| What is Musicality? Sabai - One factor is missing in this discussion. It's passion for music. I think it accounts for 99% of music appreciation. I know people who are interested in one genre of music like Opera or Classical and don't care for the rest of it. At the v... | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field Paulsax - Cable is capacitor. Its capacitance and inductance might play role. Purity of metal might play role as well. The rest of it is a big question mark. I had two speaker cables with about similar highs, lows and midrange but one of them was ... | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field Paulsax - That's mechanics of dielectric absorption. You'll find it here: http://www.sencore.com/uploads/files/UnderstandDielectricAbsorption.pdfIs it significant? I have no idea since I don't use Audioquest but some their cables like "Sky" are ve... | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field "I use Audioquest for all my interconnect and speaker cables by the way"I use Acoustic Zen - better bang for the buck IMHO. | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field If I understand it correctly cables not used for a while sound worse and require break-in period. DBS field prevents it by keeping molecules organized all the time. Also, polarization of molecules is probably stronger with higher voltage (lower di... | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? AL - Thank you. I googled it with Tinnitus and found few articles showing link. I will tell my wife about it.There was also diet recommended on internet to drink cold water because heating 1g of water by 1 degC burns 1 calorie. People drank very c... | |
| What is Musicality? "Simple, we get bored with the music side of it and need a change to spice things up"Tonywinsc - do you think that listening thru better equipment doesn't offer better overall experience? People get better TVs to see games better not just for the ... | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? Unerdog - my wife had it for a while. MRI and other test showed nothing. It was only for about 6 months more than 10 years ago and never showed up again. We suspect that it was either stress at work place or large amount of water she drank (some s... | |
| What is Musicality? Jax2 - People became more practical in last 50-70 years and tend to learn only skills that have some market value. It was different before. Generations of our fathers or grandfathers were learning often useless skills believing that life is not pr... | |
| What is Musicality? Bryoncunningham - Good news: You can have cake and eat it too. You don't have to have inclination toward holistic or analytical listening. One can listen most of the time holistically forgetting about volts, watts dB etc. being lost in music, but ... | |
| What is Musicality? Learsfool - I've never said that musicians have worse or no ability to listen. What I said was that they are often not so much interested in listening as in performing. Also fact of being musician doesn't make somebody receive or enjoy music bette... | |
| Speaker and Equipment Stand Floor Spikes I had Paradigm Studio/60 speakers on spikes with basement underneath oak floor. I changed spikes to Vibrapods and bass became shorter and more even - I call it more musical. The only drawback of this was lack of mechanical stability (grandson is 5... | |
| What is Musicality? Sabai - Are you suggesting that musicians are better listeners? Nothing can be further from the truth. I have a friend who is jazz musician with degree in music (oboe) but he enjoys playing more than listening. My brother on the other hand finds N... | |
| What is Musicality? Tomcy6Most often I just listen to music but sometimes I analyze how I could improve it. I don't understand why it should be only one or the other. | |
| What is Musicality? Tomcy6I hear this mantra often "foot tapping music", "don't worry be happy - and don't analyze". So, shall we put random pieces together until it clicks after 1000 iterations? We all analyze, but for some reason don't want to admit it. I'm pretty ... |
