| VINYL SUCKS! i've never run into a CD with inner groove distortion/pinch effect. i never ran into a CD that had tracing distortion gouged into it by a previous CD player. i've never run into a CD that had loud clicks and pops on it. | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? L.A.S.T. [Liquid Archival Sound Treatment] is a fluorocarbon-based record preservative and lubricant and leaves no discernable residue, adds no noise, and in my experience has rescued many a garage-sale disc from the trash. overall noise levels dr... | |
| High quality equalizers if your speakers have L-pads, you could try that first. | |
| Question for those with “Golden ears”, and a frustration! (The Loudness Wars) i've gotten into the habit of re-remastering the sound of many releases both old and new, to suit my preferences and nervous system. brick-walled recordings can at least be somewhat ameliorated via more digital trickery. | |
| Jazz for aficionados can somebody tell me what specifically they heard on the "jazz at the pawnshop" CD that made it such a collector's item? | |
| Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers? any good recording engineer/producer knows that it's a jungle out there in terms of the breadth of mediocre equipment and listening conditions their music will face, and they plan accordingly. | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? aside from my jr. high and high school band performances, i am reluctant to use the term "worst" when referring to amateur musicians putting their heart and soul into playing as best they can, however clumsily in the grand scheme. a 1992 performan... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound IMHO any [audio] system that makes brushwork sound like tape hiss, is not doing its job properly. as a restoration tech and musician [mediocre] for 3+ decades, electronic hiss "lives" in a totally different "neighborhood" than any drummer's brushe... | |
| High quality equalizers you could experiment also with devices such as a BBE or an aphex aural exciter, the latter has a midrange control that is good at boosting clarity of inner voices, plus a brilliance control on top and a big bottom" bass expander, as folks with p... | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? i've heard examples of records that sounded trashed even played with a line contact, but on an ELP, with the tracking laser point carefully dialed in, it was often possible to find a spot with less wear than the rest of the groove, and the record'... | |
| The Most "Analog" CD Player? i find the upsampling CD players tend to have a more "round" sound. the rega apollo sounded mellow to me as well. | |
| Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die? in heaven, i won't give a damn. | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? the widest sweet spot i've ever heard was with the bose SR-1 cinemate system. whatever you may think of that firm or its speakers, this system let me sit or stand anywhere in the room and hear basically the same stereo image. didn't have a lot of ... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? 1938 carnegie hall all star jazz concert with benny goodman's orchestra. just to hear live and in person what barely shines through the murk of the 78 rpm transcriptions of this classic concert. woodstock '69. monterey pop '67. the doors when they... | |
| CD player reliability.... good and bad. i wish my DBX players had lasted. |
