| Loudness War Just scroll down and look at MetallicaNo wonder their fans are upset about the recent crap quality.Also note that the new release of MJ Thriller is a much worse than the original 1982 CD (which I have as I bought it in 1982, although I am not much... | |
| Loudness War The software I mentioned above can tell you the dynamic range and peak for each track.It appear that you can send your files to the website and presumably the software checks the dynamic range and then adds the file to the list.Here is the upload ... | |
| Best Sam and Dave and other Stax LP's I am not sure about Vinyl but Beat Goes Public and Brown Sugar have released a lot of great stuff from the archives in recent years. I have many CD's but there were many recently released on vinyl too. | |
| Tweeters got me baffled. Not that important. The reason for he offset is to minimize baffle edge diffraction..if you place a tweeter equidistant from the sides then you increase the amount of baffle edge effect at specific frequencies - the worst case would be a circular ... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far I thought I could stop playing The Cat Empire "Live on Earth" - 2009 release - fantastic blend of jazz, ska, rock and funk... absolutely crazy eclectic stuff from our friends down under!!Think Madness meets Herb Alpert with a twist of hip hop... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Is it just me but ACDC Black Ice is really nicely recorded and it has some great classic stuff.I find I had to get my air guitar out of the cupboard.Hats off to Brian Adams and the quality production from his new Vancouver Studio: The Warehouse | |
| Loudness War Blindjim,Why disparage the most successful album of all time?Why not give credit where credit is due! I feel back then quality played such a small part as to be inconsequential.Hang on. Thriller was part of the 8O's - an era where, as far as I am ... | |
| Best Remakes Of All Time Jaybo,I found this at wikihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Thing_%28Chip_Taylor_song%29it may be wrong but it seems it was originally recorded by The Wild Ones.FWIW: Nobody remembers the original | |
| Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms The word's leading designers are still trying to determine how many ohms to use in a speaker.Note like a true audiophile he uses an older form of the analog gramophone - the Edison cylinder.If you listen to the words you realize he is using much m... | |
| 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... |
