    Re: I guess it's time to go....

    Thx for all the feedback but it's not tinnitus that is the problem (although I do have a mild case of it). When I talk or when medium to loud noises are present my ear buzzes along with the tempo,...

    Re: I guess it's time to go....

    Thanks for the thoughts guys, you don't know how much it means to me. Although listening to my wonderful system is not so wonderful anymore, I have (for the mean time) started to learn to play...

    Re: I guess it's time to go....

    Thanks for the kind words. Luckily, the MRI didn't see anything wrong like a tumor or anything, just a bunch of empty space.....lol.

    I guess it's time to go....

    Over the last few months, I have been to ENT guy multiple times as I now have intermittent buzzing in my ear. I really don't care to get into an internet diagnosis, just want to say I have had a...

    Re: Too Much Music

    I do the exact same thing. When I have a little bit of time to listen, I want to know I am going to enjoy it, so I revert back to known cuts. Nothing wrong with this approach as trying new music...

    Re: Top brands that have no respect

    My 1st tube amp was a little VTL, I think it was 12wpc or so? I had never heard midrange like that before, it was crazy good.

    Re: Top brands that have no respect

    I will mention Ayon, although I get the feeling there isn't much love for the national dealer. The other one is VTL, i have had a few of their amps and they have been very good.

    Re: Why the Cloak and Dagger?

    Do I need to apply to be a member of the "Hateful 8"? Or do I get in just by calling expensive interconnects and speaker cables tone controls?

    Re: Approaching 400 hours burn in....

    I like to say 50-100 hours for equipment break-in and the rest is listener break-in.
  11. Re: I call out Stealth Cables and Apology to Cable Deniers....

    I will call it for what it really is......cables are tone controls. Don't believe me? Come over....Cheers.

    What would you guys do if you liked how a component sounded in your system but measured poorly? What if you liked how a component sounded in your system but it got poor reviews?
  13. Re: Expectation Bias - so demonstrated..........

    I think (and I could be 100% wrong) that listening is a learned skill like anything else you do. My method is that I don't analyze the highs, mids or lows. I just listen to the music and feel the...

    Re: What's surprised you gear or cable wise?

    What's weird is you would think that the ability to get loud would be a high efficiency speaker's best feature, but it's not. The ability to use smaller (and quite frequently, better sounding)...

    Re: What's surprised you gear or cable wise?

    I have already posted about which components were very surprising to me. However, my biggest surprise in this crazy hobby was going from big amps and inefficient speakers to small amps and high...

    Re: What's surprised you gear or cable wise?

    My biggest audio surprise in the last 10 years or so? How good this ridiculous Carver Black Magic 25 wpc amp sounds with my Volti's. I have been looking (kinda) for a "higher end" amp to replace this...

    Re: Your opinion on my weakest link.

    Very, very nice room and system. However, since you asked for opinions I would go for a Pass Labs amp and preamp. There are a few big name companies that I just don't care for and Krell is one of...

    Re: Which speaker had a problem?

    I won't comment on Rockport but the room would drive me nuts. I couldn't listen to the whole video so if they commented on adding room treatments, I take it back.

    I am thinking about building an Audio Note EL34 amp with the upgraded transformers or buying an Ayon Spirit PA. The only thing I have against the Ayon is I already have an Ayon player and an Ayon...

    Sorry you don't enjoy it as much as some of us do. I just listened to it again and think it is really bad@$$. I grew up on Pink Floyd and can't believe how much I enjoy this remix. Favorite line from...

    I don't know about distortion measurements and all that but I do know that every component is not neutral like each manufacturer claims. That's why all of us buy, sell and replace our components to...

    Ralph, I have read many dozens of your posts and I believe I have disagreed with you on very few occasions. But I don't agree with you here. If a system sounds better to me by matching dark sounding...

    Here is another instance where "better" parts didn't sound as good. I was tube rolling with a DAC I had many years ago. I bought some Telefunken Smooth Plates as they were supposed to be the "bee's...
