| If you were serious about sound you would... @jtcf If you come across a post like "if you had to pick 3 songs for the rest of your life...." it seems like everyone (including me) pick songs they love that are from a younger time in their life probably at least 3 decades old. I think the reas... | |
| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore Just before he died I got to sit in on some sessions with the greatest sound engineer ever and he could hardly hear anymore he was just about 90 years old but since he has a memory and consistency of what great sound was he still made wonderful so... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @mahgister I appreciate your point of view and I agree with all of what you said except for I feel like you have fallen into the common audiophile mindset that is simply wrong, I don't mean perspectively or subjectively wrong I mean wrong as in th... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @mapman Great answer, but do you care about the most accurate sound or do you care about your enjoyment of music accurate sound be damned? Obviously you have given your expertise to the audiophile world which all around here appreciate. One of tho... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @wolf_garcia I agree with you about live sound I’ve done it for many decades and it ruined live concerts mostly I only go to one place to listen to music, the Smith center in Las Vegas it sounds great and I only go when big jazz acts are there the... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @roxy54 The reason to use studio equipment is because it produces the original recording and you can't do better than that. The name of this discussion is "If you were serious about sound you would.." Because of that I don't care about hearing pre... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @p05129 Just go to TAS and see what amps the editor uses in his reference system BHK 600, he could use and have used practically every amp there is but he chose that one, they don't suck. I do have to say the BHK Preamp is noisy I've had 3 of them... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @bikeboy52 Yes you nailed it I don't think the vast majority is serious about sound they are serious about feeling good about music and enjoying it satisfying their own preferences. You seem very confident in your assertion tell me why I'm wrong. ... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @audioman58 Sorry I'm not getting my point across to you at all. I'm saying that since audio accuracy can't be more accurate than the original recording by definition, even if the recording is done on sub standard studio equipment it is what the m... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @roxy54 Not bragging at all nor did I say I knew everything about sound. I'm just saying something that is practically never discussed here and that is the fact that you can't make the signal better (more accurate) than the original so why not use... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @coralkong The producers job in the recording studio is to help the musician get the most out of his own talent, the engineer puts the technology together to facilitate that vision. Often the producer doesn't want some instruments to sound their b... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @lalitk I don't understand this //“How is it possible to get better sound than the best recording studio gear? ” For starters, buy a better preamp and amp and not settle with mid-fi gear like PS Audio. // Can you explain to me how you can reco... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @coralkong I'd like to ask you which of items on my equipment list are ridiculous. I assume you don't think the playback signal can be made better after it's been recorded so the limit on playback quality is the original equipment used. I'd like t... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @mahgister Perfection in sound has nothing to do with this, I'm saying that the signal can't be better (more accurate) than the original. There is a limit to the accuracy of the playback the limit is the quality of the equipment doing the original... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @onhwy61 SSL is used in top studios, Pro Tools MTRX is standard, the Meyer Bullhorns are just making there way in now but they are way ahead of everyone else. The point is this small list is what many top recording studios use and everyone knows y... |
