| Dylan's "Tempest" Dylan haters need not reply Thanks for the replies, folks. Interesting comments/insights from Jburidan. Toddnkaya - yes, I've listened to Modern Times. Have quite a bit of Dylan and have really enjoyed his later output (from Time Out of Mind forward). Rpeluso - still explori... | |
| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics Loomis - no problem. I actually wasn't trying to correct you. Simply wanted to list the albums and original release dates for the stuff in the box set. Didn't even notice that discrepancy. I'll keep an eye out for the other things you mention. | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? I expect this will be unpopular, but why should I care that Emma Watson collects vinyl? It does not elevate my enjoyment but rather probably only elevates prices. No offense Blkadr - I'm guessing you are seeing this "endorsement" of the medium as ... | |
| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics Rockadanny - I'm thinking I saw a listing for an Irish Tour concert DVD. Got to watch that if I'm right. | |
| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics Loomis- The box set includes Deus (1971), Calling Card (1976), Top Priority (1979), Jinx (1982), Fresh Evidence (1990). I believe I've got those dates right. I'd heard Rory back in the day - had one or two LPs by him. On the other hand, listening ... | |
| Must see music Movie "Sugar Man." Hey Baranyi - I caught part of a CNN piece about this guy a few weeks ago. Came in part way through and didn't know they were making a movie about him. Also didn't pick up on some of the detail you mention. I won't give away the punch line. Sounds... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Thank you Steve. | |
| An audiophile dilemma Kajinki - what a great story! Did his customer right and made a righteous sale. | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Audioengr - Mind translating into words of one syllable for the digital ignorant?"playing back the .wav file using a good USB converter from a Mac Mini."OK - I know I can copy a CD onto my computer's hard drive as a .wav file. What's a USB convert... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Onhwy61 - Thanks for your careful read and spot-on reiteration of the "issue". You are right of course, simply not listening to edgy re-masters is certainly one option. I was hoping there might be a relatively simple, low-cost "fix" since various ... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Hi Nicitico - I listened to a remaster of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" last night. No edginess there. It does seem to be associated more with Rock re-masters (e.g., ELP's first).Ivan - what power conditioner do you use? | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Audioengr - Any opinion on the Plex Easy? Looks very convenient. | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Thanks all. Elizabeth & Ths364 - I will definitely try burning a CD and comparing. I've often wondered at the absolutely fantastic sound I hear at the audio dealer I frequent. He always seems to be playing a copy and not the original. [Audioen... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Thanks to all for the input. I'll note again the "edge" I'm objecting to does seem to be limited to re-mastered CDs. Most of the time I don't have complaints with other source material - so not sure it's an AC power issue (not saying over all syst... | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Been searching the forums on "taming". Came across "toilet paper" as a recommendation. Surprised how many posts came up here when I searched on "toilet". |
