| Question for those with Tannoy experience The slim tall floorstanding Tannoy R3s are very civilized and close in performance to the Tannoy Berkeley's.Tonally they sound similar but don't have quite the scale or insight of the larger boxed Berkeley's but their dual bass drivers give them d... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? This one surely needs no introduction.How many of us still feel like this in later life?"Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun."[PF SOYCD] | |
| Leben CS600 or Atmasphere or ARC @goldprintaudio ,Ah but the OP (and perhaps also other users of the DeVore Nines) will want more than ' very nice matches' and 'works well'.It's appreciated that you've stated that you're a dealer (and might have a vested interest in promoting one... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @mahgister,You and I and many others that contribute to this forum might try to be honest as we can be, but it isn't the way of this world.The truth in 2021 is now probably only reserved for those interactions between between friends and loved one... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @gmercer,'The reviewers have become a big part of the problem!'Yes, we're certainly seeing a lot of this impartial pushing from reviewers. Nauseating sycophantic creeps like Darko have totally renounced any interest in further debate.They're on th... | |
| Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard. Apart from Morrissey, Springsteen and Dylan (after a quick listen - they have their clunkers too!) I can’t think of anyone at present.The days when you could look forward to the next Smiths album or the one from U2 or the Pogues have long gone.Ah,... | |
| No Oasis For Dynamic Compression There’s a whole bunch of people over at Steve Hoffman music corner forum dedicated to finding the best masterings of favourite albums.If there was one thing I could change about the audio industry then it would be to insist upon the labels maximis... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs I just checked the 1100+ songs on my phone and was surprised to find only 25 of them were recorded after 2010.Doesn't seem to be going in the right direction according to my tastes.2000-10 891990-00 951980-90 1601970-80 2021960-70 4041950-60 ... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) @remembrances,Very Proustian.There are those who can create.There are those who can also appreciate.Then there are those who can do neither. | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) @mahgister,"Incredible..... Without history people are pathetically lost about societal issues...How easy it is to manipulate the brain of someone knowing no history....How difficult it is to try that with an educated man...."This is the point. Hi... | |
| The Decline of the Music Industry @richopp,A nice and clear explanation.But how do we get out of this nightmare scenario?Just how do we regain some space to breathe, to create and to express? And most importantly, to enjoy?It was bad enough that revenue from music sales went south... | |
| The Decline of the Music Industry I’d agree with Zapp.The entire world is now facing a creative death by algorithm.Only numbers count, and mavericks are no longer welcome.Freedom is undesirable and free speech intolerable.The consumers are divided, discombobulated and programmed t... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) n80,"The public school system is the domain of the left. The left drives STEM. The right approves."Unfortunately true of the UK schools curriculum too.My 16 year old daughter said her history school curriculum has dictated that her class spent two... | |
