| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Whart, I thank you very much for your extremely informative post.(As you stated in regard to earning a living in the beginning, it has never been easy, but it's almost impossible now)That, of course, was the key- to be able to make enough money fr... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." You're quite welcome Ivan. | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." n80, that was not meant in humor.First, there are plenty of folks here who know the music industry intimately. Second, you have no idea what other people's experiences have been.The music industry, and everything else falls under the economy.What... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." First and foremost, this forum should stick to all things concerning turntable set up, or similar subject, because people here have no idea of what's going on outside of their on little "ballywick" meaning the big world outside of audio.Has anyone... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion I didn't mean to give the impression that all you have to do in order to get holographic sound is to treat the room; that was after 30 years of hard labor in the high end arena. | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion As confirmation in regard to how far room treatment can go, I had a problem that couldn't be solved no matter what I did; the right channel was louder than the left. Now this was the way it sounded from my listening chair.All equipment plus speak... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion To be more specific, audio holography, the illusion of the vocalist in the room, is not a delusion, but a complex and difficult phenomenon to achieve, which is why most don't consider it essential. | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion Absolutely no illusion, you would hear the same thing I'm hearing in a given room where there is "holography" meaning a 3 dimensional image. I first heard this 30 years ago in a high end emporium, the speakers were B&W, I don't remember the e... | |
| pickering cartriidge xv 15 any good. My philosophy is "If it's not better than digital, why bother". That's not snobbery but just my fact of life; who needs the problems of records when the convenience of CD's is at their fingertips; especially when it sounds better.My analog, that ... | |
| pickering cartriidge xv 15 any good. It must be the economy; not long ago cartridges of that nature would not even be discussed in this forum. | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! Hanashagen, I'm glad you added that, ironically, I have both of those. Musical preferences are very important in regard to SS or tubes.There is one area that people neglect because they don't realize what a difference it can make and how importan... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! Honashagen, I know exactly what you're talking about; I mean what's the point if you're just going to listen to music and not be moved, and I mean by your rig and the playback.I have never been moved by a SS pre, regardless of the price; can you t... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** Actually, I view all audio from a ratings point of view; what I'm speaking of is some kind of metric to judge the quality of components.I spent two years visiting high end emporiums, and auditioning components, comparing them to how they were rate... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** Yes Schubert, your choice of components matter a lot in regard to your chosen music genre. That's most important in regard to choice of cartridge; which is why I pay little attention to cartridge recommendations around here. When they say best c... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** Prof, that reminds me of my first watch, it was Christmas and a "Micky Mouse" watch was one of my presents; it had a picture of Mickey on the face, and his arms and hands were the hands of the watch. I had to know what time it was every 15 minute... |
