| Do isolation devices really help? Donald, I couldn't resist the previous attempt at humor. Seriously, this subject requires experimentation. My turntable doesn't want anything other than a well-coupled stand to sit on. My electronics don't seem to care one way or another and my CD... | |
| Do isolation devices really help? There seems to be a huge difference in my enjoyment factor when I sit on pads versus cones. I prefer the pads. | |
| Orchestral brass and fanfare - analysis of system Judit,I'm sorry I gave such a brief reply to your post. The other members have addressed your concern more fully than I have. My statement was made from listener experience since I have yet to hear a full orchestra classical recording that is repr... | |
| Cheap Old Preamps You should be able to buy a Linn LK1 without remote for that amount. It's a great buy, having both a MC and MM phono stage and a boatload of inputs. It uses XLR connections for everything except the phono stage which is RCA. There is a stepping so... | |
| Burning a CD I'm a fairly astute computer user but not a techie by any stretch of the imagination. I use a Hitachi DVD drive for the master and a Sony burner with the Spresa software that came with it. I don't copy directly but rather make a temporary image on... | |
| Sinatra - good vs great mgattmch@noos.fr has given you a valuable insight. The early mono recordings are incredible. Old Blues eyes voice changed dramatically through the years with his earliest stuff being, IMO, the best. You also get the added bonus of listening to the... | |
| Burning a CD I mainly use the most generic of media purchased for $15 per 100 from Compusa. I've never had any of the problems I occassionally read about in these forums. I admit to not listening to many CD's in my music room often, preferring that medium in m... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Your thread title explains it all. Music comes from the mental exercise of tapping ones emotions. If what you hear connects with some small part of your emotion it will, at the least, capture your attention momentarily. Should a composer/artist ta... | |
| Orchestral brass and fanfare - analysis of system I believe you are experiencing the limits of recording practices and therefore this is a software issue. Garbage in, garbage out. | |
| No computer?? Rives,Very interesting post. I recently took a vacation back to where I was raised and educated. My time was divided between visiting with high school chums and the audiophile friends of long ago. I got the pleasure of auditioning lots of tube bas... | |
| Music industry troubles caused by radio? Yeah, this is a complex issue and one that I cannot address outside of the U.S. In the U.S. we have 3 major corporations that own the majority of the stations. Payola is real, in that the stations are paid by the record companies to promote certai... | |
| MC cartridge s question?? Incredible score! I don't know about the others but I'll give you your total investment for the Red. I doubt if you'll take me up on it once you read the posts. | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Coca Cola and a doobie. | |
| tapestries and posters help with sound absorption? Audiogoon,I like your handle by the way. I rather doubt what I'm describing is meant for foundations. This would be used commercially for perhaps meat locker walls. I've been carting around three boxes of the stuff for 20 years. I can find no prod... | |
| Best sounding music Janis Ian, "Breaking Silence", on LP, great music, stunning recording. Folks, this is my reference recording. The generic CD version is very shallow however.Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", on LP, even my non-bluegrass loving... |
