| Personal vs. Market Values He said it was a mistake so he wasn't assuming liberties. If it was a driver's license or an airline ticket, that's another story. This is an entertainment forum. I don't really care how someone spells my name here. | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? slaw said:@n80,"Although you're last comment wasn't directed at me, I had to say you are very blessed."Indeed. And its all her. I don't bring much to the table. | |
| Flaws in this chain? djones51, I have not actually tried Tidal hi-res on this set-up.Ripped CDs played through USB to low end Schiit DAC do not sound the same as CD through CDP but it is quite close. In A-B testing I find the CD to be brighter and the ripped CD throug... | |
| Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation I think a lot of folks are focusing too much on the title and not the content of the OP’s post and the link he provided. The point is that pop music is being produced in a formulaic fashion the likes of which have not been seen before, much the wa... | |
| When you audition equipment, what albums do you bring? curiousjim, I've been a Dire Straits fan from the beginning but I'm just now getting into Knopfler's solo work, but yes, Tracker was released in 2015. He is very prolific and has 10 solo studio albums. Sailing to Philadelphia did not appeal to me ... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. I plugged the rear bass ports again. The first time I did this I thought it made things better and maybe it did help with the droning quality of the bass but it also created an overall flatness that I did not like.Decided not to bother hefting 130... | |
| Flaws in this chain? All that I can say is that using the chain I described in the OP above, the SQ is not particularly good...but it is with basic iTunes files....which don't sound too good to me most of the time anyway.I have not compared a hi-res ripped CD through ... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? reubent, as I mentioned my two favorite concerts were R.E.M in the mid 80s when they hadn't yet gotten huge and then The Struts about a month ago. One common denominator: my wife was with me at both. She was my girlfriend for the first and wife of... | |
| Good Achtung Baby CD? I got a bad one. obergaiman, thanks for the response. I have not listened to this CD much since I posted this thread. Will have some time this afternoon to play around with speaker position and blocking the rear facing bass ports. Will have to mark current speaker... | |
| Thoughts on Big Star I have that song! It also came on one of the Oxford American Southern Music CDs. I did not know Chilton sang on the song. I have been exposed to tons of great music that I never would have heard otherwise through those CDs. I’ve been getting them... | |
| Thoughts on Big Star Its funny, William Eggleston is a photographer I've admired for some time. One if his signature photos is the cover of Radio City. I've never been sure on which side of the camera Eggleston's genius exists as getting people to like and admire his ... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... Agree. In my opinion nothing that records, analog or digital, is a true representation of reality. It is, almost by definition, a facsimile. Usually in photography this is acknowledged and the goal is not to say: This is the subject as it is but t... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... It is my understanding that compression is often used for voices in order to reduce sibilance (harsh 'esse' sounds). If the engineers get the DR compression so wrong, maybe they're mucking that up as well.But to my ears harshness and stridence are... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Has anyone mentioned Chicago? I'm not into them but they are totally American, incredibly prolific, still around in some form and had quite a few hits. | |
| How are you hearing no difference? Funny that this was mentioned. The hearing in my left ear is worse than my right. As I was learning about speaker position and listening position etc I cupped my hand behind my left ear and it made a big difference in the size and shape of the sou... |
