| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? Oh good, Jadem. Shelby's a good singer, but her sister's voice is more in keeping with the subject of this thread. I dont know about any of these new bands (ie, the last 20 years or so). | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? Well Kev, are you chastising others for discusssing this issue? You bring up a couple of interesting points, and lead to another. Are the mark-ups on some products moral? Should anyone feel guilty about paying the fair market price for something a... | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... I agree with Drubin and the Trekkie (couldnt resist). Taking for granted that we are listening to music we like, accurate tonality comes first for me, then dynamic realism, then imaging (ie 3 dimensionality), then soundstaging. | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? Morality? Difficult situation. I agree with Macm above. We all window shop and compare stuff without intending to take advantage of our local dealers.(1) You visit your local high end salon and listen to speakers you can't afford. You spend a lot ... | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? I think the subject of the thread is is the voice and singing style. | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? I dont know if you meant Shelby Flint, but you made me think of her. And, maybe more of that seductive quality in the voice, in line with the focus of this thread, her sister Allison Moorer.I can think of lots of others but I'm just plugging away ... | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? Patsy Cline. | |
| Harbeth HL C7 ES Thoughts on cables? Risky question hereabouts. Maybe we'll get away with though. The dealer from whom I bought my C7's a few years ago, Signals in the UK (email order sound unheard) carries Nordost cables, but was not enthusiastic about the combin... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Kubla, that's the first response to this thread that I can relate to. I refuse to add up what Ive spent (a lot less than most people it seems, but a lot more than any of my real-life friends or relatives would think rational). I resent every dolla... | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan Yeah Craig, that's the other approach. Listen to a lot of different music, especially some that isnt well audiophile-quality produced. I listen to alot of Zydeco and TexMex. Dont care about how good the system is when your body is moving. Then lis... | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan If you cant do as Bluenose suggest, have 2 systems, one (your best) that sounds like real life or as close as you can get, and one that is more analytical, highly detaled. When the magic wears off your best system, spend some time listening to the... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Well, yes Doc, the audio cable manufacturers pop up in the 3rd category. But the issue raised is whether many of the high end cable marketers are among the manufacturers (or final assemblers). My guess is that some are, some aren't. I find it hard... | |
| Harbeth HL C7 ES Chris, your responsive comments are correct, of course. They sound great with tube amps but need a significant amount of power to do their best.But, although they are revealing, they are forgiving of subntractive weaknesses. They sound nice with j... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" I love this thread! Let's keep it going forever, and don't say wires is wires in response to any thread asking for comparisons or descriptions of any specific wires, because you can vent all you want right here. This is just what I suggested in "F... | |
| Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc. You guys have mentioned some good singers doing good music. What's to feel guilty about Linda Ronstadt or Yvonne Elliman. DK, your other picks are pretty good (bad?), and actually Ms. Elliman, for all of her talent, recorded a lot of really bad ma... |
