| Best Rock Album of 2014 Funny you should ask. World Party is currently touring as an electric three piece (no rhythm section). They're coming to LA in two weeks and I just bought tix 5 minutes ago. | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Sorry, I missed the other half of your question. The configuration you describe might sound great, but it's (not to beat a dead horse) a little complex for my taste. In your shoes, I'd personally be inclined to look at something like the HK 990, w... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Lewinski,I've used several different configurations, but I'm currently taking the digital signal out of my QSonix server straight into the Onkyo via coax. The Onkyo does all DSP including x-over. The twin sub out of the Onkyo goes straight to my R... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot,What would you identify as the issue with large scale orchestral works/organ music? Is it a lack of power in the lowest registers of pipe organ? Is it a lack of macro-dynamics on full orchestral swell? Both? Something else entirely?It's hard ... | |
| Where is All the DSD? I'm not sure that dropping the price of hi-rez downloads would be a good business strategy for Sony. If Sony has closely studied the market for this product (and you can be 100% sure that they have), it's entirely possible that they've concluded t... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? I, too, dislike the idea of calling bass response "slow" and prefer the term underdamped. I also like the idea of multi-sub arrays and have experimented with variations on the theme pursuant to some great posts by Duke of Audiokinesis, so I agree ... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Lewinski,I've used several active x-overs and I divide them into 2 groups. The analog models included a tubed Marchand, an NHT x-2, and the internal active x-over in my Theta Casablanca. The Marchand was too noisy for me, but that might be unique ... | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 Walinger's move from The Waterboys to World Party is one of the great examples of the Second Banana stepping up after stepping out of the shadows. Like Jeff Tweedy emerging out from under Jay Ferrar post Wilco, or even George Harrison post Beatles... | |
| Early MOFI vinyl formulation As explained to me many years ago, so IIRC:Virgin vinyl, as you might expect, is first use material. Later, it may be recycled for remanufacturing and reuse but, alas, it's no longer virgin. My understanding is that recycled vinyl requires a color... | |
| Interstin - New Jack White LP I'm a fan of Jack White, but is that YouTube thing serious or tongue in cheek? Maybe I've lost my sense of humor, but it sure looks like it's real. And if it is, I kinda think that ol' Jack may not have his priorities lined up the way I'd prefer. | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? IMO, a well executed subwoofer/mains system is very hard to beat. However, the "well-executed" part is the trick. All of the best sub implementations that I've heard use digital bass management and/or room correction and a lot of folks here won't ... | |
| In Santana we trust For me, the first record was great; a startling and original fusion of latin and rock music. Abraxas was half a step back, but still an interesting record. After that, other than Caravanserai - little of their music was of much interest to me. His... | |
| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later Capitol Theater In Passaic, NJ was a great venue. I saw Mountain, The Who, The Kinks and many others there - way too many years ago. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? RPeluso,I've seen them a bunch of times over the years, tho not in the last 5 or 6. E (Mark Everett) is kind of unpredictable. I've seen shows where he didn't say a word and others where he was engaging - it's part of the reason I was eager to get... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Rpeluso,I'd love to get your take on the eels show if you'd be willing to post about it. |
