Anyone got and album database for iPhone?
Onemalt, could one speed up the data entry process by copying and pasting, or will I have to retype my entire database? I do have good typing skills, but would rather not retype everything if I didn't have to. I might be willing to though, if it m... 
"They are here" vs. "You are there"
Hi Newbee - I didn't take that comment personally, I just felt like responding to what is after all a very common comment made here on this site. You are by no means the only person who has made such a comment. I'm not offended by it, I just see i... 
"They are here" vs. "You are there"
Hi Bryon - we are generally in agreement here. Where I would differ with you would be on the subject of the listening room being much of a factor at all in picking up what you are calling "ambient cues" in the recording. The listening room is of c... 
Anyone got and album database for iPhone?
Sebrof, is it true that Collectorz only works for items with bar codes? This would be of no use for my LP collection if so, which is what I really want it for. I do catalog in Excel, but there is no way to transfer that to my iPhone that I know of. 
"They are here" vs. "You are there"
Hi Bryon - I have just read through this entire thread now, and there are alot of very good comments by you and Al and many others about the effect of the listening room, ambience cues, etc. I would agree with most of it. However, I also agree wit... 
"They are here" vs. "You are there"
Hi Bryon - you have once again started a very interesting thread indeed, and while I have not yet been able to read all of it yet (which I will do as soon as I get a better chance), I do have one immediate comment on the recording aspect, somethin... 
Anyone got and album database for iPhone?
That would indeed be a VERY useful item, wish one existed! 
best AVR for dual use in HT/music?
I ran a Harmon Kardon AVR for years, they are definitely built well and sounded good. They do run hot, though, as someone else said, and as I did not have it adequately ventilated at the time, it eventually crapped out on me. I have saved it in ca... 
Klipsch Chorus or Cornwall II
If your budget is $1200, that is more than necessary for either Chorus or Cornwall (used, of course). I agree with Flemke that $850 is too much for the Chorus. I love my Cornwall II's, which often go for around that amount or a little more. 
hearing tests - where and how?
Musicnoise, there is no need to get nasty and insult mine or anyone else's intelligence in these forums. I am truly sorry if I offended you with the flippant nature of my previous post - it was not meant to be a personal attack; I was trying to be... 
Audiophiles are older than dirt
I only scored 9, less than half, so I guess I am definitely not older than dirt, but not a spring chicken, either. 
hearing tests - where and how?
HI guys - I am a bit mystified by your hostility to this idea - unless I read that article Al linked wrong, I thought it clearly stated that the brain activity of I think it was 6 of the 16 people registered very differently when tones above 20kHz... 
hearing tests - where and how?
Thanks very much Kal and Al for the info and the link. Sounds to me like the question is very much unanswered. Just because modern technology cannot measure whether we can hear above 20K does not mean that we cannot. I personally would not be so d... 
Best recordings of Debussy piano music......
If you want to go more old school, you might be able to find Walter Geiseking's recordings of the Debussy Preludes on the "burlap" Angels, the mono ones. 
hearing tests - where and how?
Hi Kal - so apparently the research I read about back then has been called into question in the last twenty years at some point? If so, this is honestly the first I have ever heard of it - as I said, I remember it being discussed in multiple studi...
