| One guitar, or three? @leadcrew + 1 Eddie!!! | |
| Pink Floyd’s brand new song @daledeee1 - I don't know, but I'd like to think that somebody as socially conscious as Roger would be working on something of his own or with other people besides David (I guess they're just never going to get along, sadly) to help them out; have... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? @kevn - good points, but how does that account for the fact that more recordings will tend to sound good to a listener than bad or mediocre, though some will most definitely sound bad or mediocre? And some people just can't modify their listening... | |
| 2022 Grammy Award Show? @lonemountain + 1 - and totally agree with you about Rick Rubin, Brad! | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? I've found the opposite - the better the system, the more it reveals how bad/mediocre the source was.... Good sounding sources sound even better, though.... | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? @viridian - 🤣 + 1 | |
| What to play in the evening? @awboat + 1 ! | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? 'Wine, women, and song' evolved into 'sex and drugs and rock and roll', as Ian Dury's song goes, and I am totally down with that! I don't drink wine, but cannabis sure goes well with music! | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @bdp24 - I used to have that Dave Mason LP with the swirly colors back when I was in college, when it first came out. Excellent sounding recording, too - we used to use it to judge sound systems! You were a product buyer at Tower? I used to be a... | |
| 2022 Grammy Award Show? @lonemountain - you can bet that the people at home watching the awards and every record company exec will certainly think the judgement is about the music. Record companies don't promote their albums as 'Grammy winners' because they are selling ... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? No. | |
| 2022 Grammy Award Show? Even during my 10 years in the music business in the 70's/80's, I never paid attention to the Grammies, but then I don't watch any other awards shows, either. It's not about whether I like the music or not, and I probably would like most of the m... | |
| One guitar, or three? Seen plenty of multi-guitar outfits in my time, from the Rolling Stones to the Grateful Dead to original Allmans to Wishbone Ash to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Television etc etc, but these days, I care a lot more about the song than the guitars; heard my s... | |
| “Faithful to the recording” I agree, but I'd still rather hear 'faithful to the recording' than 'faithful to the performance', which I've always found to be an absurd concept. | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @ghdprentice + 1 |
