| Greatest Rock Drummers Check out this version of Walking on the Moon done in jazz swing rather than one drop reggae!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zd3c1CPr5ScRhythm is everything! A great vocalist without rhythm is not a musician. Frank Sinatra didn’t have such a great v... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Oh yeah Jazz and Blues (Rock/folk) require a different mindset. It is hard to switch from Snare and Bass (Blues back beat) to Ride and Hi-hat (jazz). Jazz is all about swing and comping. They both however focus on the One. Reggae is the mind bende... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait Sigh! Yes of course digital propagates as an analog signal. The key is to understand that the threshold between a 1 or a Zero is so large and that checksum and other additional packet error checking information allows a packet of digita... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait Ethernet is digital. Digital eliminates small analog differences completely. Unless you think that the shape of the bits (rounder 0 and sharper 1) is being affected by directionality, shielding, resistance and capacitance of wire. (Th... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Since there is no audio clock timing information conveyed over an ethernet cable it can’t make any difference at all UNLESS your gear is crap (something extraneous affected by the cable used like grounding or load or digital noise related crosstal... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass I would choose between KEF or the TAD. The others two will be bass flabby (one of your concerns). | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I love Steve Jordan. Great feel and groove. I would say there is no greatest. They all contributed something. Neil Pearl is a master technically but not so much gifted with feel.If I was forced to choose then my top pick would be John Bonham. Anyo... | |
| Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice +1 audiotroyExcellent suggestion.I would also add that you must take several test CD and compare a variety of music genres (not just audiophile well recorded stuff). The best setups will make everything sound fantastic - ALL genres and especially ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait WRONG AGAIN.You are only correct when it comes to selling audio which is why the audio market is replete with snake oil and wild unsubstantiated claims. Many areas are regulated such that claims must be substantiated.Examples are ever... | |
| Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice @gerrysh930 Good plan. Keep checking things out and listening. Since you like Wilson then try to also audition any of the larger ATC. You just might discover Joshua Bell and NY Phil in your room. Some listeners are sensitive to timbre and some are... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @clearthink = @bo1972 = Bobby KingmaNote how Clearthink chimes in on this thread and stated:Quote:With your permission, if I may, please kindly allow me to elucidate these matters regarding Bo, who is a visionary and trailblazer in the world of hi... | |
| Underspent on speakers relative to overall system? Yes your speakers are a very weak link. Lots of distortion and can’t even play at 90 dB SPL without compression and the deviation from linearity plots look absolutely awful at 95 dB SPL. Also that nasty peak just above 2KHz screams that something ... | |
| Recordings that only sound good on resolving systems @mofimadness Well I guess it depends on whether you appreciate all those details captured on a less clinical recording (such as a live session) that has captured what I would call more musical feeling.For example, a lot of Led Zeppelin drifts in t... | |
| Recordings that only sound good on resolving systems @mofimadness You obviously have never heard a highly resolving system - a system where you can actually hear what has been done to manipulate said recording. It is like a higher resolution screen image that makes CGI more obvious because reality h... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Bad choice for your application. Horns all have a narrow dispersion pattern compared to other designs and especially Ohm designs. This means there is a sweet spot that is tightly defined. Think of your room and your family. You want pleasant sound... |
