| un-becoming an audiophile @grislybutter I don’t think people generally who spend many 1000s a year on upgrades alone are the type concerned with thinking about the well being of strangers. But I could be wrong. When I read the comments on the post of how-do-you-stop-hou... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Not this subject again! So frustrating to me. I am an unapologetic audiophile, yet I have none of the issues the OP mentions. I apologize in advance if anything I say sounds condescending, but the OP contains several flaws. First of all, it see... | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? @stringreen tickets to a live performance That is a non sequitur. The OP did not ask for an experience to beat the Wilson’s, he asked for a less expensive speaker that rivals them. But I seriously doubt, that anyone who can afford speake... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @oliver_reid I asked the power company to install Audiophile cabling all the way to my house., but they refused. If a $5k 2ft cable stuck on the end of power company + house wiring makes difference, there must a reason. A technical reason. B... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Almost any release on the ECM jazz/new music, label. From their earliest in the early 70’s, up through their current releases. Even with their studio recordings, there is a very real sense of real musicians, all playing at the same time, in the ... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Whenever I see conversations like this on music forums, and I see so many people make comments about how new music sucks, or, it's all autotune, I get the idea that these people are stuck in old ways of looking for new music. Good new music will ... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? For a stimulating workout of your brain, give Bach’s Concerto For 4 Harpsichords And Orchestra a listen. Each harpsichord plays a separate melody (the form of the Fugue, employing a lot of counterpoint), all following the chord progressions, modu... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Well for me "new" music sucks, It's all Auto tune. Mostly computers playing the instruments. Really last newer band for me was Audioslave. I mostly stick to 60's 70's 80's 90's @eryoung2k Wait... An easy way to avoid music that uses au... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? One possible anaysis might go: With the net and digital, production and distribution costs of publishing music are almost nil. So millions (and millions) of recordings of new music are now published annually as against certainly no more than 10,... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? If one can't find anything of interest in the music of J.S. Bach, perhaps he or she does not really love music as much as he or she thinks. JSB wrote enough music to keep one busy for at least a lifetime. Well... @bdp24 I love music, but Bac... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align So many, I could fill pages... I like the earlier recommendation of songs from the ELP album, Trilogy. I also like the David Sylvian recommendations. Here's a few off the top of my head, that I listened to recently: Return to Forever - Romanti... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Yeah, there have been several studies that show that the vast majority of people stop discovering new music around the age of 30. Some say 33. The most likely reason, is that from about one's mid teens up through their mid to late 20's, people ar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary Halvorson had 2 great releases in 2022. Her 2nd, is Belladonna. It is more in the chamber-jazz mode. She is a pretty creative musician. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Guitarist, Mary Halvorson - Amaryliss One of the best jazz releases of 2022. Progressive, but not avant-garde. | |
| What to listen for? @stuartk I don’t go out of my way to focus on such details-- it’s not "what I listen for" -- but whatever floats your boat... For me, if a system is able to reproduce these types of details (chair squeaks, papers moving, etc), it is also a... |
