| My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee.... No offense to the above recommendations, but get yourself some real blues. Check out Otis Rush "Cold Day In Hell". It's a classic Chicago West Side Blues sound. The difference between Rush and Boz or Delbert (who btw, I actually like quite a lot) ... | |
| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux Fourteen years ago I first came across a Sound Lab speaker and the single most impression was how huge they were. I'm not talking big, I'm talking gargantuan mega colossal. I had never before seen such a large speaker. It seemed so ridiculously la... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Whether or not you can hear a difference between various data compression formats is highly dependent upon the type of music being auditioned. My experience is that current production pop/rock recordings, i.e. heavy dynamically compressed recordin... | |
| Your own iTunes music categories Organizing your music collection via iTunes can make for some interesting decisions. I personally put Dan Hicks in the pop genre, but then again pop is the most ill-defined grouping I keep. To some extent because of the smart playlist feature it r... | |
| Virgo II vs Aerial 10t ? You're probably better off with the Audio Physics model. The Aerial easily better the AP in deep bass, but everywhere else it's either too close to call or a slight edge to the AP. The Aerial also requires large, high current solid state amplifica... | |
| CD's Deterioration According to someone on Audio Asylum the problems relates to manufacturing faults at a single European CD pressing plant in the mid 1980s. They found out what was wrong, corrected it and offered free replacement CDs.BTW, a similar problem occurred... | |

| ''I Feel Fine''by the Beatles, who does the lead ? Here's a link to more than you ever wanted to know about "I Feel Fine". I'm not sure who does the solo, but the opening guitar is Lennon. | |
| why do i lose center image when i use xlr cables? Try another pair of cables. It sounds like something was mis-wired and you encountered phase problems. | |
| balanced is inherently flawed If all you had said was that you didn't see any advantages for balanced equipment in your own home system, then who but you would be in a better position than you to make such a statement. However, you grossly extrapolated your position and stated... | |
| Drums reproduction Virtually all instruments are purposely turned down because the recording chain and home playback systems cannot handle the dynamics. Your system can't handle a grand piano, operatic vocalist, trumpet, drum set or a stack of Marshall amplifiers. M... | |
| Drums reproduction You're absolutely correct when you say it's the producers' choice. In general, that is for most types of music, it more appropriate for the drum sound to be limited in its size and impact so as not to overwhelm the rest of the band. If it's an ent... | |
| spdif vs toslink Here's a link to a thread about my music collection. CLICK HERE. It's a little eclectic, but nothing really out of the ordinary.As far as 60s soul goes one of my favorites is Major Lance. Not much recorded output, but a lot of great songs by Curti... | |
| Outkast / speakerboxx "Speakerboxxx" is real good, but everyone should also give Dizzee Rascal's "Boy In Da Corner". A little more stripped down and not as pop oriented as Outkast. He's British so you'll have an excuse for why you can't understand what he's saying. |
