Want to Experience Placibo Effect?

Just add alcohol :cheesygrin:

I found the cheaper stuff to sound like crap if you want good sound make sure you get top shelf alcohol, there will be those people that will tell you all alcohol sounds the same.:razz:

The only people who will say all alcohol sounds the same are the ones who have not tried all types of alcohol. Some will have not tried any alcohol at all, while relying on what they read on various naysayer cult Internet sites as the gospel truth.

I have no experience with Alcohol outside of an occasional beer, but I can state with absolute certainty that alcohol sucks, period. You don't need 80 proof or better to get the same efffect that a couple bottles of a good beer will provide. All beers however, are not created equal. Alcohol(hard liquors) are a waste of time and money.:cheesygrin:

I find edgy hard rock sounds best with Tequilla and easy listening sounds best with a Malbec.

I find I get drunk in double blind test and end up puking.

Damn. I picked the wrong day to give up alcohol.

Damn, I picked the wrong day to stop sniffin' glue. :cheesygrin:

I won't believe that until you PROVE it with a quadruple blind test!

How about wine? Red wine makes my system sound warmer:razz:.

Johnny Walker Blue label on the rocks makes everything sound fantastic!

I assume John is kidding above, though there are some fine beers. The sky is the limit in fine spirits! I suppose they'll all get you just as wasted but some do so without making you feel like a cheap **** the next day! lol

As for me, scotch is very nice, but there is nothing like a fine Cognac!

A long time friend of mine told me back in the day he did some "acid" , while he was in this LSD powered altered state he was playing The Beatles at one point The Beatles where setup and playing on the LP Rubber Soul and moved around with the record as it spun. I don't know isf it improved the sound but the visuals where cool.

I've heard a few people talk very highly of this. I really need to try this one.

They want $85 for a 26oz bottle though.

So now you smoke the ganja like all the other west coast hippies.

Every audiophile should know you must be properly attired and drink a fine Merlot to maximize the audio experience.

That's cheap, usually go for $200+ USD.

This is a good deal. If you in fact can get Johnnie Walker Blue for $85 for a 750ml please let me know, I'll have you buy and ship me one.

Can I just say I find it highly ironic that a Canadian would use ounces instead of the metric milliliter to describe a measurement :cheesygrin:

You know, I can't recall if the price I saw for the bottle was a sale price or not. I've only seen it one time at a liquor store and not since then.

I'll be keeping my eyes open next time I head to the LC.

I hate doing conversions. Should be one standard all around.

On the other hand, somethings I refer in metric. Depends on what it`s about. Height and Weight I refer to in feet and inches and pounds.

I'm not drinking f#%king Merlot !!! :cheesygrin::cheesygrin:

Attire ?

Naked makes my system sound better, the clothes absorb too much sound. At least thats what I tell the wife.

And let's not forget our "Audiophile" grade notebook & pen so we can take proper "Golden Ear" notes as we sip our suds. We have to make sure the piano is placed correctly & the 5th pluk of the guitar string is where it should be. Even notice the more one drinks how the placement parameters do change. :razz:

heiney9

Why would you even bother to listen to music where the piano is out of place and the 5th pluck sounds like it's a piece of twine? Really Phil, why? :cheesygrin:

Not worth the effort, IMO. Just get an AM radio

I find a simple highly visible name plate change does the trick.

Brock, are you kidding me. There's nothing like listening to how the piane keeps moving in the soundstage & the guitar pluks have more air around them...of course this is dependant on the amount of sips one has par taken of. The more the merrier. It gets worse though when you drop the pen & you can't find it to write your notes down. I never thought AM could deliver this kind of a soundstage!! :surprised:

I had a Ultimate Margarita last night at Hacienda Colorado and when me and the wife got home I put in Pearl Jam's 10 and it floored us at how good the sound was Eddie Vedder was smack in the room and my wife was like I can hear him take breaths as he is singing:cheesygrin: She has yet to notice the Musical Fidelity KW player I just bought but I'm sure it was the alcohol not the new player:cool:

But seriously I have never heard that album sound so good it was like hearing it for the first time I was in awe the cool thing was so was she as that is one of her favorite albums she knows every lyric word for word..

Did you figure out the problem reading hybrid SACD's with the MF player Larry? Or did the alcohol "solve" that one as well?:razz:

Toolfan66

No but Jesse will hook me up when he gets home on that issue but the player kicks **** none the less. I have also contacted the seller to see if he knew about it, he seems to be a stand up guy so I will see what he says about it as well..

tonyb

I know this sounds silly, but any of you experience this......

System sounds better with lights off than on ?
System sounds better at night rather than during daylight ?
System sounds better when listening alone ?

Then, just at daybreak, a group of drunk friends drop by, turn on the lights, and it all goes to crap ?

Late night, wee hours, early morn, when distracting noise in the hood is zilch. No cars, cycles, no kids, no mowers, weed wackers, gun shots,:eek::cheesygrin: etc.
