| Rap music on high-end speakers Tru - I thought this thread was dead, too. I see a few listed objections to rap: glorifies violence and misogyny (unlike, say. the blues, right?), rappers don't sing, music is simply played off records, listeners listen to the music too loud. I ca... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Thanks DK, I'll give it another go with the extra loop on the center post, I hope this will solve my problem. I'm almost too embarassed to ask this, but just to make certain the cable should go from white to white and from black to black, right?As... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Please help. I got the Stratos kit about three weeks ago and immediately set up the speaker wires. My observations were pretty close to everyone here (boy, do horns sound good now), and I have made firm believers out of a few cable doubters (inclu... | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers Sean - perhaps I misunderstood your earlier posts, and I thank you for continuing to clarify. It seems as though you do recognize that the generalization of modern hip hop artists is a convenience and largely a product of marketing hype and an inc... | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers That puts "audiophile hip-hoppers" in the minorityAnd audiophile jazz cats, and audiophile funkaholics, and audiophile classic rockers, and audiophile spacerockonauts, and audiophile electronics whizes, probably even audiophile classical connoisse... | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers High fidelity is wasted on hip hop. Why? Hip hop producers aren't concerned with fidelity. How do you know? Well, whenever I hear hip hop, the fidelity is horrible. Oh, so you listen to it at home? No, I don't like hip hop. Oh, but then you must h... | |
| Enigma "Love Sensuality Devotion GH" If the French girl was the singer, she went by the name Sandra (and had a solo career that featured mid 80's dancy pop). I wonder if the album title is an intentional refference to the McLaughlin album. Heh, I haven't listened to my MCMXC (purchas... | |
| music for a broken heart Nashville Skyline... a good friend of mine banned it from being played in his presence for around six months after he broke up with a long time s/o.I've spent more than one evening listening to that and Yo La Tengo's And Then Nothing Turned Itself... | |
| The best 5 disc CD Changer. You weren't the only one (although I'd say 'extreme' is probably a bit extreme and my initial reading of the post led me to wonder if the slur was made out of malice or just ignorance) | |
| New Home Depot concept coming to Audio? My experience with Home Depot is that the sales staff is extremely knowledgeable. A good perecntage of Home Depot revenue comes from sales to contractors so they have to be fairly well trained. Also Expo is fairly high end (how many of you have $3... | |
| Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea? I may be wrong, but I always thought the standard argument supporting equal cable length had less to do with signal delay as it did with inductance, reactance, and capacitance (those terms could be wrong, it's been a few years since I stumbled thr... | |
| Yesterday, I almost wet my pants. Hey, Amoeba's a *great* record store. | |
| Anyone under 30? Heh, I got my first birthday cake in 1977. I'm sure that there are a lot of other young people around lurking. Speaking for myself, I tend to see myself as underexperienced to chime in on most threads. Also, I haven't been able to accumulate the w... | |
| Basis 1400 vs Clearaudio Champion Reviving this thread because these two tables are on my short (ha!) list. I'm curious to hear if anyone has heard both and can make comparisons on the sound (from what I recall, clearaudio is known to favor orchestral recordings over rock or jazz ... | |
