| Why does most new music suck? One of the issues being faced in the discussion is the box that the existing commercial music industry has put mainstream music in with endless playlists based on attempts to control the diminishing revenue streams of the industry, imo. Also imo, ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? I must be from a different planet. I still listen to the old 60s and 70s stuff, but todays musicians are light years ahead musically than the old rockers. Go to your local liberal arts college and you will hear kids playing with the expertise that... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Orpheus 10, one reason, assuming the same source, could be the quality of the blank cd. I can hear a difference between different cds just like tape. The amount of gain could be a factor. Still alot of variables in a digital recording. Its a good ... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Analog always had its limitations too, the biggest one, and consistent for a half century that I know of,is the industry's absolute lack of caring about the quality of the product they put out. After the death of the 8 track format, fortuneately i... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Atmasphere, I am interested to see what you have. If you can't pull up my email you'll get a personal response from mine in a few days. | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. I agree Rauliruegas, especially since Itunes is now the biggest marketer of music and high definition is not their focus. I enjoy a great recording but if I limit myself to them, there is a whole lot of music I will miss out on. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have just recently become aware of the HHR Exotics company who also build speakers based on the Lincoln Walsh drivers. Anyone have personal experience with these? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman, that coincides exactly with my personal experience with the 200 mkIIs. I drove them with 32 watts of tube power for years. On the few occasions that I experienced amplifier clipping, it was in every case very dynamic low frequency reproduc... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss I naturally, and I bet I'm not the only one, tend to turn up the volume until I perceive the "sweet spot". Since odd ordered harmonics are our sound pressure clue, their absence (relative term), with very clean reproduction will tend to promote in... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss The odd ordered harmonics are perceived as sound pressure level comment is interesting to me. I recently switched from all tube amplification to a very good tube preamp and very low distortion and high current solid state amps. Musical transients ... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Most modern recordings are not done to master tape but recorded digitally. Digital recordings are manipulated by the mastering engineer, compressed, expanded, reverb added, certain frequencies manipulated,to try to produce something that is pleasi... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. If I restrict myself to analog recordings only, there is a whole slew of new music I'll be missing out on. There just aren't that many artists putting out new analog recordings. I also find the variety interesting mixing up tape, vinyl and digital... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Tonywinsc, I am currently using an Audioquest Dragonfly, which is an USB thumb drive. The thumb drive bypasses my laptop's internal music processor to its ESS Sabre DAC. The thumb drive has a female mini jack in the back. Plug the thumb drive into... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Science is not an absolute either. Did the scientists of a thousand years ago believe what the scientists do today? How about a thousand years from now? How is this so and do we know what we are actually measu... |
