| If you were serious about sound you would... @donavabdear based upon your equipment choices I don't think you have a solid understanding of the recording process. The key to great sounding recordings are the microphones and the talent of the engineers. You can make great recordings without... | |
| I Am Not an Audio Snob If you are an audiophile you are a snob. You believe and act as if you know more about music reproduction (and music) then the average mid-fi/pop music consumer. Many times it's true, but not always. Now within audiophiles circles there are als... | |
| Mental and auditory acuity, and aging So many people think they can somehow control the aging process and maybe they can, but at the individual level luck/genetics are bigger factors. You can drink, smoke and not exercise and still make it to 90, or you could abstain from all vices a... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Which do you think of more often -- the effects of cables on audio or the Roman Empire? | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. Spector and Nitzche produced some truly great music, but in their personal lives they were not nice people. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. The Broadway and Hollywood musical tunes that comprise the Great American Songbook are pop tunes. So all that stuff by Gershwin, Kerns, Porter, Berlin, Mercer, Rodgers/Hart etc. should be considered. My top votes go to "My Funny Valentine", "Blu... | |
| After a long, long sleep: ML-335 Have it looked at first. It's an expensive amp to repair so a little caution is warranted. It doesn't have to be an ML service center. | |
| Costliest Brainfart It's just stuff so it's not really that important. It's not like anyone here knocked down a section of the Great Wall... | |
| When Will We Learn? There's a belief system spreading around the world that you can buy something from some random person on the internet, have them ship it to you anywhere in the world and the product arrives in perfect working order 100% of the time. A small numbe... | |
| Moving Soon - Should I Pack Up Everything Now?? Determine what is your highest priority -- selling the house and moving or listening to music for a few more nights? The emotional basis of someone buying your house is that they imagine themselves living there. Do you think the average buyer wi... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". No joke at all. Garth would provide instrumental texture and density to the LZ palette. It's a role that JPJ did for them in the studio. The original Jimmy Page concept for LZ was as a twin guitar band with Terry Reid as the vocalist, co-lead g... | |
| Jeff Beck, Blues De Luxe Jeff Beck said he never hit his stride until he dropped the singer(s). Later in his career he would work with a female vocalist. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Why are people extolling their ignorance? As a species we have developed outstanding descriptions of gravity and electro-magnetism. The descriptions are more complex than what you would be taught in freshman physics, but complexity doesn't equal... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Let's do a thought experiment -- who from Led Zeppelin could play in The Band? Bonham, no way. Plant, it's a few decades early in his development. Page, as an acoustic player he could bring a little English folkie sound to the group. Although ... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24, I don't think watching "The Birth Of A Nation" will give you much insight about your relatives' beliefs. It's an adaptation of a book and play titled "The Clansman: An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan". The film was instrumental in... |
