@vair68robert - A tribute to John Fahey? I didn't know such a thing existed; that must be quite the endeavor - I'm trying to imagine how you'd 'interpret' John Fahey without being him! I will look into this, thanks...   
Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound?
I do know what sounds better to me. I do not know how true it is to what the artist, the producer, the mixer, and the mastering engineers laid down, as I was not there for any recording sessions so cannot make a comparison.   
Has Anyone Else Listened to Carina Round?
I wouldn't have thought there would be vineyards in Arizona - maybe that's why it was terrible? 😁  
All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong

@dsper - Indeed - when they are performing at the level they will get to, 'laid back' will not be the first phrase that enters your mind. 😁 Enjoy the break-in process - you'll get to that 'Eureka!' moment...   
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
What @tylermunns says sounds like a perfectly reasonable statement to me and bothers me not a jot.   
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
What does Christ have to do with digital pitch correction? Didn't realize there was a theological aspect to it.   
The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd
You can synch lots of things up with lots of other things and find really fun correlations. In the early days of MTV, I used to enjoy watching music vids but playing something else on my system - very entertaining how things would seem to work tog...

Doesn't bother me in the least - I'm just interested in the sausage, not how it was made....

@dsper - if those Carbons are new and anything like the Carrerra's I have, in a few hundred hours they will sound nothing like they do now. Mine were pretty ratty sounding with the various frequency ranges sounding unacquainted with each other for...
