| Why does most new music suck? I don't think that music takes a back seat in the equation but look at it as a passenger in a conveyance. The passenger (music) can be conveyed in a Bentley (the gear) and arrive in wonderful shape whereas the same passenger in a donkey cart would... | |
| Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show? Prana fifty90 speaker. I've mentioned on another post that if I had the money, they'd be my next speaker. Two MA Recording CDs that I got from that room sounded great on my system. The difference with the Pranas was that the immediacy of the prese... | |
| Why does most new music suck? On the suck meter they're off the scale.I'm still smiling from that one.Every time I put on a poor recording on I rescue it.It's the very act of listening to it that can make up for a poorer recording. The quality of the music itself calls for res... | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? Audiozen, that union dog won't hunt no matter how many times you say it. | |
| Why does most new music suck? I like music from all time frames but would not like being stuck in some era and do my best to make it sound good, only to come to the conclusion that the gear doesn't matter, it's the music. Why have this hobby? It's the fox and the sour grapes a... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Nothing. I'm still looking, listening and absorbing. I just don't feel the urge to ferret out everything that's available. You're point? | |
| Why does most new music suck? Granted. And probably never will. It's like when I was a kid: I'd spend a lot of my time in the library and dream of reading ALL the books and how wonderful it would be. Bad eyesight put a serious chink in that design.Thank goodness my ears work w... | |
| Why does most new music suck? What I alluded to is what has yet to be seen or discovered, maybe anew, or simply overlooked or needing a new twist or take. We all create based on what we know, what is passed on freely from others, and some times we invent, creating something gr... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Csontos, You've a keen eye. Yes, a firm foundation is needed to proceed from. It's just the resistance part I hate. And boundaries are needed to know where to proceed from, where to test the waters. And yes, there is nothing new under the sun, jus... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Ionmoon,Missed your post while writing my rant, but thanks for the clarification. I don't think it would apply to anyone here, yet. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Why does most new music suck? Conservatism, by its very nature, resists change, for any reason. Your "long haired" story brings back memories for me as well. Don't think though, for a moment, that it has died down even with the changes in hairstyle and acceptance of some music... | |
| Accuphase or Esoteric? It's like comparing a Rembrandt to a fork lifter.Nice one. I wouldn't know since I haven't heard either but, nice one. | |
| Bookshelf or Tower All things being equal (which they never are), I would go with a high efficiency floor stander. Consider one with a widebander for a midrange and minimum to no crossover and you'll find it come alive early on with the ability to flesh things out a... | |
| Why does most new music suck? It's a more civil way of discourse that I'm keen to observe. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Wow. That's the kind of logic that gets the Heritage Foundation in trouble.Coach a bias in something resembling academia and you can feel better saying it.All the best,Nonoise |
