| The midrange is the most important driver. snapsc---A good sub frees one to pick the loudspeaker most appropriate for one’s priorities other than, of course, the lowest frequencies. Though vehemently disagreed with by many here, even the brilliant Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere, I consider t... | |
| Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet Tom, I understand why you would say that about Steve, but the truth of the matter is this: After their breakup, Allison wanted to leave NYC, where the three had been living for quite a while. Steve wanted to stay, and for one reason only---NYC has... | |
| Which attributes do you value most? I believe tone and timbre (I’ve been hearing it mispronounced a lot lately. It’s "tamber") are synonyms, so I concur with schubert. | |
| Decca carts If by Decca you literally mean a Decca-labeled cartridge, you are taking a huge chance. They haven't been made for years, Decca itself selling the company in 1989 to Decca engineer John Wright. Even when new they were unbelievably variable in qual... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. snapsc---All good points.1- True. All dipole speakers, not just planars, need to be at least 3’ from the wall behind them, 5’ being even better. But then, many box speakers sound better out there as well.2- ET is a very small company that does no ... | |
| Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet Damn, that's rough miner. I now remember hearing about that years ago, and had forgotten. A lot of great artists are compelled to create from a place of deep pain. | |
| Singers do not sing the language they speak Ha, touche' Todd! Okay, the English that Rap singers use is a different language than the English I speak. | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. I find the idea of two different drivers doing the relay-race baton handoff in the midrange, that handoff being arranged via a x/o filter, a very undesirable situation. Fortunately, one needn't accept that scenario. The Eminent Technology LFT-8b's... | |
| Singers do not sing the language they speak Said at the risk of being perceived as racist, the form of English spoken by many Rappers differs quite a bit from that of Anglos in the U.S. of A. Not quite a different language, but pretty darn close. I axed (;-) my sister why that is (her daugh... | |
| Most overrated bands For clarity, when I say Beck was dancing around on stage, I don't mean merely moving physically, whether in response to the music or in terms of showmanship. (I think stage performers should put on a show, not just stand there like the Grateful De... | |
| Most overrated bands Sheesh, tough crowd. When I say Beck was dancing around the stage, I don’t mean just moving. Did you see him last night? It was vapid, in every way. IMO. Feel free to watch the clip and form your own opinion. If you like the song, his singing, the... | |
| Question: Subwoofer XLR Cables Mogami Gold Studio balanced/XLR cable is fine for subs. If you want to spend more (or buy audiophile credibility), Kimber Hero. | |
| Most overrated bands What a coincidence---Beck was on Jimmy Fallon tonight. He was wearing a showbiz "outfit" (costume?), including a big hat he was more concerned with keeping on his head than he was with singing. He was also "dancing" around the stage. I don’t know ... | |
| Most overrated bands Uh, yeah, I know, Geoff. That was my point. Hel-loo! I, like Bob, love Ricky Nelson (he is dismissed as a lightweight by R & R historians), Bobby Vee (whom Dylan played with before leaving Minnesota), and Doug Sahm. Beck? Nope, sorry. Mediocre... | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light You know what musicians suffer some of the worst hearing damage? The horn players in Symphony Orchestras. Over 100dB at their chairs on climaxes. |
