| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Audiofeil,I agree with your description. The instruments have a far away kind of sound and the vocals are edgy. Whatever is the cause, I find it has the monotonous kind of sound of much of today's pop music, which lack dynamic range due to compres... | |
| Life is complicated, lets keep it simple. Have you considered buying Mac Mini and a cheap/second hand keyboard, monitor and mouse? (many people throw away old keyboards and monitors). I use a dedicated Mac Mini to run my four CD mega changers....overkill maybe but it works and I can surf ... | |
| Your favorite prog rock music? ? I have to say it again....great thread! | |
| Your favorite prog rock music? ? No one mentioned Santana yet...or Roxy music.. or 10cc ....but I'd include them in prog rock IMHO...although may be I am stretching the boundaries. For me Art rock is part of prog rock. I would not count the Cars as prog rock.....but then again...... | |
| Need help with room A narrow spike at 630 Hz may be room related....try moving the SPL meter by 1 foot and see if the spike disappears. If it does then you may want to try acoustic treatments as an EQ will not solve that problem except at that exact listening positio... | |
| Your favorite prog rock music? ? Queen - pomp and operatic rock.Rush 2112 was a classic toogood thread! | |
| Need help with room Are you using single frequency tones or warbled test tones? Single frequency tones can give some deep spikes/nulls which I would tend to ignore if they are very sharp....30 db swing from peak to trough in your size room is not surprising. Check ou... | |
| Life is complicated, lets keep it simple. Get the small Airport Express from apple and you will be up and running in no time....send music wirelessly from your Mac pro to your existing gear.It can't get any simpler then that. Plug it in (connect the audio to your amp with a 1/8 inch stere... | |
| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? I second Newbee's last comments - furniture, plants, bookshelves, absoption behind the listening position, diffusers on side walls and moving speakers far away from rear wall and keeping listening position around 40% from the wall behind your list... | |
| room design help I second Andy's comments....make sure the room dimensions are not a multiple of the ceiling height. Wooden frame is good as it will leak the bass out ...producing less reverberation or room modes. If you are going to such trouble you may also cons... | |
| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? Newbee,Thanks for all the advice. I see you speak for everyone or perhaps you took a poll ;-) | |
| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? Newbee,Nevermind - I don't think you grasped what I was trying to say. I mean how did you construe what I say to mean that there is "a definitive or only way of setting up speakers and there is only one possible end result"; frankly, I just can't ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Those who love analog sure love to bash digital....I have yet to come across a thread which started the other way round....when will Analog get the soul of music, what is wrong with analog, for example?I understand perfectly all that tweaking, cle... | |
| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? There is a common misconception being perpetrated here. The reflected acoustics off the side walls are NOT out of phase and will not destroy stereo image provided the speakers are an equal distance from the side walls and the listener is sitting i... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Wendell,If you happen to get a chance to compare the two directly through the same system - do let us know...BTW I like Dylan too - just not pleased with the quality of this CD - that is all. |
