| Dirac Live - horrible? Dont work Doesn't seem that it is working properly. In my experience with DL, the resulting corrections should be readily seen in the curves and the resulting sound should be lower in gain as necessary for overhead compensation. I've not used that parti... | |
| Dirac Live - horrible? Dont work This is an old app for NAD T or M series AVRs and, as you saw, the ratings are low and there are warnings that it doesn’t work. Why are you surprised? | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? The subjectivists seem less worried about being duped by some unusually clever nasty capitalist. There may be various explanations for that and not all of them are complimentary. | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? When these two camps retire to their listening rooms, which school of thought tends to get better sound? That's the wrong question because they are likely to define "better" differently. The real question is "Which school of thought tends to b... | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? lowrider57 wrote: Because some engineers in the heyday of multi mic'ing would place a mic on each individual instrument instead of 2 or 3 per section. Some conductors, particularly Karajan liked to be involved in engineering the production proce... | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? @kr4 I wasn’t addressing brightness in the Ivan Fisher recordings, should have separated the two thoughts. My issue is with many modern day Bruckner digital recordings. There is emphasis on the brass (trumpets and trombones) due to over mic’ing o... | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? lowrider57 wrote: No, but I've heard the outstanding sonics of his Maher cycle. Will check it out on Qobuz. The close and multi-micd Bruckner is not always what I consider bright, but the brass section can also be too forward in the mix. They... | |
| Is teflon based lubricating spray bad for tonearm bearings? But Linn is still in business, so you can still ask. | |
| Why do all Mahler recordings seem too bright? lowrider57 wrote: May I go off-topic for a moment? I find many of the Bruckner digital recordings bright, and this only applies to the horns. Massed strings sound perfect, but all those mic's on the brass section ruin some performances for me. ... | |
| Great Classical Recordings I have Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos by Jordi Savall ALIA Vox SACD 1991 Very Good. This is much better than the original LP or CD but, imho, it ain’t a great recording. OTOH, it is a great performance. I was not referring to this recordi... | |
| Great Classical Recordings Beethoven Symphonies 5&7, Weiner Philharmoniker, Carlos Kleiber DG 1975 / 1976 / 2003 SACD This is much better than the original LP or CD but, imho, it ain't a great recording. OTOH, it is a great performance. Any recording by Jordi... | |
| Line level surround input Aside from low-level stuff like Logitech and Areal, there are many individual speakers and speaker pairs that will accept analog line-level inputs. They are referred to as active speakers and you can buy as many as you need. Few are packaged as ... | |
| If you feed a DAC with USB does XLR matter as much? Does running XLR matter as much if you use a USB input from a streamer instead of an AES/EBU from a good transport? These things are independent and the choice for DAC input has no impact on the choice for DAC output. | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon So, if I get Roon, would I be doing the same thing from the Roon app on my laptop or phone? You would be controlling it from your laptop or phone but, as the previous poster says, the Roon Core is doing the work and it will reside on your lapto... | |
| Digital power cord for tube amp? It will work fine if it can handle the requisite amperage. Bye. Lots of silly stuff follows. |
