| "RUSH" Vinyl remasters vs CD --Sound differences...OPINIONS? Plenty of RUSH fans out there. Great musicians. Exit stage left is great it breathes and has atmosphere. Their studio stuff seems too dry or cleansed - too much studio tweaking perhaps chasing perfection. | |
| Will I benefit from a new DAC that can upscale to 192 Upsampling has benefits in the way it distributes ghost images from the data above the Nyquist. The higher in frequency these ghosts are pushed the more like random noise they appear to the DAC. Random noise at high frequency is good because it he... | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? Caps should be reformed before you receive them if the speaker maker chooses such caps that require it. Otherwise this is not high quality production. High quality designs will also avoid passive crossovers for a multitude of obvious reasons. Capa... | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? @audiozen Replace the words “high end” in your post with “low end” and you are right. Only crap low quality speakers have a high risk of “off center piston” misalignment. High quality speakers made of high quality parts are not only built with far... | |
| What is considered a "standard" percentage of devaluation per year foor high end speakers? +1 Elizabeth nailed it! | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Ok since we are talking Beatles. What about Lennon’s violent behaviour towards women? Did he get that from his Dad? And how did the Beatles manage to hide this ugly aspect and maintain their image and fan base. I guess personal life was much more ... | |
| Speaker Break-In - What Physically Changes During Break-In To Enable Better Sound? It all depends on design. Big motors and acoustic suspension will dominate response on high quality drivers - spider and surround compliance being negligible. On low quality drivers then you can fully expect the manufacturer to recommend a break i... | |
| Led Zeppelin Classic Records 45 series -Am I nuts? Oops - this is a very old thread. FWIW the Deluxe set released starting in 2014 is the best remaster I have heard and is significantly better than earlier stuff. That 45 rpm sounds better than 33 - well DUH big face palm! Of of course it does.33 i... | |
| Hearing loss , speakers or headphones ? Shure SE846 are the best IEM period. Etymotic ER4 were good once (like 20 years ago) but have long been superseded. Headphones will be easiest for audibility as there is no room reflection/reverb in the sound and these IEMs eliminate all backgroun... | |
| Led Zeppelin Classic Records 45 series -Am I nuts? The Deluxe Led Zeppelin remastered set released a few years ago (starting in 2014) is the best I have heard for sound quality. Drums are much clearer. | |
| Favorite Dylan? Oh Mercy is a favourite of mine but it is hard to have a favourite for long as so much of Bob Dylan’s work is pure genius. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Thx Bdp24 for sharing I must listen more to Big Pink so far I didn’t get into them in any way even having listened extensively. Just to be clear on above post, I have nothing but total admiration for the hard working talented band of The Beatles ... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Beatles were clearly not great individual technical musicians but extremely talented song writers (especially together) with some good production talent behind them (the fifth Beatle). Nobody went to see the Beatles for the musicianship - they cou... | |
| Better "Noise Cancelling" Headphones for Air Travel? The best IEM is the Shure SE846. It is better than anything else for your application. Forget about cancellation nonsense and enjoy 37dB noise reduction with the memory phone buds. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Just calling a spade a spade or do you deny that this thread is purely promotional in nature on your part. You even admitted you get commission. |
