| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track Dekay- ah youth, simpler times, those were the days, no? ;) | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track i remember working in a radio shack store in the late 70s. we took delivery of some new "clarinette" model 8-track compacts, put on a carpenters tape and were surprised by the vivid sound quality [better trebles than any cassette i'd heard up to t... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System IMHO a million dollar system had better do the following- *reproduce proper stereo imaging [WITH depth] at any listening position *play bass down to 16 cycles at full volume without discernible distortion *be utterly non-harsh with any recordin... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl when i was listening to vinyl it was only to transcribe it onto tape, and i’d use various black boxes to remove clicks and hiss and rumble, dehissers/autocorrelator to suppress hiss, and another box to stereoize mono recordings, and EQs to notch o... | |
| A double bass is the best instrument to pair with vocals my fave vocal pairing, was slam stewart and major holley both duetting on their respective string basses, on a delightful album "SHUT YO MOUTH" which is notable for major holley's basso profundo singing down low in pitch-unison with his string bas... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? i’ve listened to the 2CE model on NAD electronics [the combo was on the darker side] and i’ve listened to my 1CI on a rega brio R [brighter balance but utterly non-harsh]. both DEMAND a larger than average listening room with plenty of breathing s... | |
| Open Baffle Experience how does the sound of OB differ from IB? if i mounted speakers in a wall separating one room from another room with no direct communication between the adjoining rooms [no windows], would infinite baffle sound the same as open baffle? or is it the... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- i would also like more reviews that test in typical compact amuuurican living rooms of typical americans with a mortgage, not auditorium-sized venues in manses. | |
| Best sounding CD player i like my upsampling CD player i got 2 decades ago. i also like the apollo made by rega, a nice mellow-sounding unit that is a good match for the equally mellow-sounding brio-r amp. | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- i stopped reading stereophile because i got tired of the lack of detail in their speaker [listener] reviews. oh sure there is a detailed tech section, but i wanted the reviewer to tell me some basic user info, such as if the speaker is on the mell... | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? i’ve heard at least two different takes on getting a wide sweet spot. the first one was via Magnepan [the speaker company] with their Tympani III speakers, which due to sheer size, dominated the room [made the ears disregard any but the direct-rad... | |
| Solid state to tube can somebody tell me the absolute worst kind of music/sound recording to play through tubes? | |

| The character of analog and digital i have never heard [via closed-back headphones] what some here refer to as a "black background" on any analog recording [tape or disc], there is always some background noise/medium noise or ambience. only in a large room did such become hard to h... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them the Castilian Spanish version of Timi Yuro’s "Hurt" ["Agonado"]. gawd almighty, that one aches in the <3 in a way the English version only hinted at. you don’t even have to understand Spanish to FEEL what she is singing. you can "hear" hurt in ... |
