| Why does all new pop music sound the same? @chayro agreed on this being way more interesting and socially enlightening than whether Cable B produces less deeptwitch crosstalk when paired with Widget C, and I’m not trying to shut anyone down or prove someone wrong just to be a troll. For th... | |

| Why does all new pop music sound the same? And yet the high school seniors I teach have a musical knowledge base and listen to a wider variety of artists than my generation ever did at that age. | |
| Hum!! I'd give Jolida a call and explain the symptoms. Their customer service is pretty reliable - if a tad bit flaky at times - and they stand by their products. | |
| Good Quality Music on Tidal ECM's line of artists and albums are always impeccably produced. Tidal has a bunch of ECM releases. | |
| Which speakers do I pick and are they close in quality Based on your listening preferences and components, I'd suggest the Totems. They'll reproduce Marillion and Floyd, et al, without skimping. | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions This has bothered me for a while now, but one of the dealers' posts mention someone "halking" their products. The verb is "hawking", which means to cry out in public about wares or products one is selling. | |
| Speaker distance @geoffkait I agree. I think we tend to set our speakers so far apart as to replicate a stage experience. And yet our rooms aren't a stage. | |
| Speaker distance This is an interesting thread! I have Acoustic Zen Adagios, 9'3" apart and 11' 3" from my ears. This is based on Jim Smith's ratio of the distance between speakers being .83% of the distance between your ears and the speakers. However, I've been r... | |
| Impulse buy, ad nauseum... I agree with the OP. There're tracks on this album Id never heard before, and the vocal in particular, along with Paul's bass, just jump out in their clarity. This is well worth getting just for its sheer musicality. It lives up to the hype! | |
| Catalog Completist? RushKate RusbyCassandra WilsonThe YellowjacketsPhishseveral othersThere's a continuity in the complete catalog; an experience of the artist through all their brilliance and mediocity, that's essential to acceptance. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The XX, "I See You". Never heard before. Haven't even fired up the VPI in a few weeks. Maybe I'll follow that with Chick Corea's Akoustic Band "Alive!" | |
| Most overrated bands @andrei_nz-- you miss my point in an attempt to degrade it. I'm simply saying that musical opinions about something being "overrated" are about as worthless and self-centered as anything. What does "overrated" mean? That a large segment of the gen... | |
| No love for Verity? I've been curious about Verity for a while. I have AZ Adagios now which are just fine, but I was wondering how the Finn might sound. | |
| Most overrated bands We agree to disagree. I mean, I find intellectual and musical satisfaction in Reich's Music for 18 Musicians just as much as I do in Debbie Gibson's "Only In My Dreams". Crap is crap, but music is music. To set some arbitrary "absolute" is the sam... |
