| Is Digital actually better than Analog? In general, the proposition that "digital is better than analog" or viceversa remains undecidable. Exactly, both are great but unfortunately one still has a future ahead of it whilst the other has its best days behind it. No doubt the analog part... | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? How can you guys forget Roger Nichols that engineered Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly"... I think Bob Ludwig, in my original list, did the mastering on Nightfly...I just couldn't list everyone, I guess.George Martin is a good suggestion....did much ... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Such an emotive subject. An old versus a new approach. I catch myself sometimes saying to the kids, "Well, in my day, things were much better..." but things do move on, and the kids just roll their eyes...VHS versus DVD. Carburetors versus electro... | |
| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? Lets not forget the guys at the console and responsible for the technical quality in what we hear. Here a few of the greats;Doug SaxGeorge MassenburgBob KatzAlan ParsonsBob LudwigDavid LordQuincy JonesJack RennerChuck AinlayJames Guthrie | |
| Questions Re: Time & Phase Alignment Ears are roughly 6 inches apart....a lot of phase correction is done when the brain combines both signals....so don't get too hung up on this issue alone, especially above 2Khz where our ears will quite likely get out of phase sound at certain spe... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? Are we listening to the same LP? The Borg? Wow. I accept Nightfly is a milestone recording along with DSOTM, Roxy Music Avalon and other great recordings out there. Musically it is great too...great piano, great vocals and great melodies. My beef... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? How can something be excessively perfect? Maybe it's like over abundant or past history.I suspect the human element is lost or reduced when something becomes so perfect that every drum beat is identical. Sometimes it is the little imperfections o... | |
| An ignorant question about impedance Linearity is best preserved with low output impedance and high input impedance over the audible frequency range. The impact of interconnects, speaker cables and speaker impedance variation with frequency should all be minimized in this case. 10 to... | |
| Mid sized room -Full range vs Monitor The fact that your rear wall ( behind the listening position ) is not concrete is a fantastic bonus....concrete is very reflective and will not leak out energy and consequently you may get overly long reverb times. The best place to have a "leaky"... | |
| Paradigm Ref Studio 80's - Minimum Tube Power? I second Duke....no more to add or say. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496: Ease of Use there's no clipping it's pretty impossible to hear this piece doing something wrong when it's being used entirely in the digital domain. Not sure - it depends what you mean by wrong....I agree in the sense of "distortion", however an EQ introduce... | |
| Mastering for CD vs. Vinyl Thanks for the heads up....I will steer clear of this release. | |
| Genelec Speakers opinions Efner, I've been a recording engineer for 37 years and have used Genelecs sometimes. Which model are you referring too that were so bad? I thought they have improved a lot recently...perhaps because they were losing market share to other monitors.... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? I think it is great but I find the drum tracks very artificial and tiring...catchy/distinctive at first then boringly monotonous.If you read up on it......they went back and edited the drum track and replaced every beat with one "ideal" recorded b... | |
| How Much Power is Enough? Would having more power make much of a difference? No. Not for what you describe. I'm looking for an amplifier that will bring about a wide soundstage, tighter bass, and exceptional smooth execution of mirco-detail. -have you considered room mod... |
