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...

@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...

@mahler123 I am using an ISO Regen that has been an asset to the digital front end of my stereo.

@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...

@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 ...

@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.

@audphile1 Most of my files are from an SSD, local rather than streaming. I prefer Manic Moose to Roon where sound is concerned. Actually my point of comparison comes from live venues. Hearing music in a good sounding concert hall. This is where I... 
Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings
@audphile1 I don't have warm components. The post should pertain to the inconsistencies regarding orchestral recordings. Some are great, some are poor and there's a lot in between.  Here's a list of my components; Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC. Bryston BDP ... 
Phil Lesh
Last time I saw Phil Lesh was at ‘Fare Thee Well’ in Santa Clara. He made some announcements regarding his liver transplant and being an organ donor. As a musician, I can’t think of another electric bass player that played harmony and counterpoint...
