| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Thanks for the recommendation, Bryon. My uncle, who taught philosophy, has given me a couple of books as well, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I think I am going to tackle mythology first, actually. I have read a few logic books, and I too... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Very interesting, Bryon, thanks very much for that very informative post. I have not yet really studied philosophy, though I intend to, and was not aware that there was such a big difference between the normal/philosophical definitions of those te... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Very informative post, Bryon! I am still unclear on my original question, though. I follow your discussion about truth being objective and human judgement subjective, and I do not find that strange. But WHY do you say that a Subjectivist is unable... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw, the example I gave in my last post was of computer music being played back to a live audience, not someone listening to it on their own on their own system. I thought this was clear from the context, I apologize. However, I think most people ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Hi Bryon - first, the performance discussion. All music MUST be performed, otherwise it has no function or purpose (some would even argue that it has no existence without performance, though I am not sure if I would go that far). Even a completely... | |
| Rega apollo v NAD 565 BEE comparsion Others? I have heard all three, and IMO the Rega is the best machine, and that is what I bought - I liked the bigger soundstage you mentioned in particular, as well as the warmer sound. The Cambridge is quite bright in comparison, I would prefer the NAD b... | |
| CLassical: Rca, London, Col, Mercury..... I agree that all of these are variable. IME, the "shaded dogs" in particular very widely, I have had more disappointments with them than any of the others you mention. I have rarely been disappointed by a Mercury, as long as you stay away from the... | |
| Best turntable setup for under $300 I second the Rega P1 suggestion, and if you by a used one you could get it for your stated budget. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw and Bryon - you both seem to be assuming that a "performance" must be a live event. Musicians consider all recordings to be performances. The difference between a live and a recorded performance is that the recorded performance is permanent, a... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Hi Bryon - to reply to the first part of your post first, I could certainly quibble with you about that distinction. Especially the "performance" part - one could argue that even a device going straight to a recording medium is still a performance... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Hi Bryon - good reply. I grant your point that 4) does not necessarily follow from 3) ( truthfulness of types of recordings cannot validly be inferred from the repeatability of types of performances). However, I completely disagree with you about ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Hi Bryon - just saw your most recent post. Very interesting. My initial thought, after reading it twice and thinking about it, is that I am not so sure that you don't have your points 5a and 5b (and therefore the following 6a and 6b) backwards. If... | |
| what is difference of klipsch cornwall II & mkII ? You will not get better dynamics, both loud and soft, than with horn speakers, this is one of their greatest virtues. They also image and soundstage very well, and are good for any type of music. There is a thread probably about a month old or mor... | |
| Rack/component fans? I really like the Sanus six-shelf audio rack I bought (Natural Foundations, I think they call it). Very easy to assemble, lots of airspace, rock solid, no vibration or ventilation problems at all. Also bought their matching TV stand and CD storage... | |
| what is difference of klipsch cornwall II & mkII ? I believe the original Cornwalls were made up until 1985, then the Cornwall II's were made until the early 90's, I think. Now they have the Cornwall III's, which are much more expensive. Don't think there is any difference between Cornwall II and ... |
