| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? la chapelle au clair de lune by the inimitable Leo Marjane.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZe14XRcp-khttp:// | |
| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? to my ears, half-speed mastering sounds much closer to the master tape, there is just more openness to the sound, a sense of ease contrasted with the subtle hardness/grain/strain of a regular record. i get the same sound from 45 rpm recordings as ... | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? i get generally good results using a pair of compact Mirage Omnis with their output bouncing off the ceiling near the rear-side of the listening room, driven by a 50 watt stereo integrated amp with the bass and treble turned down, this is essentia... | |
| Do you care about car audio? i can't really put it in the same aural category as home audio until and unless technology totally solves the noise problem. | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? "tomorrow" [from "Annie"] played and sung by Major "mule" Holley and "slam" stewart, on string basses. the unique part is that major holley was a human contrabass and could and did sing in unison with the strings of his string bass, all the way d... | |
| What’s your obstacles on the way of listening surface noise. tape hiss. sound of appliances humming and furnace roaring. air conditioner running. neighbor yahoo's 2-strokes and junky music. | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers the benchmark for me was a pair of circa 1982 maggie tympani III panel speakers demo'ed @ definitive audio in north seattle. precise imaging that could be heard all over the room without getting too warped. AND depth that made [on the right record... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV i would be very appreciative if a reader here can describe to me their opinion of the stereophonic imaging/depth qualities of the latest cornwall IV speakers, how they compare to something like a thiel tower, for example. | |
| stereo review magazine in 1980 i had a college professor [also an audiophile] who told me it was his considered opinion that julian hirsch had to be deaf. i didn't quite grok this at the time [i was a teenager of limited experience] but it makes sense to me now. he hear... | |
| stereo review magazine i trust their [CR] car reviews. their beer reviews were pretty on-the-mark as well. their audio reviews OTOH needed some re-thinking IMHO based on how well they rated the bose acoustimass, same applies to SR. granted, i have several bose products ... | |
| My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music i strongly suspect alan parsons was telling it like it was, when he said, "an audiophile is somebody who uses your music to listen to their equipment." | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV last time i got to listen to them [cornwalls] was in 1980, i remember their sound to be bombastic, the bass shook my innards on the bass drums, not so much on the organ pedals. contrasting them was an early large mirage tower [forgot the model] wh... | |
| How loud are you typically listening? no access to a DB meter but loud enough to where i can clearly hear the background sounds in a classical recording [musicians breathing, clothes and sheet music rustling, chairs creaking, hall rumble, tape hiss] | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? oxygene [jarre CD]buketoff arrangement 1812 overturestereo version of eddy arnold/hugo winterhalter "cattle call" | |
| VINYL SUCKS! a physicist and record producer/engineer of note named tom dowd, a guy way smarter than me, didn't have many good things to say about phonographic recording and playback. |
