| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? I would expect a manufacturer to play whatever music makes their system sound the best. Anything else would be foolish on their part. IMHO. | |
| Insurance for system Home insurance typically has a set limit for personal possessions, and it's usually a percentage of the property value. You need to concern yourself with the specific coverage limits set out in the contract. It is quite normal for limits to be p... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @hotei My pleasure. One of the discs is Desmond and Gerry Mulligan. If you have not heard Mulligan's disc "Dragonfly", it's a classic for this topic. The second track called Brother Blues is such a delight for the use of soundstage and imaging.... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @hotei You're in good company. 🤣 Last night I was listening to the LP Take 10, by Paul Desmond. Actually on CD as part of a FABULOUS 6 CD box set from RCA. The complete RCA records by Desmond as a solo artist. Comes with a 20 page booklet gi... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @mahgister There's a lot of love in this room. 🤣 | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... My system also does all that. Steely Dan is a favorite for imaging and a wide soundstage. The instruments and sound effects are floor to ceiling and wall to wall. With many recordings of bigger bands, it's very clear how one horn is in the back... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @mahgister Please answer this simple question. A recording of a trio. Guitar, Bass and Sax. The recording engineer has mixed the final tape to have all three mics/instruments playing an equal signal from left and right channel. This puts the ... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @mahgister I understand your love and dedication to acoustic principals. It makes up the heart of most of your posts. Your comment : Than this sentence is not even wrong and like describing the realitty in reverse order like if walking on... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @jhnnrrs Something else we have in common. Love of ESLs. I've owned Martin logan in the past. Kept them for 20 years. Now running a set of SoundLab Majestic 745s. Coming back to my main point, a speaker can't produce anything that is not emb... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... My Opus 3, Test Record 1 - Depth of Image, assists in speaker placement for greatest effect. The 16 tracks describe what you should be hearing and where. It's amazing (to me) how deep and wide the soundstage can be. Then I am disappointed at th... | |
| Music first or sound first? Last night I happened to listen to Street Corner Talking, and Sticky Fingers. Street Corner was wonderfully recorded, given it was 53 years ago, and totally engaging still. Sticky Fingers, while being one of the top 3 Stones recordings (IMHO) is... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? And don't forget "only used on Sunday after returning from church" 🤣 | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @amir_asr I see you've been a member here for a couple years. I would be very interested in seeing your home system. Please take some time to post pictures and a list of equipment in the virtual system section of the site. I have asked all me... | |
| I need a extension cord with @curiousjim Get yourself over to Home Depot and buy a quad outlet box, a couple good outlets, a few feet of 10 awg wire and a 20 amp plug. If you're worried about a metal top plate sucking the sound out of the music, buy a plastic one. The who... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews This may be a bit off point, but my issue with ASR is that according to most of the reviews I've read, no high end equipment is worth the money. And the cult of ASR followers seem to view any of us that have invested heavily in our systems to be ... |
