| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? @noske,Dave Grohl quoted Lemmy (late of Motorhead) - "Lemmy’s the king of rock ’n’ roll—he told me he never considered Motörhead a metal band, he was quite adamant." Quite right too. Motorhead were never JUST a metal band.On the other hand, just... | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? @noske,Quite right.It would be equally wrong to deny that Led Zeppelin were not Heavy Metal as it would be to say they only played metal. Clearly they were a multi faceted band with a wide range of influences from blues, folk to rock. Yet it would... | |
| Observation: Passion vs Obsession @larry5729,"I have noticed how many in this group are obsessive and I think it can destroy what we set out to do and that is destroying our passion. I think we all need to be millionaires or be satisfied with what we have. I am thinking about upgr... | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? @wturkey,"Absolutely! Unfortunately, a percentage of this genre has marginal recording quality at best. For example, Iron Maiden, to me is rough on the ears. Still enjoyable albums!"Agreed.By some dastardly quirk of fate, or twiddle of a post prod... | |
| The two stages of audiophilia @limomangus,Your happy until you read an article that tell you different...If ever there was a hobby where the old adage about 'the grass always being greener on the other side' was true, it's this one.Nevermind the fact that it might sometimes be... | |
| Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one That is odd. Sometimes just having a browser (Firefox) window open whilst trying to eject a hard drive can cause issues on my Windows 7 system.Or perhaps iTunes (or media player of your choice)³ is doing something in the background. Might be worth... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? @simonmoon ,"No real imaging, no soundstage, too much low level details lost in the ambient noise (even the quietist cars have about a 65 db ambient noise level, homes are under 40 db)."I tend to put stuff on a USB stick to playback when I’m drivi... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard @simonmoon,Now that's certainly a thought provoking lyric. It's quite amazing how you get to learn about stuff from over 30 years ago. I can't remember anything about this from the time, but then this was the UK and look what happened after that i... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard @sgreg1,"Again this is only my opinion and you too are entitled to yours and I will nit assume you are a “snot nosed young punk kid” as only they are capable of liberal utopia views.""snot nosed young punk kid" with a whole host of parental/author... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? "Lots of mediocre or worse songs, too much sitar (ANY sitar is too much for me)"It would seem as if Sgt Pepper is obviously not for you then.Neither it appears are songs such as Norwegian WoodPaint it Black Love You ToTomorrow Never Knows Green T... | |
| The two stages of audiophilia @mahgister,The next time I fall out with my wife perhaps I could try using the line, "It’s ok darling, things will be alright once you’ve been embedded."Perhaps not.Although come to think of it, things do usually resolve themselves that way. But t... | |
| I agree with Keef @artemus_5 ,Great post. I like to believe that distance does tend to give you a better perspective.The over idealistic inexperienced young though, will have to learn for themselves.As many of us had to. Great to see that amongst us are folks such ... | |
| I agree with Keef @millercarbon,"If you want to live in a world where you are no longer free to do or even think anything but what they tell you, just keep going the way you are. If you want to live free, JUST SAY NO!"+1Besides, this is Rock and Roll we’re discussi... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Loudspeaker design could be said to have stagnated as there doesn't appear to be much difference between the boxes of the 1960s and the boxes of the 2020s.Ok, the boxes might be smaller and slimmer, but they're still usually cone/dome drivers in b... | |
| The two stages of audiophilia @larryro2 ,I did the same thing going from a Naim pre/power to a Creek Destiny integrated.In no way did I regret the decision.That finally put an end to my worrying about endless amplifier upgrades - a Naim six pack anyone?The Creek is at least as... |
