| Analog vs Digital Confusion I have many albums that sound more natural than the same cd. Very rarely does the cd match or exceed the album's ability to replicate the sound of music in the room. As for DDD recordings on vinyl--usually, there is not much of a difference betwee... | |
| Stick a fork in Dylan, he's done. Think the last few albums have been ok, but Tempest is very good. Just me. None of the recent albums rate with his best--but then a mediocre Dylan is better than most other artists. | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? Agree with Astewart8944. I actually think that is a small (and I mean small) reason why Springsteen has always sounded better live. The studio team holds the sound back and the constant redoing no doubt robs a sense of spontaneity and excitement t... | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? Bruce has gone on record many times as saying that BTR was deliberately muddy to mimic wall of sound. Despite that explanation, I believe that Bruce's studio albums are with few exceptions, among the worst sounding in popular music. The exceptions... | |
| Stick a fork in Dylan, he's done. Glad to see that No Mercy is well regarded by others here. IMO his most underrated album. The SACD remaster sounds spectacular. For me--Blood On the Tracks, Blonde on Blonde and Highway 61. The new stuff is still good, not great,--although I do li... | |
| Choice for wilson Watt/puppy 5.1 internal wiring Agree with Elberoth2. | |
| What About Loom Theory? Thanks Al. I always read your posts with interest. | |
| King of the one liners 2 peanuts are walking down the street. One's a salted.Horse walks into a bar. Bartender asks:Why the long face? | |
| Choice for wilson Watt/puppy 5.1 internal wiring There is a youtube video of how to change the internal wiring of a Wilson W/P. But of course, proceed with caution. I agree with the other contributors here. The WP requires exacting set up to sound the best so first make sure you have followed th... | |
| What About Loom Theory? Hi Al:The principles you refer to are unassailable and indeed important variables in cable selection. One other principle that my ears taught me over the years is that a Nordost cable has a different sound than a Cardas cable and, absent an extrem... | |
| What About Loom Theory? Onhwy61I have no experience with the loom theory as it applies to digital cables or pcs---only with interconnects and speaker cables. You make a valid point in that some manufacturers are known for their preamps, others for their amps, others for ... | |
| 12.12.12 concert Roger Waters was an easy no 1. Highlight of the eve--Comfortably Numb Bruce too much sermon-type stuff--would have worked better near the end of the show. Clapton all good. Chris Martin very good. Who--very good effort understanding that Roger is ... | |
| What About Loom Theory? Like anything else in audio, the only way to know if it works for you is to try it.Listen to a loom that you think might work and then try to change a few cables here or there and see what it does to the overall sound. The loom theory works for me... | |
| What About Loom Theory? Having experimented with numerous cables for years,Tara, Kimber, Stealth, Nordost, Shunyata, Audioquest and others as mix and match and otherwise, I am a firm believer in the loom theory. Every cable has a character. Some provide better leading ed... | |
| Best Rock Albums of 2012 On the pop side, but Some Nights by FUN. is remarkable. The one I listened to the most even over very good efforts by Dylan, Willie Nelson and the Boss. |
