| Battery backup copes with musical transients Thanks for the link. Awesome setup! What battery system are you using that can power the whole house? | |
| Battery backup copes with musical transients It would be useful if you actually stated what equipment you are talking about. Both your audio equipment and your battery (including how it's hooked up and activated). | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Well mixed and mastered music on a competent system sounds better than poorly recorded music on a summit-fi system.That could actually be true, but good music on a mediocre system is better than less good music on a great system. | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Some people actually think the hobby is putting together and tinkering with the components. Which for them is okay, I guess. | |
| Mahavishnu fans only Some random tidbits. McLaughlin originally wanted Jean-Luc Ponty as the violinist. Jaco Pastorius wanted to join the band, but McLaughlin turned him down. IMO, side one of "My Goal's Beyond" is one of the best Mahvishnu Orchestra recordings. | |
| An Odd Question Yes there are sympathetic resonance issues, but unless you can actually hear them it's not an issue. BTW, every object in your listening room is subject to sympathetic resonance. | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial When you put down the sound of BOTW you are denigrating the work of this man, Roy Halee. He knows more about what sounds good than you do. | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial To build upon Dave b's post -- if you put together a system that makes music you love sound bad, then what exactly have you accomplished?As a thought experiment, imagine how BOTW would sound on a good system in 1970. | |

If you're truly interested, there's even a documentary movie where the songwriter, vocalists, instrumentalists and engineer/producer descr... | |
| l just discovered another one of the record companies dirty tricks? Dastardly deeds discovered! When will it stop? We need to take it to the streets overthrow the oppressor man. ORIGINAL MIXES MATTER! | |
| shifting soundstage> Is it only on specific recordings and at specific moments in those recordings? If so, then it's the recordings. If it's somewhat random, then it could be equipment, but it could also be you. If you listen for problems, then you're more likely t... | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine Mozartfan, do you have a degree in ignorance? | |
| Computer Guru's, Does my external Hard Drive go to sleep if its still blinking? Whether it runs 24/7/365 or you turn it on and off daily won't make a statistical difference regarding hard drive failure. Hard drives are robust, but they will eventually fail. There's a plethora of software that diagnoses and monitors your har... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Move you listening position closer to a wall boundary. You may need to be anywhere from inches to 2-3 feet from the wall. | |
| Computer Guru's, Does my external Hard Drive go to sleep if its still blinking? Ozzy, you're imagining a problem where one doesn't exist. You've backed up your data and you've backed up your backup, so stop worrying about whether the light is on. If the light really bothers you -- put some dark tape over it. |
