| Problems with Movie Dialog-Just the normal? Trust your own ears. Don't be afraid to twiddle with the controls. | |
| How to Liven up a room Rather than try to liven up the room, methinks you might try to lively up yourself. It worked for BMW, aka Bob Marley & the Wailers. | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Corona said:Real audio companies do not waste money running ads in magazines; they use it for research and development.I could not disagree more. It's a ridiculous statement! Marketing is a key element of any successful business plan. An ad can ac... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Champtree, let me see if I understood your last post. You listen to an artist you don't particularly like because the recording quality is high. I think it's situations like yours that prompted Zaikesman's orginal forest for the trees comments. Fu... | |
| Audio Diversity - What is it? Excellent question and I think in your second paragraph you've already hit upon a majority of reasons why people disagree. Another reason is that there appears to no agreement upon a sonic reference. TAS has always held out live unamplified music ... | |
| I just puked Shubertmaniac, I think you misread or misunderstood my earlier post. I cherish and respect an individual's right to make their own choices, but I also understand that even the smallest individual choice has the potential for vast societal wide imp... | |
| I just puked The rewards (monetary and otherwise) for success can be enormous in American culture. To say it's disproportionate can start that slide down the proverbial slippery slope. 99.99% of the world's population would argue that the audio systems of Audi... | |
| I just puked What's the difference between, 1) a middle-aged ex-rocker swinging a deal so that his grand kids never have to worry about money and 2) an equally middle-aged someone with substantially less talent and accomplishments in their lives complaining ab... | |
| I just puked Obviously Fatparrot you have a large body of great songs that you've written and the corporate types have been pursuing you for years to commercialize your art. No matter how many truckloads of cash they offer, you've stayed pure and resisted. Kee... | |
| Maxwell Smart and Miles Davis? Now that you mention it, the suits Maxwell Smart wore in the show looked alot like the suits Miles wore on his album covers. VERY INTERESTING! | |
| Where do you draw the line??? That's a sad, sad story. Someone who can't listen to music through a well put together $30,000 system because it's too "compromised". I hope I never get serious. | |
| Where do you draw the line??? I hope you don't think I'm one of those people trying to justify their own compromises. Nor am I someone who denies that some equipment is clearly better than other equipment. The key point that I'm making (and beating to death) is that above a ce... | |
| Good ROCK speakers Keep the Def Techs and only upgrade your processor/amps. I don't think anything recommended above will work any better than what you've already got in your system. | |
| Where do you draw the line??? I think Nrchy's car analog is a little misleading. Hi-end audio isn't a comparison between a Passat and a Jaguar, instead it's the difference between a Lexus 430 ($55,000) and a Mercedes CL55 AMG ($120,500). A well put together $15-20,000 system i... | |
| Can CD's be loud and ok? The direct answer to your second question is yes, it's possible, but such a recording might not have the best signal to noise ratio. You won't be able to get the slammin' in your face sound of recent pop/rock recordings without the use of advanced... |
