| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? @richardbrand Yes, hopefully that Zeiss Loupe from China is either real or a really good fake. I have a T* Zeiss monocular and it’s as clear as you could ever hope for. Personally, I gave up 35mm a long time ago. I now use a Toyo 45 A 4X5 field ca... | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? @richardbrand I would try B&H in New York City for new or KEH in Georgia for used. Sorry for misspelling loupe. | |
| What devices have you found useful when inspecting your stylii for cleanliness? A loop is the most obvious. The best lens makers are Schneider-Kreutznach, Zeiss and Leica. | |
| a "resonance" in my left ear I have tinnitus in my left year. When I was about thirteen years old, I was playing drums for a rock trio and the idiot guitarist damaged my left ear by increasing the volume to ridiculous. The blast lasted less than twenty seconds but was enough ... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh Pre CBS Fender guitars, could become a valid comparison. | |
| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! According to my local brick and mortar audio store, this has been in the works for a while. They dropped both NAIM and McIntosh at around the same time. And though I like the looks of that blue and green meter, I could never see myself paying what... | |
| Film Scores @erik_squires Possibly The Dillards, when featured on Mayberry RFD but that's a TV series and not a film. The Cohen Brothers are I'm certain, very aware of the musical aspect to all of their films. | |
| Film Scores @frogman I do know the 'Lieutenant Kije Suite' but wasn't aware it came from a film. Also, “L’ascenseur Pour L’Echafaud” is something I had heard before and appreciated but had forgotten about. Thanks for reminding me. And I'll I'll look into the ... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 I will then stay open to adding a sub at some point. Unfortunately right now, the amount of space is limited not to mention the cost involved. I never understood why people add only one sub when they use two speakers. | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 Sorry I confused your post with jdub39. The frequency range of the Quads are 32Hz-21kHz(16dB) 28Hz-21kHz (useable). And I've never been a fan of adding a subwoofer to an electrostatic speaker but if I did, I can see where a DSP would he... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 I’ve had this system in three different environments and only needed to treat one of them. Currently, I really have no need for treatments but may consider some things just out of curiosity. The biggest advantage has been carpet under t... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 I am using an ISO Regen that has been an asset to the digital front end of my stereo. | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @pwerahera Alright, you don’t hear what I hear. But I have to wonder how much ear training you’ve invested in? And whether you grew up attending concert halls to hear large orchestras, vocal recitals, chamber groups? I am around professional music... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @bdp24 Thanks, is there a website URL for ARK recordings? I looked but I’m not finding what I think you’re referring to. I have to expand a bit on my post. When I buy CD’s (yes I still prefer the archaic CD unless it’s a DSD download) I research ... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @onhwy61 What you’re saying makes the most sense. I’m just surprised that there is such a difference between how ensembles are mic’d and that recording engineers don’t recognize the lack of separation themselves. |
