| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? {quote] ut of curiosity, can you tell me a stock that the stock market has treated kindly [/quote]Gold has done well. I advised this a little over a year ago when I warned A'goners about the coming stock market rout and financial crisis. Everyone ... | |
| Recommend To Me Some Tuba Music Tubby the Tuba - Danny Kaye more seriously try The Dirty DOzen Brass Band - plenty of sousaphone (equivalent of a tuba inn a marching band) | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? If they age and if they also break-in then cables probably never stand a chance of ever sounding correct. To cope with this problem I suggest audiophiles sing along to this therapy.... | |
| John Mellencamp "Life,Death,Love....." T Bone Burnett uses ATC speakers for engineering, mixing and also for mastering (uses Gavin Lurssen). He has a thing about ensuring proper dynamics in what he produces. "Raising Sand" recently won album of the year Grammy. Perhaps there is still h... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? I find the systems used in most public venues "harsh" and sloppy to my ears-to say the least. True i many cases - although not so at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. They have an excellent sound system. | |
| Widening Soundstage I'd try to get the listening position a bit further away and free from any reflective surfaces. This might require placing your speakers closer to the wall behind them, which may be challenging for the bass (EQ perhaps or experiment with a sub). | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? that exaggerated vibratto, I really loved it A trumpet player calls this "sizzle" - it is a complex form of non-harmonically related overtones that metal horned instruments can generate...and I agree with you Harry James has awesome "sizzle".The ... | |
| production or reproduction why try to achieve perfect reproduction when it doesn't exist ? Could not agree more. Besides if "reproduction" is imperfect then it simply the best excuse to practice it that much more often! (headaches not withstanding) | |
| DIY speaker wire: does insulation matter? I'm with Al it should not matter enough to worry about. As some have mentioned wire geometry can have a small effect - especially placing wires far far apart (best place them close together). Twisting wires is most important for small signals into... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? Lrsky,Harry Kames Sheffield has realitistic dynamics - I am not surpised it compared well to the real thing. MOst o fteh problem with playback is the way the studios compress the music for distribution to the public (especially true of drums which... | |
| Extra long runs of Digital coax? It is preferable to use optical for longer runs but I suggest you try coax first and see. optical cannot pick up any stray RF/EM noise from equipment. Anyway you'll know pretty soon if it doesn't work as you'll get errors. | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS I'd add that long throw tends to rely on long coils and you get less driver control. The relationship between back EMF and inductance is a factor. Long throw designs of any size (even the TC sounds monster drivers) tend to have less control ("brak... | |
| Dream System For gear alone (neglecting room) that would be beyond my needs. I don't think it is necessary to spend that much. | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS It seems to me that a bigger, thicker, heavier cone would have reduced "compliance," if that is the right term, and therefore require a greater degree of damping than a smaller, lighter cone. Why would bass damping be independent of this? Good po... | |
