded music that no one would want to listen to it. We pursue good sound to bett... | |
| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... I've looked at Verity Audio speakers often, but I couldn't get past the rear firing woofers. Does this make placement and the construction, treatment, etc. of the front wall really important? How do they do in the bass in general? | |
| Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it I think Backert gives you a 14 day return option. Check with them to be sure. Rising prices are killing everybody, so you know what to do about it in the fall. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change Some people get acclimated to the sound of a particular system and it no longer sets off the endorphins after a while. The sound is still the same, your brain's reaction to it has changed. Putting in a new component in your system can get your a... | |
| Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review @jeffreyw It was sincere. I’m always glad to hear that someone got a nice boost in sound quality from an upgrade. I’ve got a Denali 6000 v1 that was a nice upgrade. @willywonka Who’s going to do these large scale comparisons? I agree that it wo... | |

| Music through streamer vs CD/SACD If by platforms you mean the streaming services, no, they are not ripping cds or using pcs. I don’t know how the transfer is done but I assume files are sent by the record labels to the streaming services over the internet and stored on servers. A... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? One thing seems surer than not, these days: the common sentiment for nifty kit, tangible conventional sleeves and so forth seems like it’ll keep vinyl in production longer than “silent” CD’s, which at least on a sociological level is pretty inter... | |
| Tidal lowers its monthly fee Nice! | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant Give Brent Jessee a call and talk it over with him. He’ll find the right tubes for you. He has much more experience finding the right tubes than the average Audiogoner.. | |
| Illustrated Encyclopedia of Jazz and Blues, Awesome! @kennyc - Books won't be much help. Even for an individual jazz musician the music can vary so much from album to album that you just have to listen and see if it's your kind of jazz. Streaming is very helpful for jazz. Lots of different album... | |
| A quick question related to Amperex Bugle Boys There are fake Bugle Boys out there already. Along with fake just about everything else. They are not that common though. As @audition__audio said if you have a lot of experience with tubes, more than I have, you can spot fakes by examining t... | |
| Visit to Mike Lavigne's house Thanks for the report and taking the time to upload videos. That's quite a system that Mike has. Did Mike agree with your finding that digital and vinyl delivered pretty much the same sound quality? | |
