| 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. | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @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... | |
| better wood for a plinth @lewm Similarly, the old practice of using a rubber profile between TT chassis and wood plinth is now frowned upon I assume you would include the Herbies isolating washers between chassis and plinth as well. Honestly, my plinth looks great and so... | |
| better wood for a plinth I built a tiger maple plinth for my table. I used Herbies washer between the plinth and the turntable chassis. The washers are in each corner. This combination works very well. I would recommend the washers, regardless of which type of wood you de... | |
| Pianos My fascination is with a number of pianos that were local to Eastern Europe. Long ago before the current war in Ukraine, I was spending some time in Odessa. I saw pianos I had never heard of. My friend who I was staying with had a pre Soviet pian... | |
| Pianos When I was in college, I played on a fully upright Mason & Hamlin. It was a beautiful piano in every way. A friend of mine had a 1927 Weber grand. That's a great piano to own but the Weber name is now owned by Young Chang and in my opinion are... | |
| New cartridge ideas... I’m still modifying my turntable and I am focused on the EMT mono cartridge paired with a new Audiomods tonearm. I know, not your SME and you’re most likely not considering a mono cartridge but I just wanted to share my conceptual aesthetic. | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album I also have that Heifetz/Impex record and I do have a mono cartridge. It's one of the best sounding mono records in my collection. As for remasters, Analogue Productions reissued a good number of the RCA Living Stereo three track recordings. I'd ... | |
| HH Scott 350 fm tuner @hifigeezer Good grief, this thread is nearly ten years old. Anyway, I'm able to connect a pair of RCA Monster Cables just fine. As for Radio Shack, they made some good things. They had a respectable turntable and a shortwave radio among others. T... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response I believe the dynamic speakers that Steinway made were especially fast but they are most likely out of production. I have Quad 2905’s with newer 2912 panels. I’d recommend the Quad 2912’s depending on your musical preferences. For classical/art mu... | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! @rauliruegas Yeah, I hope to get more than another ten years out of them! | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! Hey All, Thanks for the input. With twenty eight capacitors per side in the amp. There are an extra two capacitors, if not three, per side. So if two per side end up failing, I can still use the amplifier. I’m not saying I wouldn’t want them repla... | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! @gs5556 Thanks, that's good for my mental health! |
