| Question about sound stage BTW, if you get some of those older Beatles recordings that were intended for mono but were turned into stereo, the vocals ARE mostly all on one side! | |
| What a pile of Schiit @highway_chile - I think that 'compatible with any headphone' has more to do with marketing than anything else. I doubt they'd expect anybody to think that this $100 will sound great driving Susvara headphones, for example. It would drive them, ye... | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? I've got the new KLH Model 5's and I love them - they are perfect for my system and my music (mostly rock and reggae), much more so than the Harbeth Super HL-5's that I just sold; these speakers do not sound at all similar to me, though they are a... | |
| Broken Tube Guide Key I've had the same thing happen to me, and yes indeed, it does make a difference how the tube is aligned.... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - More than just 'she' - as the saying goes, 'Blondie is a group'! 😎 - and Chris Stein writes most of the songs. And Clem Burke is one of the greatest drummers in rock. But yeah, the lyrics in 'Rapture' pay tribute to GM Flash and Fab 5 Fre... | |
| Am I a hopeless audio snob? I've got a $4000 Technics turntable, and it is great! It may look like a 'DJ turntable', but underneath the hood, it most certainly is not. And you'd need to be a pretty strong DJ to haul this thing around! | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - Hah! I see so much weird stuff on these forums that I DON'T know that! 🤔 I have no doubt that there are people who think that was the first rap song....I love 'Rapture' - such a haunting melody, and I like Debbie's rap, too! | |
| Bit the Dollar and bought headphones. @smatsui - You've got some great gear!! 👍 I was sorely tempted by Bakoon, but it was not available anymore during temptation time. I am still interested in hearing the Enlium in my system, and when I find someplace here in the US that's got it in... | |
| What are your favorite "HOT" songs? @tablejockey - I saw Montrose a lot in San Francisco when that first album came out. I reckon that if Sammy and Ronnie hadn't had such ego conflicts, they could have become the American Led Zeppelin.... 'Montrose' and 'Paper Money' are such great ... | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman put out some pretty amazing sounding records.... I'm not the biggest fan, but I can appreciate it. Saw him at a club in San Francisco shortly after 'Bat Out of Hell' came out... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Seems to me that criticizing hip-hop for lack of 'musical creativity' or whatever, is like criticizing a symphony because you don't like tympani - it's not the point of the music. It's about rhythm and words and the rhythm of words.... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @sounds_real_audio - Uh, no - 'Rapture' was not the first rap song; very, very far from it - it was paying tribute to earlier rappers like Grandmaster Flash... | |
| What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs? @czarivey - totally agree with you about the heat!! I live in San Francisco, where it doesn't get above that very often, especially in the summer months, where you're more likely to freeze than get too hot. | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption So much ignorance on here it's breathtaking. | |
| Your favorite album cover... Beatles white album. |
