| How to get the impact of a live concert? Hey, sitting here listening to a live recording of Black Sabbath, i have no problem with not actually being there, at least with my eyes closed. It's really kinda silly some of the things we audio kooks might sweat about. | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I tend to agree that we may underestimate our ability to remember what things sound like. Our senses are powerful tools when tuned in and assessed objectively. Regardless, each person's individual senses are all we each can really depend on. | |
| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? If I already had Duet and looking to upgrade I would get the DAC right first then move up to latest and greatest player device. Touch is about due for a successor soon I would think and I would expect that to up the ante still at this stage. | |
| The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned? Is this the first topic ever here that gets ridiculed without offending anyone? Anyone, if you're out there i offer my sincere apologies. Now back to pondering the mysteries of fuses..... | |
| 500 Greatest Albums of all Times No Deep Purple? Ok that confirms it. The list is WORTHLESS. | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved "Pettyofficer, I have to say, last post was pretty well written."Well, maybe but formatting and 1 big run on paragraph is still an issue.PO, if you can get the format for your digital posts down better that might help you in the credibility depart... | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? COmparing lots of speakers is a good thing for any individual to do before buying. I'd trust each to draw their own conclusions though and what one ends up picking for whatever reason should really have no bearing on what the next would choose, as... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? In order to compare apples/apples live/in-house, ie just how the music sounds, it helps to close your eyes, and just listen. After all stereos only reproduce sound, not all the other things mentioned FBOFW at a live concert. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Batch,Glad to hear that things are shaping up as they should! | |
| Ideas on speaker like Magnepan but with high WAF OHM Walsh styling may not be everyone's cup of tea but footprint is small for sound delivered and placement fairly close to walls is possible. Decware is more omni and might require greater distance to walls, not sure. Have not heard Decware but w... | |
| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? Pre-amp generally has a huge effect on sound so trying different ones is a good place to look for sound improvements in the areas of tonality, noise levels, detail/resolution, imaging, soundstage, overall musicality, smoothness, etc. Also note tha... | |
| 500 Greatest Albums of all Times I guess RS including non rock albums including jazz, country hip hop, soul and others is thier way of saying there is more to music than rock. Gee, whoda thunk it? | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I suspect audio engineers want their work to stand out just like most pros so they all do their own thing as best we can. Recording what a live performance sounds like was cool and cutting edge back in the 50s but probably pretty passe and non dis... | |
| best vintage stereo receiver I wish I still had my Tandberg tr2080. IT was the best! | |
| Ideas on speaker like Magnepan but with high WAF I moved from Magnepan to OHM Walsh and sound improved in every way in addition to WAF. Maggies sound best well out into a room away from rear wall usually. OHMs are designed to go much closer. |
