| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... dbwalek said:" Complaining about DR and compression in modern pop is like complaining that rock and roll has too much drumming"Totally disagree. There is nothing inherent in pop that requires, needs or benefits from DR compression. And there is no... | |
| Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation I just got a used copy of Tedeschi Trucks' "Revelator" CD in the mail today.The DR database gives it an average DR of 10 on the CD and 11 on the vinyl. You do notice the loudness a little. Other than that it sounds pretty good to me. Certainly not... | |
| Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...? So here is a question that ties in with a couple of other threads concerning the trend of severe DR compression in most new music releases. Maybe this question deserves a new thread or maybe it deserves no discussion at all:I understand that if th... | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Agree. But I'm not going to lose sleep over finding the singular most perfect nuance of nutmeg in tortelli di zucca and let it make me miserable. That would be a treadmill. Enjoying good food where I can find it (and make it myself) is a joy.And I... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... Well, even if he does the source material is probably digital............... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... mastercylinder, You have a first issue analog vinyl of the Taylor Swift album the OP is asking about? | |
| How are you hearing no difference? cleeds, I do not think it would be that difficult at all to design a randomized, double blinded study for audiophiles. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a little complex but it wouldn't be hard.The issue is who would need such a test and why. I do not... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... I agree. And that has been my m.o. these last few months. If I like the band and like the music I buy it. Just be prepared for disappointment. | |
| How are you hearing no difference? inna said:"Like garbage probably not, like not much to keep talking about probably yes."Which could probably be said of most of the systems represented here, right? | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... Again, I don't see what a full range dynamic system can do to help recordings with a DR of 5.I'd guess the distortion you're hearing in the Swift CD is from clipping because of the DR compression.I agree completely that DR isn't everything and a r... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? I really like the way my system sounds. I often wonder if it would sound like garbage to other listeners. | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? For me it is a toss up.I saw REM at a small venue in around 1986. They were breaking into the big time but were not there yet. Amazing show.Three weeks ago I saw a new band called The Struts. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen such an engaging, char... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? Listening with just your ears does not eliminate the effects of psychoacoustics. | |
| Dear Audiogon, I keep seeing ads for free Bibles. | |
| How are you hearing no difference? As a new audiophile I find that any number of tweaks and improvements suggested make no appreciable difference to me.....while others make big differences. Speaker position for me is one of those things I notice right away. Small changes. Even hea... |
