    Glad I'm not the only one that feels like it's an eye sore....

    Ron doesn't think. He just acts. That seems clear after 7~ years....

    KeithR's "Dream Speaker" Search

    Keith, thanks for the reasonable sized write ups. I do more scrolling without reading on WBF than anything lately, so it helps a lot when there is something concise. I just can't read novels all the time...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    The arms are worth more, no doubt. And there is no competition (similar priced items are not competitive). That’s what I see. I will say though I am not the person that always buys the lesser dollar version of things, so I am less common.

    Natural Sound

    You know what's funny is I could switch "vintage" and "modern" in that whole passage and it'd still be just as true as it is written now. It literally just depends on the exact equipment.

    In praise of idlers

    My EICO can throw an image with a pair of single driver speakers I have of jazz trumpet that is... unprecedented (speakers lack in other ways though). And that's with a cheap TT.

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    I hope he'll raise his prices and get the orders out. Wish there was something to do to help his migraines. From someone who has struggled with head pain at times, it's bad. But I've figured out things that work and don't for me so now it's rare. It's not the same for all.

    In praise of idlers

    Nice. That Scott is real nice too. I try to grab them, Eico 81's and a few others when I see them.

    Ron’s New System

    Yes, it’s a very basic calculation used by everyone in the industry. As Morricab said it is +3db for every doubling of watts. It seems totally reasonable to think your speakers would follow it. So it really depends on your listening volume. Also peaks that soft clip in excess of 100db aren’t...

    Ron’s New System

    So he can hear clipping on tubes? The devices that soft clip? I'd be willing to bet money he hears something entirely different. Audiophiles are wrong typically on these things. They hear IT but what it is, isn't their conjecture. You could potentially get 104db out of the ML3's. I don't see...

    Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm

    eBay seemed to be during my experience. He had someone that manages it for him.

    Ron’s New System

    How off-axis are the speakers? That could explain most of the drop.

    Clearaudio TT2

    There's almost no information on it... How does it work? All I can tell is it looks maybe like queing raises/lowers the entire thing? The lever is massive.

    Science proves Hi res is better

    What does hearing the difference have to do with one being better?

    "If you don't have a $200k [speaker]..."

    Interesting, I wouldn't have guessed you like Gerhard's stuff. If that's the case a day may come where you like several things we've had our hands in, that aren't even our personal choices. What gear was associated?

    Yes, my real name is Leonardo Dicaprio.

    Tell me that after owning for 5 years.

    "If you don't have a $200k [speaker]..."

    If it's good it's good. All this philosophy is pointless. If a good design cost a lot, it does. If it's complicated or simple it is. If it's bad it's bad. There are good and bad at ALL PRICES POINTS.

    David Karmeli’s Bionor/Lamm/AS-2000 Audio System

    Ever seen a mixing board. Dumb argument. They just aren’t your cup of tea (or mine), that simple. It is a bit of a wonder why they went where they did.

    No, as is the side walls can flex without rubbing on the speaker.

    Are we hurting our ears with clean power?

    Uh distortion only matters when it climbs greatly at the tail end of max power on most devices. It’s likely other things that make it sound wrong as you turn the volume up. And I wouldn’t say very low distortion inherently makes low volume good either. I’d go as far as to say the speakers play a...

    American Sound AS-2000 Installations- Far East (Tango)

    You may not be aware but this website is probably the most liberal for "hawking wares" there is... as long as you aren't spamming/harassing and it's kept civil.

    American Sound AS-2000 Installations- Far East (Tango)

    In a heart beat. But I'm not silly enough to say a website wouldn't be nice.

    Zero Distortion: Tango Time

    You guys are smoking crack that think they’re really close together. There’s definitely well beyond 6’ between the drivers.

    Prime in my areas means free shipping and access to their streaming, that is all.

    The WBF humor and joke thread.

    We have two local fulfillment centers and NOTHING I ORDER SHOWS UP EVEN WITHIN 2 DAYS. Literally everything takes forever. The good old days are gone.

    We just think if them as the most annoying person at any gathering. But if you’ve ever been around their meetings of the minds they are conniving and world domineering at heart. Total control…

    The WBF humor and joke thread.

    They left out calling tech support a few times then having their grandson/grand-nephew try to talk to tech support to solve it.

    Sme 3012 R

    It makes sense. There is that point where it just switches and your analytical side just wants to rest. I suspect for musicians they have trouble turning it on, and we need the right stereo to turn it off.

    The Fabelmans

    I need to watch that soon. This movie (Fabelmans) looks well done but not sure I care about the plot.
