| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." I hate to interject into the furious debate here, but has anyone here bothered to actually Read the freakin' article??? | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." 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. | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." I for sure wouldn't say that it's been perfected, just that all that continues to be a moving target, just like the desire to create. | |
| 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! Some things come to my mind: 1) If you're "bored" listening to that kind of equipment list then something must surely be wrong with your setup somewhere. 2) When most people are using the word "soul" to describe their connection to the sound, they... | |
| Music I would succumb to under torture Ve vill make you lizzen to Donna Zummer - all Vinter, until you Fall!! | |
| Bi-amp benefits with active crossover Ok, gotcha I believe. This then is the problem unless the active crossovers (or filters that you guys were talking about above) are applied at the input, yes?...not the output. And if they were applied at the input, then all 10V would be available... | |
| Bi-amp benefits with active crossover @erik_squires Forgive me if I've failed to grasp something here that I did not know before, I'm feel sure it might be something simple, but I'm still having trouble discerning what that is. Can you elaborate a bit more for me here?If as you say "t... | |
| Bi-amp benefits with active crossover IOW, we only need consider an amp to be ’overworked’ by thinking purely in terms of its "output" (volume level), not its "input". That is, any crossover, passive or active, is perfectly sufficient to reduce the amp’s normal workload (as long as it... | |
| Bi-amp benefits with active crossover As long as you keep using your passive crossovers, then I'm afraid there is audibly not going to be any real-world justification for this change. None whatsoever IMHO. The reduction in bass frequencies are largely redundant here...and the only poi... | |
| In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment? I built my ($8k) system not to ’scale the summit’ by itself, per se, but primarily to avoid all the usual sorts of mistakes that I saw being imposed by manufacturers in the name of "costs", "practicality" or the "traditional approach" based more o... | |
| In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment? @whart +1When it's right and real sounding, it's either all too hard or it's all too easy to list all the individual things that matter. When you know you're there, it's really a total result overall. |
