| Loudness War I'm with Mapman on this. To me Thriller would have been successful without the high quality production, the question is would it have been the most successful album in the history of music if it sounded like most of the crap we get to day in pop/r... | |
| Best Remakes Of All Time Dune does a great job of this Queen classic...very haunting voice. A rare but good one.Also I like Tom Petty version of Thirteen Days (JJ Cale Song) | |
| Best Remakes Of All Time I love this version of Honky Tonk WomenI know this is a bit off the beaten path but it is darn impressive.However the Greatest Cover of ALL TIME has to be THIS version of the famous Swedish hit. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Weezer Ratitude is classic stuff - nothing ground breaking but certainly enjoyable... | |
| Loudness War The Dead or Alive original version is much better - less compressed. The extended mix has good dynamics. | |
| XLR waste of time ? I second Al, thanks Ralph! Your contributions a lot of weight. Although I have not built an amplifier for 25 years - I am glad to see that the tried and true electrical engineering principles remain on solid ground. There are plenty of textbooks t... | |
| Loudness War I would say Thriller is up there with the very best of recordings - absolutely. I have never found the sibilance and issue but there is plenty of attack so the midrange is not recessed as it is on many rock/pop albums (this will add to sibilance a... | |

| Loudness War Back in the day when LP's ruled the media world, these same complaints were constantly being heardYup, in those days you had to buy Japanese pressings and 12" 45 rpm (for clubs) of all the vinyl pop music if you cared about quality (enormous diff... | |
| Loudness War T Bone Burnett is another strong proponent and advocate of quality and bemoans the loudness wars too. No surprise there - he is rather a sound quality fanatic and likes to play music loud on his ATC 150ASL... | |
| Best Remakes Of All Time Eric Clapton Cocaine (J.J. Cale original)Guns n Roses - Knockin' on heavens door (Dylan original)The Troggs - Wild Thing (can't remember except it is a cover) | |
| Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms 4 ohm nominal designs which often dip down to 1.5 ohms will provide significant challenges for most power amplifiers. They will also cause speaker cables to start to make an audible difference and of course the heat generated in these type voice c... | |
| Loudness War I tried a software called SeeDeeClipIt works but it cannot create sweet sound of uncompressed music from much of the crap put out today. IMHO the improvement is around 5 to 10% - so some of your worst clipped stuff may just become bearable. | |
| Music for "Tough Times" This song is for tough times. Nearly 300,000 views in the week since it came out. Definitely tough times for many climate researchers. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? When you limit a driver in the frequency domain, you also limit it in the time domain. I've heard it often, especially in bass drivers. When the bass driver is cut off over "X" frequency vs. running full range, bass becomes slow and lacks punch, ... |
