the greatest pop song ever? The Band's, "The Weight". | |
Front Ported v. Rear Ported Speakers FWIW, I plugged my ports (EgglestonWorks Fontaines, dual rear ports) and raised the crossover points on my subs. It did seem to improve the clarity of the upper mids and HFs somewhat, but I lost too much of the "meat" of the sound to keep them thi... | |
What music do you use to assess your system? I just realized I did not really answer your question. Sorry. I will try to find my auditioning discs and list the tracks, and why they were chosen. | |
What music do you use to assess your system? I choose each style of music which I prefer.I choose excellent, mediocre, and poorly recorded tracks.I choose only tracks with which I am very familiar.I narrow my selections down to a reasonable number (12 or so).For each track, I listen only for... | |
Great films where music is a central theme. Ghost World. Also happens to include the BEST Indian Rock music video of all time. | |
Price Increases Down with high prices! I am boycotting all gear that is too expensive for my budget! ;^} | |
Chuck Mangione - Feels so Good I owned and liked Feels So Good when it came out on vinyl. I also liked his Children of Sanchez, but just the song, not the whole LP. I no longer have any vinyl, but have no interest in replacing those two LPs with CDs. Soft/Pop jazz no longer int... | |
To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen Granted, not the best of conditions at dealer showrooms and audio show, but IMO: 2Ce seemed nice enough for small jazz combo and girl with guitar, but not more dynamic jazz or rock - did not seem to be able to properly handle/sort out the music; T... | |
To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen As much fantastic press and reviews these get, I've heard 2Ce, Treo, and two different Model 7, and did not like any of them. No admonishment, just sayin'. Good luck! | |
Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's What I HATE about this box set is the last CD. WTF!? Four cuts from Miles at Newport 1958 and two from Monk 1963. How much more disjointed can you get? This is a one disc hatchet job of an original double CD release that I'd never buy to begin wit... | |
"Like" button for posts Pointless, useless. If you have nothing to contribute then just read/move on. | |
Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's After spinning these and comparing to stereo versions (e.g., KOB '97 Legacy CK 64935) I find I prefer these mono recordings overall. Even though I hear less detail and instrument separation, opposite of what I am always striving for in my system, ... | |
Hot Rats Thanks Ghosthouse - awesome! I will check out your recommendations. For me, when it comes to FZ, less talk/more guitar is always favored. | |
Does your system sound better than most demo's? I heard that amp (Wadia Intuition) with a pair of SF Cremona M (Magnolia at Best Buy, so granted, a not very good environment). Disliked the sound so much though that, even when given the opportunity to take home to try, I declined. Could have bee... | |
Hot Rats "Hot Rats" is only one of two FZ I own (other is "Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar") and I do love it. Can't stand to listen to any other album of his. Maybe one or two songs on many of them, but overall album to album, his releases are not my cup of... |
