| What type of speaker would sound better? Whichever ones your ears like best. I prefer horn loaded speakers some do not. | |
| Too good to be buried in a thread. Music to feel by. Thanks for reminding us how good music can be when done through heart and talent. My favorite of late is Allison Krause and Robert Plant / Raise the Roof. | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. I just did my sound room with the Artika from Costco. It has been done for about 1 month and am very pleased with the sound of the room and the aesthetics. This is also my living room so had quite a bit of cutouts to do for tv, brackets etc. These... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Mine. | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? Some good cask strength rye and a tiny bit of ganja and I am always at peace with the music. Sans alternants... I play with my shepherd for a bit, and it really never mattered. | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? In my case it is all about dynamics. When playing Slipnot (a metal band), volume will deliver the emotional response that the music is designed to deliver. If chilling to Little River Band, the emotional connection can be had without volume. Every... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question Compared the cardas cables I made myself to the AQ 44's and some top end Audio Envy cables I had used for a couple years. The cardas was more neutral and "quieter" than either. You can definitely spend more, but for me, this was a great answer to ... | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... These days, I find myself focusing on well recorded music. With access to so much content, why waste time trying to make a turd sound good. | |
| Mike's Barn. Rich people have different barns than me. Aint life grand? | |
| One of my favorite bands, one that many have never heard. Great share and a good way to start the day. My favorite in this genre is Imelda May. She was Jeff Beck's neighbor and one of his favorite singers. God rest his beautiful soul. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Depends on the situation for me. Got off work from a swing shift at the mill and have had a couple good bourbons, then 90db+. In that moment I want to feel the music to my core. Regular day just enjoying some tunes I am at 70-80db. And a good syst... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I have watched Randy's content since he started and have disagreed with him often. Never have I felt compelled to demean or excuse his opinions on gear or the music he chooses (which is not my cup of tea). But I have definitely noticed his transfo... | |
| Who has kids that are in a band or have been? You should be proud. It takes guts to put yourself out there and they did great. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Anything by Charnett Moffett. My favorite is The Art of Improvisation. He is a great stand-up bassist and musician. I first saw him with Stanley Jordan and have followed him ever since. | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? Started my adult life working American oil fields in the early 80's and when traveling my coworkers were checking out nightspots. Not me. I was hitting music stores, record stores and anything music related. When I first heard Klipsch and McIntosh... |
