| Room Acoustics, minimal treatment and measurements I love the Jim Smith 83% ratio for the listening triangle. It’s been a metric I’ve used religiously at every set-up | |
| Changes to Orchestra tuning. @frogman Question: why the oboe in particular? | |
| Are You a Swifty? @mahgister I sometimes look at it this way: how much of the music I listen to now do I think I'll still be listening to in 5 or 10 or even 15 years? And I think some music is perfectly fine to recognize as being of the five-year variety and then ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @mahgister I don't think being old has anything to do with liking or not like Swift or Gaga or any contemporary music any more than being a 20-something has anything to do with loving Nina Simone or Julie London or Jean-Luc Ponty. For you it see... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns at the risk of being unctuous myself, the term is "good'un", not 'goodin' Sheesh, along with the "That dog dont bite", you're about as folksy as a credit card. Anyhow, I can tell that you're defensive and thin-skinned, so I'm goin... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns Nothing of what you've blathered about has struck a nerve save for the unctuous manner in which you blather. At least millercarbon had a sense of humor. And yes, I did say "legitimate art" as that's the conclusion one can reach about ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns Buddy, you can semantically parse your words all you want but, yes, you are enforcing a completely arbitrary and arrogant gateway for what can be considered legitimate art. I'm sorry, that's your opinion and I guess you're entitled to ... | |
| Danish Lust #1 thread title so far this year | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns look, I'm not arguing that we as a society are attracted by the superficial and hollow (and yes, I do lisyen to swift and have seen a few shows), but again, labeling her fans as vapid is snobbery at its finest. Are you without fau... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns "Taylor Swift’s music and her cynical exploitation of the American’s need for vapid pablum." This kind of wrinkles me. I mean, I'm no Swift apologist or celebrator, but that quote above just reeks of cultural gatekeeping -- as if y... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @loomisjohnson +1 | |
| Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony has eclipsed Hana SL @markrj @rauliruegas Thank you both for replying. You're right in that the Maestro isn't as detailed as the Hana, but it does provide a wider soundstage. However, it's a moot point as either the suspension or the cantilever on the Hana is out of ... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @allenf1963 Fascinating. 1. No one under 90 has used "ROTFLMAO" since, like, 2010. 2. The DNC is contributing to what's apparently wrong with music today? 3. "less than mediocre" - enough said. 4. Yes, for four pages - to which you've no... | |
| Are You a Swifty? A talented and self-aware, confident songwriter who had enough faith in her artistry to convince her conservative banker father to move to Nashville and help his daughter establish herself there. Plays the business beautifully and it’s a pleasure ... | |
| Best monoblock amps for $2000 used I wonder if the OP ever went down their monoblock road, some 7 years after the original question? |
