When it comes to laser playback of regular LPs, I think so... I also think there was another one, further back; that's what I meant ... when it comes to the "Music only analog LaserDisc" idea that is just my own idiocy! :D

That is a beautiful machine

I have posted this before - I have a fantasy that I developed when I found out that LaserDisc was actually analog. I am so used to associate optical with digital because of CD/DVD/Bluray/SACD that did not even think that they are not necessarily tied - kind of a surprise. I KNOW that the time...

Being after all an ASRer, I do believe that the threshold for diminishing returns on a turntable setup is A LOT less than $370K ! :D

Not a native speaker so trying to phrase so my question is understood - apologies if I don't make sense. In general, if the situation posted above is true, how generalized is this? Can we assume if a device/product in the audio world has no or few reviews it means that reviewers are declining...

That's the impression that I get - why else the inability to understand something as simple as "I just like do it"? Tried to avoid triggering words, so I am glad someone else brought it up.

Well, they ONLY ask for an equipment list. What I am saying is that for that intended purpose that is not only impractical it is also not nearly enough. As per my OP, IMHO if they were serious about evaluating what you are hearing, room size and other info about your listening environment is...

Over at Hoffmann someone tried to start a thread about ELO's early albums, pointing out their murkiness... which I kind of agree, all IMHO opinion, of course. As audio and hearing is subjective, I was genuinely interested in people's opinion, to see how many people agreed with me. However...

Going from memory, I think I remember those case studies... need to review, but wanted to comment. I seem to remember that the case study looked like "We found line noise, we installed our stuff, line noise went away, everything is awesome" without showing that the noise was having any effect...

Apologies for replying to my own post - just in case it's bad form - but the following thread popped out over at Hoffman - and guess what? ASR gets mentioned almost immediately. Again, there is an impact - a noticeable one...

hehe - should not get so triggered - but indeed, have thin skin when it comes to peeps thinking I am for magic stones/cables/dacs just because I like vinyl. While I can stop watching the thread, wish there was a way to stopping from showing up at all so I am not tempted to go back it - none...

But that is what is happening!!! Exactly! No matter how many times I say "I AM AWARE OF THE LIMITATIONS, I KNOW THEM. I JUST LIKE IT" for some reason some people as if I said "vinyl is best" or that I believe is magic cables - I have never said that and yet you wrote what you wrote, which is...

Well said @IPunchCholla No one should ever apologize for their own taste nor mistake it for a universal truth! @IPunchCholla you are 100% right. Lots of times when people hear someone saying "I don't like X" and X is something they like, they get on the attack, like If their baby was...
