| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Shadrone, Unless GAS is an acronym for something, the only GAS I see which keeps folks going round and round originates with manufacturers, reviewers, salesmen, and a few (too many) proud owners of something they bought. The latter can be forgiven... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Foster and I suspect Orpheus 10 as well. Look carefully at Aldavis' sentence. It ends with a question mark. :-) So does the dispute I think. | |
| Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners The music of various composers has been cobbled together to create the music in this movie. Google and you shall learn all. :-) | |
| Tube recomendations for a newbie Tube rolling can be fun, and it can certainly make a meaningful difference. I do it all the time. But it is a learning process and you must start with an objective, that is, after your unit is well broken in you have to be able to identify what ab... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Nicotino, Excellent point I think! A personal aside, FWIW. My introduction to jazz (and classical for that matter) was in the 60's and it came via live performances in clubs or symphony halls. Hard Bop, then in vogue, was difficult and music echoi... | |
| Newbie Q: How do small woofer speakers reach 32Hz? An 8" woofer can certainly do 48hz with no difficulty whatsoever, in fact it can do 28hz or lower but to get it +/- 3db at 28 hz you'd probably need 2 of them. (I've speakers down 3db at 28hz using 2 8" woofers). Unless it is rolled off the single... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Aldavis, without taking exception to any of your observations I hate to isolate the form to that which existed in one narrow period of time and which if accepted as fact would then preclude having a mind set that would allow you to experience grow... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. It seems you are very knowledgeable about jazz. What exactly would you like to discuss? BTW, I think some folks might just not agree with you that 1957 to 1967 was 'most' definitive (what ever that means) period although a lot of great jazz and pe... | |
| Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners On a recent TV series Michael Tilson Thomas (a well known conductor for the SFO) talked about progression in classical music starting with simple forms and moving on gradually to the more complex. He described how some one could/would transition f... | |
| recommendations for TT + arm + cart, around $3.5k Were I in your place Justin, assuming that you are not trying to establish your analog source as some type of reference system and are only trying to adjust tone a bit I would explore some old mm cartridges that might just give you a very accurate... | |
| recommendations for TT + arm + cart, around $3.5k Are you sure you can't get there by just getting a different cartridge? There a huge differences between types of stylus' and cartridges that can get you where you want to go. Were I you I would first concentrate of getting the type of cartridge t... | |
| Room treatment success story FWIW, Schipo, I think your first sentence is misleading. There is also no EVIDENCE that they are good. They are what they are and whether they are deemed good or bad is dependent on a lot of things, including personal opinion and/or appreciation o... | |
| Tube or Solid State J bailey, I'm LOL. I've been called a lot of nasty things in my life but never "a ss guy". :-) My post was an attempt at being pragmatic as opposed to a tube enthusiast. | |
| Speakers this way, or that, with cathedral ceiling Everything else being equal I'd try firing the speakers down the room parallel with the ridge of the ceiling. I've never had success with speakers placed under a sloping ceiling. And, I'd think it would be even better if you were firing down the l... | |
| Tube or Solid State Go with the solid state Mac. The often subtle differences between tubes and SS is the liquidity of the tube sound which I think can be largely lost when you are listening to really loud music, as you seem inclined to do. Now if you maintain a SPL ... |
