| What time do you wear? Dekay - I went to a reasonably rigourous high school, and often students would come to school extremely tired, having spent the night studying. Anyway, if someone fell asleep in calculus, the teacher had this uncanny skill for not missing a beat i... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! It's amazing to me that people are already panning the series without having seen it. I'm sure, as has been mentioned, that it will have some flaws, and I'm sure it will have a 'theme' that many will find disagreeable (what documentary doesn't). I... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Merle, one of H's arguments was that in measuring the position or momentum that you would change one or the other. So while Khyrs's statement is not exactly a metaphor it is certainly related. | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? I find it difficult to understand why so many people deny the incredibly profound effect that your mindset has on your perception. In all honesty, I'd have to say that the actual reproductive quality of my rig accounts for at most 5% of my enjoyme... | |
| Feelings on Napster? fpeel - excellent post. I would point out, however, that there are two arguments being made. One is based in law and is probably more relevant to what happens to Napster. The other is based in ethics and so will probably have no tangible effects (... | |
| Sony XA-7es and the 777es Dekay - I'm not entirely sure, but I do know that Sony tends to release some of their highest end ES stuff in Champagne. They also then charge a couple hundred dollars more for 'em. AFAIK, there is no difference in sonics, and the 'pretty' version... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Pghedge - What do you think about d/ling titles from labels that don't have a website or aren't available for preview in stores? There's a record store in town that offers previews, but certain record labels won't allow them to open their cd's and... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Ralph, if you read my posts in this thread you may see that I agree with you for the most part. I agree that record companies need to change their distribution paradigm, although not for the consumer's benefit but rather for their own. I also comp... | |
| Feelings on Napster? The big difference, Ralph, is that record companies have agreed to allow radio/television stations to us their media. They have not made similar considerations to .mp3 software sites. It's like saying that you can take all of my stereo equipment b... | |
| The Beatles Rather than respond to the most blatently trolling post I've seen in years I'll ask: Isn't it absolutely astounding that the Beatles have moved more albums in the US in the year 2000 than any other band? | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Disclosure: being new to this hobby, I don't have a lot of experience either way with this. My dealer told me to burn my stereo in and not to listen too critically at first, and I followed his advise. As a result, I have no idea whether or not my ... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? I wasn't aware that your experience has been a refudation of burn-in. On the other hand, we could take a symetrical argument and explain your perception. Perhaps your aural memory is such that the gradual changees introduced in the burn in period ... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Waldhorner - what are you, some sort of objectivist :)? Having never done a controlled test to see if I could hear the effects of burn-in, I cannot comment on the objective nature (but since I have occasion to buy new interconnects soon, perhaps I... | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? Frogman - My roomate plays guitar and boy do I feel what you're saying. We have a deal, I can't use the word 'soundstage' when music is playing and he can't talk about the merits of different wood cuts for guitar bodies. We're still not in agreeme... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Waldhorner: Excellent post (12/4/2000). |
