| It's all local now Big blockbuster stadium shows have improved over the years along with the facilities they occur in but are still generally the worst way to really experience live music.In general, the smaller the venue the better. | |
| Can NOLA's "Boxer" compete with big floorstanders? Sunny,Chances are you are not going to take to the OHMs with teh perspective that room filling sound is "gimmicky". Only in relation to the traditional box design. How is sound coming out of a box not a gimmick? Is that how sound works in the real... | |
| Can NOLA's "Boxer" compete with big floorstanders? IF you are auditioning the OHMS, be sure to allow adequate break-in time. Giving them some volume with a suitably beefy SS amp will help expedite that. Setup relative to walls is also important for the best imaging and soundstage.OHMs set up well ... | |

| How can you tell the quality of the recording? Unsound,I said 10-20 years, not 30. I agree more early CD recordings were of relatively poor quality. But I think they have improved over time as a whole. There there will always be some % that are inferior to others. That's usually the way things... | |
| How can you tell the quality of the recording? Uh, it either sounds good and you like it or not maybe?Most newer CDs on the last 10 -20 years are off good quality I would say. That doesn't mean you will like the sound nor that most do not have flaws on the grand scale of things. It depends mos... | |
| WAV vs. FLAC vs. AIFF If flac or any format encoded + decoded produces different results than original, assuming same resolution applied throughout then there is either a bug or defect in the system somewhere or a decision was made to sacrifice detail rather than imple... | |
| WAV vs. FLAC vs. AIFF "The amount of processing used to decode a FLAC file is really minimal. I just do not see that minor extra processing having much effect."I'd say that is a true statement plus the fact that on a general purpose computer for example, there are many... | |
