An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..."
@n80I do see these days that more and more bands are having to rely on touring in order to make their money. There just aren't all that many bands at any given time touring in the US though. Most groups, including American bands, seem to be perpet...

You can have your views whatever they may be, I'm not here to take any of that away from you or anyone else. I was just looking for the opinions from people who had read it just so I might still be able to reign in the thread if it got too far afi... 
Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment?
It takes us a little longer to absorb our fullest impressions aurally. Visually we catch on to a lot right away...aurally not so quick, we are predominantly visual creatures...but, yeah, we still have inherently good auditory memory. DB test all y...

Yes! Good to hear from someone who read it...not that everything posted up to now was unwanted, but I was hoping to discuss mostly about what the article either said or might have implied...or might have failed to imply, FTM. Thanks.

The author is a Canadian musician of 45 years in the craft. I thought his perspective to be at the same time both objective and relevant to today. Not many journalists or industry insiders have been able to present the topic with such a clear-eyed...

Ha Ha Ha!! Maybe I’m wrong to post this here...my bad if it is. Maybe the influence of MTV was worse on society than I’d given it credit for, Lol.

I hate to interject into the furious debate here, but has anyone here bothered to actually Read the freakin' article???

One of the author’s points was that MTV reclassified music videos as "advertising" for the music industry and the artists and in fact were "pay-to-play" for the artists - money that had to be counted against royalties.

Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen!
It is interesting to see all these kinds of more recent developments (or most of them) coming not from the top down, as we've long been accustomed to, but essentially from 'the bottom up'...simple battery experiments, new inexpensive streamers (al... 
Speaker With Least Room Interaction
Provided you have enough real estate in your room to bring the speakers out away from the front wall by 3 or 4 ft, then the speaker with the least room interaction by far is going to be open baffle, period...nothing else will come close. Bass node... 
I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!
@honashagen  "My audiophile cousin has been telling me for years to fix the room." What is it that might be standing out to you that might be worst aspect of your room?...too small, too big, too live or echoey, too dead or just too irregularly s... 
I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!
"I want to hear inside the music. I want to hear the room and the reverbs. I want to hear the spit on a singers lips. I want to hear 20hz on a 32' pipe of a pipe organ. I want fast transients. Above all I don't want strident cringing top end.""O... 
I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!
