| How do you 'listen' to new music? That's a great question! With Classical you'll have to understand what is expected (which takes work). You can enjoy the melodies, but you'll have to know how composers work within guidelines to come up with something new and unexpected, yet satis... | |
| What exactly is meant by I think sometimes it's just a duplicate of the original. They may have to change a couple of things to make the verbage legal, "remastered". I've run into the same thing. I bought something a while back that sounded exactly like the original. I'm ... | |
| Any Experience with Michael Green's Speakers? He makes speakers? I thought he did room treatment. | |
| It's funny how records are still best. Records are the best. There is no legitimate argument that anyone can make against that. It's not preference but fact. The preference is if your too lazy to deal with the inconvenience. But the sound is the best. It is funny with all the Audiophil... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 jr in small room, any success? Thanks for all of the responses. All good advise. I'm no longer in the 12' x 12' room. The new room is kind of hard to describe. It's not square just small which should give me better results as Jay pointed out. Thanks Alan, the diagonal set up us... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Yes MOZART!!! | |
| B&W JM Labs or Paradigm Signature S8.....Help? I would go for the Von Schweikert over all speakers listed above. Rob | |
| Getting and keeping records clean................ To make it simple for you - If you want to save money get Record Doctor II. If you want to pay more for convenience, get VPI's machine (its the most popular), but overkill IMHO. And yes you need something with a vacuum suction cleaning by hand wil... | |
| Phono Pre-amp for Analog Newbie I'll let others recommend the equipment. For record cleaning machines, you can't go wrong with the Record Doctor II cheap and effective. I've used mine for 2 years now and it works like a champ. | |
| Why don't kids nowadays know about Jazz and classi Because it takes an effort. Classical music in most cases has to be understood before you get a lot out of it. Most kids (and this is true of all generations). Most younger people also have a short attention span. How many kids are going to listen... | |
| New jazz CD's of interest Thanks Scott. Is there any idea of the quality of the recording? Rob | |
| a observation on Coldplay That's why they are famous and selling albums. They make good music. Although so is Ashley Simpson -- there goes my theory. Cold Play, Green Day, Linkin Park, etc. are all bands that take what they do seriously, and it shows in their music. Others... | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? It really depends. I usually get better spacial imaging using a pre-amp, but I get better detail and a more intimate sound going through my CD player with tubed gain. I guess it depends on the quality of the pre-amp. | |
| Room Acoustics Problem???? If you are up to it get a copy of CARA - I bought it and as markvetnz put it - CARA usually recommends a set up that is not Symmetrical. It takes a lot of measuring and input, but it picks placements that I would have never figured out using just ... | |
| Room Issues Sometimes headphones are the only solution. I have a back up headphone set up just in case. It's a temporary solution for me since I like a room full of sound and not my head full of sound, but it does give pleny of satisfaction until you can figu... |
