| How thick is the limit?... never heard anyone say? Just being honest, but the amps are tubed monoblocks so the stands may cut down on the non existent microphony. Can you point to evidence that tube microphony is "non-existant". This is news to me. I know it is less of an issue than TT vibration ... | |
| Balanced or Unbalanced? For an unrelated reason I bought a used set(4) of AQ Sorbogel Big Feet and put them under the Calypso just to hear what would happen. The "fuzz" at the peak of the notes disappeared, the notes were clean/clear!! I keep saying this on many threads... | |
| is too large a room no good? The Goldilocks room?Very small rooms = bad. Period. There is no such thing as a great sounding very small room. Good or Bad is possible with "small" rooms but never great. Too many close reverberations give a highly cluttered sound and listening i... | |
| LS3/5A owners - what sub do you use with them Try this site. I would not push these speakers in a big room. Naturally they will distort at modest levels. | |
| The focus and air lie if you are focused upon accuracy of reproduction, than i would agree with you. however, much of the purpose of the music is transmitted by means of a radio If you are referring to my post then you are incorrect. I am not trying to hear "accuracy"... | |
| Bryan Ferry - Boys and Girls SACD -long- Excellent review. I have the CD of course as I do all the Roxy albums. Since your review is so good I can add nothing to it - except to say that if anyone likes this kind of 80's synth sound slick danceable stuff then I would recommend Duran Duran... | |
| The focus and air lie Mr Tennis,On second thoughts I guess I must add that I probably listen very differently from most people. I listen to recordings and concentrate on a particular individual instrument and then play it again listening to another. Perhaps this is why... | |
| The focus and air lie i can listen to music on a radio and get what ever the composer intended as i would on a "high end" stereo system. What? You can't be serious. Do you just listen to melodies then? What about the musicians and conductor and arrangement? I mean bas... | |
| Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters? Lots of great suggestions. My suggestion would be ACDC - Back in Black - a really solid punchy rock sound.FWIW - there seems to be a common thread among many of the suggestions, so far - Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Pink Floyd, Police, Peter Gabr... | |
| The focus and air lie Undertow, The audiophile curse*** I agree about the Armani purse. Basically many like to say "we all hear differently" Agreed. Many like to stay with anjou pear, definitely The actual truth is we have varying degree's of deafness :-)And of course... | |
| The focus and air lie In my opinion, when it comes to loudspeakers, those that possess the necessary dynamics and instaneous swings in volume, for example, horns, tend to sound far more agressive, brash, and threadbare than real life, while those that can reproduce th... | |
| The focus and air lie Ndeslions, To get that focus and air hifi components cheats, it's all in the meds and high meds, a bit less meds, a bit more high meds and you get the details, the air, the focus BUT you loose timbral accuracy, fullness. The technical term is a "s... | |
| U2 reissues 'it works but it sounds awful when turned up loud on a good dynamic system.'I disagree with that comment. Yes you are not alone. U2's great success proves it. Most mastering engineers now agree that pop music requires heavy handed compression to ... | |
| CBS, Nautilus 1/2 speed DIGITALLY mastered LPs I don't know about the CBS stuff but Vlado Meller has a reputation for squashing music with compressors/limiters. I have a fairly good Tower of Power album done by him (still squashed but not totally destroyed) whilst I have some Red Hot Chilli Pe... | |
| U2 reissues U2 sound was mostly engineered by Steve Lillywhite. This was one of the first bands (apart from Punk rock) to go towards hypercompressed music. It was very successful for U2 - a kind of raw fatiguing unpolished sound that works well in a pub and c... |
