| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? LOL does playing in an actual band count? Of course it does...congrats on the band - any road trips planned? ....but for those "musically challenged" - Rockband is an easy way to "pretend" to play without months of lessons/practice and immediately... | |
| How Do You Organize Your Music? I don't - every CD is available using a search function from listening chair...nothing is ever more than a "click" away. | |
| For people with experience with Class-A amps Bombaywalla,You should try to relax a little - I recommend Rockband - it is great fun through the main system (loud) - not audiophile sound quality of course but hit those drums and you will forget sound quality and just enjoy the music! They even... | |
| Did Kharma make their 3.2 FE too short? This is concerning. If it changes the presentation so much that you would question the speaker design then how can you be confident about the driver alignment, Xover (lobbing perhaps) or speaker dispersion. Perhaps you have hardwood floors and thi... | |
| speaker to big? Panu21,You should definitely work on acoustic treatments (broadband traps) for the bass and consider a Parc or Room EQ Wizard. Boomy room modes can really clutter up detail in the bass. A small monitor might indeed be better provided it is a seale... | |
| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? Well I must add that that Rock Band is a revolutionary product. With 2.5 million songs downloaded and counting - this is a REVOLUTION in the making.Never have I had so much fun and the kids are just as keen (the teengaer is playing drums now and t... | |
| I get 70 of the Live Symphony Experience at home I am not sure where this came from but yes it is true that only a fraction of the music sounds like live and it is two factors1) Dynamic range of most home systems are sadly limited2) Dynamic range of recordings are almost all compressed to suit 1... | |
| Warner and Blu ray? At least people who buy a $99 player will not have much to complain about if HD-DVD media does die out....that is really a bargain...the only issue would be all those unplayable media discs....perhaps PC's will support HD-DVD and you can continue ... | |
| Satellites or full range? It depends on so much, however, since very large speakers are designed to play loud then you have a better chance of success with a large box full range speaker. Generally you are looking at three way or a compression horn. Many or most small two ... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? It will prove that the jitter with your CD player and a commercial CD IS audible if you hear ANY difference. Excellent - if it is indeed proven then you might consider an AES paper to corect these misleading studies - that is probably how to best... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? Rotarius, Having samples with jitter to compare would be meaningless unless the amount of jitter is quantified. I agree. If you are interested there is an AES Paper published where they studied the audible effects of jitter:Theoretical and Audible... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? I would test your DAC with another software and PC than iTunes and your mac mini. There are many programs that play music....surely you can find something and just test to see if you get drop outs...in which case it would lead one to suspect the D... | |
| Will a Power Conditioner Help? It may but the only way you can tell is to try one. What you are connecting sounds pretty modest - I would not worry about the load but an APC H15 may do the trick and tell you want current it is drawing. | |
| I need new music.... Try Keb 'Mo Slowdown | |
| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? Drums - my 8 year old is beating me! Paranoid is great but Wanted Dead or Alive is fun too. I hope my child keeps the interest up - the drumming is actually real drumming!I highly recommend Rock Band for the musically challenged/illiterate- a lot ... |
