| Can CD's be loud and ok? The latest Steely Dan release is mixed loud, but it sounds quite good. The audible distortion you hear on some records is because at some point in the recording process they exceeded digital zero. Sometimes this is done by accident, and though it'... | |
| What do You listen to? I like how you separated hip-hop from Rap. Most people on this site aren't that discerning. If your interested in expanding your blues collection, then I suggest Muddy Waters, particulary the "Chess Box" collection. | |
| Where do you draw the line??? Newbee, I agree with everything you said except your second sentence - "They will not consider the sound from your suggested system and what they want to be remotely similar." I guess the problem I'm having is in the emphasis. You say the systems ... | |
| Where do you draw the line??? Nrchy, your over the top language is undercutting the credibility of your arguments. Specifically I'm referring to the boom box comparison, your insistence that the sonic differences between the systems must be "huge" and your characterization of ... | |
| Where do you draw the line??? Nrchy, I'll go to even further extremes. I argue that a good $15,000 system is comparable to some $75,000 setups. I include a specific example. It's an old thread, but it got some interesting responses.click here | |
| Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............ It's hard to believe but I missed Jay & the Techniques (of "Apple, Peaches Pumpkin Pie" fame) when they played the RKO in New Rochelle, NY circa 1967. To this day I walk around with a heavy heart.BTW, the opening act was some guys from L.A./Ca... | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th I have the redbook CD. I looked at the song's digital waveform using an editor and there appears to be a fairly strong digital clip right at that point, but what I'm hearing doesn't sound like typical digital overload. There's no raspy distortion,... | |
| TV with better speakers Some televisions have audio out capabilities that allow you to connect an external speaker to the television's internal amplifiers. The more common audio out is a line level signal that would require additional amplification. The best fidelity wil... | |
| Best Audio-Manufacturing Countries? Hi-end audio is a truly international endeavor. The leading nations are Canada, USA, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, China, Japan, GB and Switzerland. It would be impossible to pick a single nation as "the best". I suspect in few years we... | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th Hey Ben, I could have a defective disc. | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th Nobody at all heard the low frequency thumps I asked about earlier? On "Pixaleen" a big one comes at 1min18secs. I don't hear them at all on my bedroom system that rolls off the bass below 50Hz, but on the main system (which goes down strongly to ... | |
| Checking Anti-Skate? Can't answer what I don't know. Thanks for the laser info. I think I'll give it a try. | |
| Checking Anti-Skate? I'm not going to answer your question, but I am going to recommend you replace the DB protractor with the Wally Tractor. It's gives much better results. Also, how do you use a laser to set VTA? | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Viridian, I suggest that you contact the AMA and report the finding of a new desease - Dealer Influenced Thought Syndrome. Being a DITS sufferer myself, I would be most interested in your research on a cure. If you do find a cure, or better yet a ... | |
| Lizz Wright Thanks for the review. Please let me know what you think of Otis Rush and Duke Robbilard. I'm a big fan of each. |
