... when you change your vinyl record purchase habits to seeking records you think will work for demo rips in the threads on cartridge measurements.

Wait, is there something wrong with that?
Umm... I mean... would there be something wrong with that?
Hypothetically speaking, of course...

:cool:

I was a bit surprised when I went to find what it would take to get 'Cousin Dupree' in Vinyl LP version (from Two Against Nature). I hope the copy I've got coming was properly represented...I guess we'll find out.

Yeah, I've got a few that I'm trying to get myself organized enough to offer up for review.

... you like your sparkling water like your DACs: fully transparent.

... when you can’t enjoy your friend’s new Blue Note 180g release on vinyl because the SINAD of a phono system can’t possibly be above 80 dB.

... when you find yourself endlessly flipping between DAC multi-tone charts trying to determine if the “grass” is greener on the other graph.

I knew I was reading ASR too much when this conversation took place at my house:

the other nite I brought in my 6xx box and the GF watched as I opened it and I got my first introduction to WAF

GF: what's that?

me: it's my new headphones!

GF: they look like your other headphones

me: well, sorta

GF: why do you have so many headphones? you can only wear 1 at a time

me: ummm....different headphones for different music

GF: ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght (walks away)

Your AVR turns off mysteriously listening at "reasonable" volume levels (dbfs not A-weighted) and you can't turn it back on. So you hope for a moment that you've "blown a cap" and you will be forced to upgrade to something with a 115db SINAD and 400wpc.
