| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Wireless, I don't disagree with your conclusion about the the mono/stereo Beatles' mixes, but your logic is flawed. If it's not, then anybody listening to Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, etc. on their home stereos have deviated from the artists' in... | |
| Do you ever wonder? I don't think the OP is really asking for comments about his individual choices, but why are some artists incredibly commercially successful and others not?A few examples:Rolling Stones vs. the KinksU2 vs. Gang Of 4Stevie Ray Vaughan vs. Buddy Guy... | |
| where to place equipment rack? Place your rack where there are bass nulls and where it won't degrade soundstage/imaging. Trying to balance out these concerns with what is practical (domestically, visually, remote friendly, accessible, etc.) and keeping cable/interconnect length... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? The Beatles? Were they the group McCartney was in before Wings? Talk about obscure bands! | |
| Speaker audition: a novice’s journey A word of advice. It's not the speaker, but how the speaker is setup and interacts in YOUR listening room. As a hypothetical example, a $5k speaker properly setup in a good sounding room will out perform a $15k speaker in a bad room, say 12' x 12'... | |
| Which matters more, DAC or transport? The answer isn't one or the other. It's too dependent on how the connection between the two is implemented. A cheap transport and a cheap DAC with a well implemented I²S connection may sound better than their expensive counterparts with a optical ... | |
| Cozi fan Tutti, EMI or Angel Records? I have the Angel version. Nothing special as far as audio. Love the performances. | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar As an alternative point of view, why are you using Maagneplanars for rock and jazz/fusion? In general I don't prescribe to components being music genre specific, but my experiences in listening to Maggies (store demos only), I wouldn't call them a... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction Swampwalker, my comments were also tongue in cheek, well, at least partially.Go man go!I hope that comment was also TIC. | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction There was a thread a few days ago where the poster got criticized because he posited that the people who constantly change equipment don't know what they're doing. (Yes, I've condensed and simplified his point.) Could that be the case here. I noti... | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Any list with John Cippolina in the top 30 is alright with me.It ain't serious, it's only rock 'n' roll. | |
| Resampling my music collection Any other DSP process will do its own resampling if it encounters 44.1 kHz audioThat's nonsensical. Even if your statement were true, which it's not, then wouldn't it be more elegant to find some software based DSP that also uses a quality SRC? | |
| Setup vs. Amp/Preamp choice? Based upon the nature of the responses Msratty has obviously struck a nerve. Although frankly, I not really sure why. It's not as if the OP said anything radical and I don't think he was impolite or overly aggressive in his tone. Could be that wha... | |
| Resampling my music collection I don't see the point of your wanting to resample. How is resampling any different than any other DSP process you might apply? | |
| Setup vs. Amp/Preamp choice? I agree. Setup is more important than the actual components involved, assuming no gross mismatches. Audiophiles are just like everybody else -- it feels good to have your opinions affirmed by others. |
