| Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth @erik_squires,It was pretty much the exact same story for up-and-coming conductors when it came to Stravinsky’s The Rite Of Spring. Plenty of winners and losers in that group, too!Both titles are among the most frequently recorded ever. | |
| Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth Love me some Vivaldi and Bach, too. And you’re so right, @tablejockey, the bargains are there. All the Trevor Pinnocks, Carmignolas and even Fabio Bondi’s, too...and more. It used to be that you just hadn’t "arrived" as an up-and-coming violinist ... | |
| Doubting Sound Treatment ? Thanks @jdeickhoff. Yes, it is definitely going to be a hatful. Originally I thought I would post the whole thing after it was done, but now I think it would be too much to try to explain in retrospect, so I may post it, pics and all, in one place... | |
| Doubting Sound Treatment ? @jdeickhoff, I’m currently planning for an Acoustic-Fields-designed, dedicated listening room to be added onto the back of my 2-car garage, building to begin in a month or so. My GC will be looking at how much it will cost me to frame the room, as... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic @ishkabibil, Sorry about that. I think that was my round-about way of saying that like a lot of people, I had just assumed the 'you are there' or 'they are here' was more or less 'baked into' the gear somehow. The fact that it changed on me from o... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic @maghister, Yes, I did indeed neglect to mention the 'mechanical' through oversight. I have a digital, ss system and found an excellent mechanical solution some time ago that works so well that I rarely give it any more thought, so it slipped my m... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic Thank you @audiokinesis, all that seems to me to be on the money. For my own experiences with it, there seems to be (in this sense) 2 sides to getting the First Venue cues to dominate as effectively as possible.I think of the result that the ear h... | |
| DSP and stores - Anyone else get the feeling they might be sweetening? I think not letting you listen to any of your own music is a key tip off. Not that I'd say you can't do business with them because of that, just that they may not be operating transparently on that score, as you say.BTW, just wait until the issue ... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies But, the home environment is not a vacuum. RF can be reflected or blocked, can it not?? | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Or else, they seem to work for maybe everything but RF. But, if I'm having RF problems, then I haven't identified them with my ears yet. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Just going on what I been told. But, such products do seem to work. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I don't really know the answer to that question either, although I've been told that when you have the 'soup of noise' in the home environment all the different 'alphabets' (EMR, EMI, RFI, microwaves, etc, etc) are not just 'passing through' each ... | |
| What do you think about this statement about "AUDIOPHILE"? I think it might usually be a little dangerous to try define the boundaries of this hobby. Whatever rule you think you might be inclined to come up with that seems to fit, then along comes the exception that disproves it. I’d say there are, in the... | |
| Asking suggestion for $15,000 audio system for classical music Hi @classicalguy, I think @millercarbon makes a fair point: it would likely be a missed opportunity to budget for more expensive gear alone instead of scaling back in terms of the cost of the components themselves and using the remainder of your b... | |
| Who else here is frugal? "If I can add something, i truly respect all people, frugal or not, i hate only the word because the act appear to me, more often than not, like an obsession without love..."Yes, that is what I took you to mean. To remember to be more liberal with... |
