| Flatscreen between speakers @spenav Ah, but you used the term to strongly imply two-channel and you also imply there is only one format and that it was designed by "the inventor" rather than evolved over time. My personal opinion is that stereophonic was designed to be s... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @spenav Amazing how two people can interpret the written word so differently! From your Wikipedia definition: Because the multi-dimensional perspective is the crucial aspect, the term stereophonic also applies to systems with more than two ch... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @spenav Not sure where you got that definition of stereo! The word stereo actually stems from the Greek word for solid. In modern usage it refers to playback through two or more speakers. I don't think two-channel stereophonic was designed pe... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @asctim When thinking about cancellation and reinforcement of sound, I would encourage you to think about the wavelengths of sound waves in the audible spectrum - Google AI thinks: The human audible spectrum encompasses frequencies from approx... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @asctim So phantom centre describes imaging where the subject is dead centre! Are there terms for where all the other sound sources might be located? In the old days of classical stereo, recordings were made using a very small number of microp... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? The important thing about bits is not that they are bits, it is that when they are mis-read, they can be corrected. Can be, not must be, or always are. The internet does provide a protocol, Transport Control Protocol or TCP, which guarantees tha... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @samoh I discovered that the phantom center image that my speakers create I am getting confused here about the word phantom! I am happy to call the synthetic cente channel created by some processors from 2-channel sources "phantom" becaus... | |
| Test @lanx0003 One-way by ferry is more than a 10-hour trip. How do you manage the commuting part? Is there a flight option? My commute was weekly! There are frequent flights - these days it is a common weekend escape for Melbourne folk. I had a... | |
| Test @mrdecibel A great example of an exquisite "studio, multi track" recording, would be "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" Thanks for this pointer - I will explore! Seems to me from the dates that this would have been an all analog recording, releas... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @knownothing Blu-ray soundtracks sounded great pretty much from day one I don't know what your set-up is, but do you have a centre-channel speaker? If so, what do you do with it when playing two channel stereo? If a flat panel TV interferes... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @devinplombier Doesn’t your LG OLED have built-in works of art to make it look like a picture frame? I think these OLEDs are brilliant and the very thin panels have almost no effect on sound transmission or reflections. Sony’s version fires it... | |
| Test @lanx0003 Oops, I said my favourite performance of Samson and Delila is from Copenhagen, but it is actually from Antwerp. Not even the same country ... and it can still be found on the web! | |
| Test @lanx0003 Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience at Hamer Hall in Sydney. It will definitely be one of the destinations on our list in the hopefully near future I had to look up Hamer Hall! It is the new name for the Melbourne Conce... | |
| Test @mrdecibel "Multi Track" recordings are what I was referring to, as I listen to and have been involved with multi track recording (studio stuff) No worries! I will point out that 2L in Norway do something similar to Mercury's approach for th... | |
| Test @lanx0003 The criticisms I’ve heard of the Mercury sound in general are that it is ’dry’, it lacks a lot of warmth from the venue! That probably stems from the relatively close positioning of the microphones in relation to the conductor? I hav... |
