| Are todays digital recordings engineered to sound best on a smartphones? glennewdick, You might be right. But it still doesn't make sense. Most of the folks playing through the computer or cell phone probably have Sound Check or some version of it turned on and don't even know it. So the attention grabbing effect of hi... | |
| Are todays digital recordings engineered to sound best on a smartphones? @gawdbless : I should have been more specific. Both the Tedeschi Trucks and Gary Clark, Jr. albums I was referring to are studio albums. Their DR has been tested and in some cases by more than one person. DR is terrible.As far as Tom Petty, I was ... | |
| Trained ears. @tomic601 : "going to try it soberfirst...."Safer. But generally not as fun or revealing. | |
| Are todays digital recordings engineered to sound best on a smartphones? roberjerman, That might be true but I have plenty of rock and pop albums that were produced at the highest levels possible and with extraordinary DR. Mark Knopfler and Steely Dan are standouts in that respect.I am particularly disappointed in Tede... | |
| Trained ears. @gosta : You bring up a good point in regard to transparency. For me that was one of the first things I was really able to articulate about what made me like hi-fi SQ. With my system the speakers disappear. It does not sound like the music is comi... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? You have to wait for it, most of the song is taken from Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years". The "Hunter" part comes in at the end. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? farmstar:Reminds of a line I saw on a poster from Despair.com. (If your sense of humor is sufficiently dark and cynical, head on over there to their site).It said: MEETINGS - None of us is as dumb as all of us.This can be said of almost anywhere p... | |
| Are todays digital recordings engineered to sound best on a smartphones? I only have Sony MDR 7506 headphones and don't use them much so can't really say much about DR compression vs headphones. | |
| Are todays digital recordings engineered to sound best on a smartphones? I’ll say straight up that I am not a big fan of Greta Van Fleet....but I am a huge fan of a band that tours with them from time to time called the Struts. Same thing happened to me with them. Sounds fine in the car. Sounds okay on ear buds. Sounds... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Bozz Skaggs - Silk Degrees. Ripped CD. The man can sing.@david_ten : I discovered Albert King when I started a mission to collect all the original blues songs Led Zeppelin ripped off. King's "The Hunter" which is on the Born Under a Bad Sign album... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw : I'm still getting into the Cowboy Junkies. So far I have found Lay It Down to be their most engaging album and I really like it a lot. What others ones do you like? | |
| Trained ears. I agree that it can be taken too far. For me anyway. I do not wish to be come over analytical and I generally do not enjoy the time I spend listening to my equipment although some of that is necessary. It just not what I want my primary focus to b... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? Another question: Does anyone know which brand of tubes came in the LS-16 MkI from the factory? I can find the type but not the brand. I could pull my pre-amp out and take the lid off to find out but if someone knows that would be a lot easier. Th... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @mofimadness On the scale of things in the tube world those are quite inexpensive, even for the platinum. What would you say were the characteristics of those tubes? | |
| Trained ears. I’m a new audiophile but have always admired and recognized quality playback from the time I was a kid. I have a couple of thoughts in this matter based on what I’ve learned over the last 5 or 6 months that I’ve been into this.First, all the advic... |
