| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial It is so important to realize that we are listening to productions on our hifi. Every one is different! Like an art museum. Every work is different and done by different people with different techniques for different reasons. How boring if all art... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial From Wikipedia:“Joe Osborn played two separate bass tracks, one high and the other low.”Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound approach was not intended to sound “natural”. | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I read BOTW was produced using Phil Spector “Wall of Sound” production techniques. Read up on that and explains a lot. The first part with just vocal and piano is a much simpler production. It sounds like the piano was closely stereo miked which s... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I’m on the side of the fence that says I enjoy hearing what old radio tunes really sound like on a good quality modern hifi rig.. It’s often nothing like what you remember....so many things happening that were obscured prior.If it’s relative lo-fi... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Uber yes I figured. I was joking too. My mental state has never been more acute. 🤡. Famous last words.... | |
| Game Changing Tweak prag,It’s the only argument one has when there is nothing concrete to substantiate a claim. Why people choose to spend money on things that apparently work by magic rather than for some good reason is beyond me. It’s a personal matter mostly. Peop... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Hey I make no claims regarding my own mental performance personally. So please take things with a grain of salt or two. I’m just happy that I still have a mind and my bosses still find it adequate. :^) | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. mapman here and sorry to borrow Sam's catch phrase but just to keep the record straight I think Sam needs to refine his logic and deductive skills just a tad perhaps before being considered among the group of the world’s "great minds" like those ... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Those two recordings are apples and oranges. All recordings are produced differently. If that is what you are hearing it is probably an indicator that your hifi is delivering what is in the recording better than before. Recordings are what they ar... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 Gte I have heard the LTA amps at shows. The ZOTL design sounds pretty much just as advertised and related in reviews. | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 Were it me I would go with the LTA. | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming Sorry to hear about the caps but that makes more sense as the likely cause of distortion than network issues which again can result in delays if insufficient bandwidth but not aware of that ever being the cause of distortion, especially with a WiF... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws This reminded me I have not checked the wing nuts on my Ohm Walsh driver boards in awhile. They were still pretty tight but one or two had a slight give. Now they are tight for sure and I think I hear a difference. Or do I? I have a pretty active ... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws Well brass screws are not expensive so if someone thinks they are worth it not a big deal.If Uber expensive audiophile brass screws from Synergistic or others suddenly start popping up it would look very suspicious. | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws The drivers need to be mounted securely for sure. Loose screws/drivers not firmly mounted will negatively affect exactly the things the op mentioned. As will defective gaskets. Most screws will need tightening from time to time in that the vibrati... |
