| Holographic imaging **above** the ensemble, which produces an odd perspective, unless you happen to know that that is where the mics are placed. Wood floors and microphone height above floor are key in recording. The floor will produce comb filtering as the sound is... | |
| Want to buy a high-end and excellent DAC, help plz However, I don't think i have a chance to listen to the demos so everyone's opinion is very important to me Well I am not in your league (I could not justify such expense on a DAC) but assuming you really do welcome all opinions on this matter - ... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" Ben,Thanks that was interesting and refreshing - very catchy stuff. Makes me think of Razorlight - another modern band that brings back that period in the late 70's early 80's but with a new variation on the sound (rather than covers) | |
| Power cords and soundstage However, that is not the case universally, as there are audiophiles who make comparisons and upgrade cables because they hear a difference which they deem important Agreed - no war - I was just trying to show that it is a difference of philosophy... | |
| good speaker with Sound stage behind???? Oops you did it again! Duke's advice rings true once again. I would also add that a scooped midrange gives depth or makes the stage/vocalists/lead guitar feel further away and less in your face. Look for a speaker with a dip in the upper midrange ... | |
| Power cords and soundstage The belief that my cheap cabling was just as good soothed the envy of not being able/willing to spend the money on it. Now you are laying down the gauntlet! We are worse than simply misinformed or tin eared but are actually envious "cheapos" who ... | |
| Mark Levinson No.512 CD Player---Opinions Jaybo,Once again I find myself fully agreeing with you - a Lavry DA10 or Benchmark Dac1 can turn most any transport into a player equalling most 3K good quality designs (so can an excellent DSP for that matter). After this I suspect it is as much ... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" This is new and relatively unknown. It is their debut album. Great sound too. | |
| U2 reissues M People?I won't even go there.........This is played live on Bizarre Fruit CD and it is really dynamic If you don't like them then you can at least use it as a demo disc as it is simply a very nice recording. | |
| U2 reissues Bongofury,Thanks for all those suggestions- I missed them until today. I'll do some more buying this weekend ;-)BTW I already have The English Beat and The Specials - Free Nelson Mandela is awesome sounding.I'll suggest another - M People Bizarre ... | |
| Holographic imaging is there any reason why the two may be mutually exclusive - that is, does the most accurate equipment in terms of one mean a lessening of the other? My experience is they are hard to find. Most horns give you dynamics of live music but lose that ... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" ...and then there's Mr. Tom Petty...who made sure that in the recent Mudcrutch release, NO compression was used. Classy guy... For sure compression would sound harsh on Tom Petty's ATC speakers. I find Tom Petty's CDs are often extremely well rec... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" The CD from Rebelution "Courage to Grow" is absolutely outstanding. We are talking audiophile quality and some great grooves - you can really crank it and enjoy. Personally I have dropped bands that have gone the way of ugly compressed sound even ... | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons Jkalman,Thanks for the links. It seems to corroborate my statement that interface jitter is a well known problem when devices are synchronized using a clock signal - or am I missing something? The way I see it, a long run of HDMI cable might behav... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? In typical home audio system peaks are reaching 100W and average power is around 1W - same ratio. Yes - exactly - that was my point - this is barely beginning to compete with the dynamics of real instruments unless you have high efficieny horns a... |
