| is this the greatest live band of all time? I saw Joe Cocker three times spanning the late 70’s to the early 80’s, and to to say he was inconsistent is a wild understatement. One absolute dud, one OK performance and one which ranks up there with anything I have ever witnessed. ... | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? Not a band, but when I saw Jerry Lee Lewis I realised I was watching the greatest showman on earth, and possibly the greatest that has ever lived. | |
| Your vote for greatest (covers) album Don’t know about the best album, but you just HAVE to watch Denzel Curry’s “Like a Version’ take of Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Bulls on Parade’ on Youtube.Live, one take; just shows what happens when all the celestial objects are in alignment and... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? The absolute impedance means little if you have appropriate taps on your transformers. What does matter is:1. How far the speaker’s impedance deviates from its nominal value (and where and how steep the dips and peaks are). Nasties in the bass reg... | |
| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? Had a really interesting experience way back when a friend brought over a MFSL half speed mastered pressing of Sticky Fingers. We waited with baited breath for the stylus to hit the vinyl to be finally rewarded by ...,A very flat, bland and total... | |
| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? but I’ve only heard one (a limited edition something or other) with an SME V arm and that will suck the life out of any deck.Very interesting - that was my exact feeling about this much revered arm. I kept my opinions to myself lest I be outed as ... | |
| Speakers that are a great value! I do believe that if you have a master speaker builder and tuner you and can’t go wrong. Just ask Fritz! ‘His no crossovers design requires him to tune by ear the wrappings on each coil to get each speaker to sing as he see fit. Thats why his spea... | |
| Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection ALL speakers on the market are broken because they never consulted me when designing them.That tells you ALL you need to know about this guy..... | |
| Best improvement for the buck Basically yes. I really tried to like them. However they are opaque and caused a loss of information and dynamics. I found them to be a false economy and was relieved when I moved on.Having said that, as I do not want to hijack this thread and tur... | |
| Best improvement for the buck Those Blue Jean interconnects will throttle anything you put through them. I speak from experience. | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? My take is: there’s an awful lot of experienced listeners out there with really good hearing who regularly experience this phenomenon day in day out, and accept it as a fact of life.What are its primary causes? I know you have your answers, but I ... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? https://www.audiophilenirvana.com/audiophile-tips/audiophile-warm-up-break-in/And guess what! There was excellent scientific evidence presented for precisely the opposite case on the exact same page. And maybe I did notice just a teensy weensy bit... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? It is possible that I put up more audio systems and conduct careful listening to them in one year in my home than you may have built in your lifetime. So, your mockery means little to me. If you are not going to discuss this in a mature way, I’m d... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? Please demonstrate for me the following*That some speakers take longer to "warm up" while others do not, and that it is audible. People hear it and adjust to it every day, as has been demonstrated by the numerous responses to this post. If YOU can... | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? The original poster makes an observation about the phenomenon of speaker warmup, and your advice is to forget all this nonsense and buy a better system?Why not just play music and accept that for the first half an hour or so it isn’t going to soun... |
