What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? @heardthat---you gotta wife who sits with you listening to music for four hours? Now THAT'S a keeper! Your system must sound real good too, especially at high frequencies. Women are more sensitive to hf distortion than many men, perhaps because we... | |
Talk but not walk? @stevecham---You don’t understand. You ask MG to explain what he does, but he’s not gonna give that away---that’s his product! He is no longer a hi-fi retailer selling currently available commercial products (except his own), he sells his "tuning"... | |
The better (artist).... John Lennon or Paul McCartney? George Harrison ;-) . | |
A song murdered by someone. There will be those who consider a subject such as this too negative, and a waste of one’s precious time. I empathize and even agree with that point of view, and usually refrain. But if you have to vent, at least this isn’t about politics. And the... | |
Let's talk Tweeters! The hf ribbon in the bigger/better Maggies is mighty nice, as are the RAAL and BG NEO 8. | |
Analogue Productions Jazz, Blues and Classical 33RPM vs 45RPM advice needed!!! There is also the matter of some album sides being created to be experienced as a whole, an interruption halfway through destructive to the music itself. In those cases, a bad trade-off imo. | |
What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? noromance covered all the "sonic" improvements, which leaves the matter of involvement, immersion, suspension-of-disbelief, excitement, ability to discern the artists "intent" (for those who, Like Art Dudley, think playback equipment can affect su... | |
This is juvenile... Some of ya’ll have nominated dead ones, so I’ll add Tammy Wynette, Amy Winehouse, Eva Cassidy, and (me too) Dusty Springfield (too bad I'm not "her type" ;-). | |
In search for speakers of "natural" sound Wow Geoff, Fulton’s! I never heard the Nuance, but did have a pair of the earlier Model J, which replaced Magneplanar Tympanis. The J’s had the great RTR ESL-6 tweeter array, a transmissionline loaded woofer, and Fulton’s Model 80 2-way as it’s mi... | |
Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" MOFI UD1S slaw, my putting "better" in quotation marks was deliberate, for a reason. Better in terms of technique (a voice as an instrument) and being "prettier", but those are only two element in a singers voice, and not at all the most important to me. I ... | |
The better (artist).... Dave Edmunds or Nick Lowe (Rockpile)? Nick Lowe for songwriting, Dave Edmunds for everything else.Jay Farrar or Jeff Tweedy (Uncle Tupelo)? Jay Farrar.Phil or Don Everly (The Ever....oh, never mind ;-)? Don.Peter Holsapple or Chris Stamey (The db’... | |
What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? Good response noromance, real good. | |
Analogue Productions Jazz, Blues and Classical 33RPM vs 45RPM advice needed!!! 45 RPM LP's remind me of 78's. How important to you is the last 5 or 10% improvement that 45's provide? How much do you value being able to put on an album, and relax and enjoy the music for a half an hour? | |
This is juvenile... Could be Emmylou Harris. Or Iris Dement. Or Julie Miller. Or Joan Osborne. Or Carlene Carter. Or Kasey Chambers. Or Rhonda Vincent. Or Patty Loveless. Or Chrissie Hynde, I guess ;-) . | |
Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. David Lindley’s (Jackson Browne’s original guitarist, a pal of Ry Cooder’s) first couple of albums contain great music in good sound. I don’t know if they have received an audiophile reissue, but the original Asylum’s are fine. Wait until you hear... |
