| Rap music on high-end speakers This is an odd thread. 104 posts in response to a request for recommendations of speakers on which to listen to Rap "music," and precious few on point. One of the questions was what to listen for. My recommendation is to listen for the sound of re... | |
| RCA plugs that don't fit. I've never seen one that you couldnt loosen by unscrewing to get on and then tighten (don't overtighten) on the jack. Unlike those Radio Shack cables that you use at your peril. | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Good point Flex. Actually, many many cds and records are terrible, and I'll trust you if you say some of the really good ones are made with better cables. So if cables in consumers' systems make any difference, you say, they function to minimize f... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Really? Typical, and ridiculous. I said nothing about "all" studios, and nothing about electronics or speakers. I made specific reference to the "Golden Age of Stereo" (not my own idea by the way but one stolen from an anonymous source). Sure, som... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? We seem to have a failure to communicate. Did anyone up there say he compared the Valhalla to "OEM grade cables"?The point wasnt that recording engineers are experts. It was that there is no more detail, information, air, whatever it is you're loo... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Just out of curiosity, beyond poorly designed cables that clearly do something wrong, what part of a recording not captured by a $19.95 mic cable or any of the plain vanilla cheap copper cables used by recording engineers is re-created by those de... | |
| How do Newforms sound? I've never heard them and I don't like them already. Fiddler's post was rude. (I won't use that "s" word, but if the shoe fits . . . .)Will, I'm sure you knew that people who owned them would say they're great, people who have heard but not bought... | |
| It's Been an Allison Kind of Month...... Allison Brown - good recommendation Sarah. | |
| It's Been an Allison Kind of Month...... Craig,I've been a fan of Alison Krauss since she was a teenager. Heard her brand new first lp on KCSN, Cal State Northridge radio on a Saturday morning and drove out to Northridge to buy it from the record store owned by the guy who did the radio ... | |
| the unaccompanied voice I've been a fan of Alison Krauss since she was a teenager. Have all of her lps/cds including the Tony Furtado cd with "I Will." When I listen to Heaven's Bright Shore on the second or third or fourth lp (have it on cd) I am always thankful that sh... | |
| Nuetrality be Damned... Well. The Harbeths Charlie mentions are naturally warm and still considered "hifi" speakers, as requested above. But they are also accurate. My Compact 7's are only warmer than accurate because I have them too close to the wall behind them and fir... | |
| the unaccompanied voice Charlie, I only find one of your recs at Amazon. Do I have to go to Borders?Sadly, I find I'm only interested lately in classical or music with a driving beat. I still haven't opened the last Alison Krauss cd, bought on Sept. 10. | |
| the unaccompanied voice You seem to have covered all the bases Kelly. I would add all the Persuasions' albums - I think my favorite is called We Came to Play, the first Bobs lp and Anonymous Four's Lily and the Lamb, engineered by one of my Harbeth friends.Paul | |
| Nuetrality be Damned... Nothing like coming inside from the cold outdoors and warming your hands and basking in the glow from your speakers. | |
| Nuetrality be Damned... Accuracy be damned. Give me nice and toasty any day. |
