| Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation mapman said:" Shouldn’t any true hi end system be able to reproduce any recording accurately, including very loud ones? "I do not understand the concept that better equipment can compensate for compressed dynamic range (the end result of excessiv... | |
| Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation Just watched a clip from a video interview of Mark Knopfler regarding his "Tracker" album. The setting is his studio with its large analog mixing board. Very little computer stuff to be seen other than his laptop. He indicates that this is where h... | |
| Flaws in this chain? Thank you. Excellent advice. | |
| Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation Thanks lowrider, great article.In the context of contemporary pop music as heard on large radio stations, I would say yes, it does all sound the same.I saw an article about that hit pop song "Meet Me In The Middle". It indicated that it had a whol... | |
| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. I did some research. The MFBP album that I paid $30 for is a 1969 Capital repress so it is fairly early. On Discogs the prices range from $15 to $85 (+ shipping) for this pressing. The reasons for the wide range in price are not clear to me. Some ... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... You wrote a whole paragraph complaining about oddball posts that don't make sense and didn't even remotely make yourself clear. Maybe its contagious. | |
| When you audition equipment, what albums do you bring? I've never auditioned audio equipment. But if I did I would probably only need one album: Steely Dan "Two Against Nature". If I carried a second it would be Mark Knopfler's "Tracker".If I was selling audio equipment "Two Against Nature" would be i... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Neko Case - Middle Cyclone. Again. Her music doesn't really hit me initially. But the more time I spend with it the better it gets. | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... He is referring to the dynamic range of the CD. As I understand it the dynamic range is the range of audible sound or tone from quietest to loudest. (Probably all the wrong terms but you can get what I'm saying). The CD you referenced has very poo... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days orpheus10 said:"High end audio is not a necessity, and as each year passes, the middle class is restricted more to "necessities". Not a good recipe for the high end."I think the logic of this is sound. And surely it is true in many cases. But I th... | |

| Flaws in this chain? Thanks. That helps me understand what I'm up against.But here's a question....why don't device makers, at least high end device makers, include some method for decreasing jitter in the device itself?And as for the Chromecast. Still 'jittery' but l... | |
| Flaws in this chain? Okay, just now spent some time researching music via iTunes via ATV. SQ stinks. Even I can hear it. The only way I can describe it is muddy. So it isn’t even all that great for previewing music. Doing the same thing without ATV (MacBook to DAC via... | |
| Flaws in this chain? Thanks wtf. It really sounds like ATV is dismal on all counts for this process and I appreciate all the advice I’ve gotten in this thread. Fortunately the only money I’ve spent so far is for the mid-grade Toslink cable. With all this info in mind ... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? Well, I think anyone approaching any internet forum on any subject needs to be a little thick skinned. Its just the world out there and the world can be a mean place.I think better communication skills would help us all.I often ask for help on som... |
