Zero Distortion: Stacked Quad 57s
Very interesting thread and fantastic looking speakers. I’ve only heard Quad 57’s a couple of times and they weren’t stacked…. And they definitely didn’t have lovely EMIA touches. I bet these sound amazing!- Ovenmitt

The Devil is in the Detail
I’m a visually oriented person. I use an auditory to visual analogy of film vs video, and what that means to me as a listener. When I watch a movie that was shot in 70mm film I see a more liquid, continuous flow to the image…. film is more immersive to me. The details are present but not as...- Ovenmitt

The Devil is in the Detail
My threshold must be very, very low.…. After first hearing Robert Johnson nearly 40 years ago, the hair on my arms still stands on end when I listen to “Hellhound on my trail”. Missing musical detail to the point of not enjoying…. Dont know. I do know Mr. Johnson’s music - along with The...- Ovenmitt

Past great comedy movies
This list must.... just MUST, include the original Pink Panther movies, with Peter Sellars. If you want to stick with Peter Sellars and go a bit darker, Dr. Strangelove.- Ovenmitt

The Noob Linearity factor
I’m confused… Is this like the kid in middle school who gets turned on to Led Zeppelin, and then “discovers“ Aerosmith, then Metallica, then Red Hot Chili Peppers …….and as a 50 year old middle aged overweight dude living in his mom’s basement, just realized that Muddy Waters invented rock and...- Ovenmitt

"Long-Term Equipment Loans: A Win-Win for Everyone" by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound
Spot on and very well said.…. Speaking for myself (and I wish to stress that notion), my interest in reading the HiFi mags was mostly waned because I’m bored (i.e., not entertained) by reading about the latest products from the same batch of manufacturers. Honestly, I’d rather hear about Ked’s...- Ovenmitt

"Long-Term Equipment Loans: A Win-Win for Everyone" by Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound
Lol, back in the days of my “professional musician-ism” (playing in bands for a living) our running joke to our audiences was “The more you drink, the better we sound“ ….. I cant Help you with the Diana Krall thing though!- Ovenmitt

Audiophiles in Austin, TX, Please Check In!
How nice to stumble on this thread. I just returned to Austin, after living in Boston for the past year. I haven't really been involved in the audio community for a while. I do know that there are still some good like minded people in the area - into good music and cool gear. If someone is...- Ovenmitt

All Quiet On The Western Front 2022
Thanks for the mini review and recommendation, Steve. I’ve been hoping for something new and good to watch - I’m finding winters in Boston to be “movie time” ;-) I do need to add that I thought “Banshees” was brilliant…. Brilliant but hard to watch in some ways.- Ovenmitt

Upcoming Nagra turntable
Not to hijack the thread here, but does anyone have any further information about the Nagra HD phono preamp? I noticed a “preview “ shot or tow of it in one of their news letters a long while back, and then nothing. Is it due out soon? And yes, the new Nagra TT looks beautiful to my eyes -...- Ovenmitt
