salparadise Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 he's wasting ~$20,000 dollars worth of equipment listening to things that were never constructed to be listened to on equipment like that. I'm listening to a record on a record player... I'm pretty sure that's what it was made to do... you can believe that all you want hahaha.

perk900 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm listening to a record on a record player... I'm pretty sure that's what it was made to do... you can believe that all you want hahaha. dude, i don't just believe it, i live it... in my line of work i've had trainings from some of the best speaker manufacturers on the globe, as well as component makers... i've sat through the lectures on stereo imaging, separation, balance, dropping the noise floor, small room acoustics, etc, etc... and i've been able to HEAR the difference in what high quality equipment vs. low end shit sounds like... but look at it this way... i've listened to records i've been listening to for over a decade on that system, and heard NEW things while doing so... That's pretty exciting when you find something new in something you've loved for that long... be skeptical and uptight about it, that's fine... but don't diss me for having some fun...

I'm not saying i haven't... That kind of stuff gets played on that system ALL THE TIME... its just FUN to listen to some stuff on it that isn't Steely Dan... I will say this though, The Tim Barry records sound really good on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Damn Brian.... You should have pulled out some Coltrane - BLUE TRAIN or something...that would have sounded sweet. Or some GENE KRUPA records Actually, there is a wicked good 180 gram Miles Davis vinyl... thats more like it. I bet the William Tell Overture sounds sick on that system.
