| Seeking Schumann 4th that is listenable I don't know whether comparing versions on Spotify would help but : https://open.spotify.com/search/schuman%20symphoy%202%2C%204 | |
| Russians display outstanding musicianship @tomcy6 "The problem isn't between the Russian and American populations, it's the governments" I agree. And yet I can't help but wonder whether the lack of interest shown in this thread is directly attributable to the fact I opted to include ... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? You are definitely right! I suspect I’m simply less aware of timbre than tonal balance. What I’ve noticed is that tonal balance and PRaT are the first things my brain locks onto and evaluates before turning its attention to timbre, sound staging... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mahgister You are of course correct in your assertion regarding timbre and tonal balance! If my words implied otherwise, that was sloppy thinking on my part. | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mahgister Forgive me but I’m having difficulty locating my experience with EQ within your framework... so I must use my own framework in this case. For me, it’s not so much about timbre as it is about overall tonal balance-- most often the hig... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mike_in_nc "Did I really need it? No. Am I enjoying it? For sure!" ... and that's what matters, right? Life is short. You've made me curious about DigiKey -- I'll check them out. I may very well eventually pick up a Max -- it's just not at ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim My Jazz listening journey was, for quite awhile, very much influenced by the Penguin Guides to Jazz. I started out collecting the usual "classics" but the Guides also turned me on to lesser known recordings from the 50’s and 60’s as ... | |
| Russians display outstanding musicianship Glad to know you enjoy them, mahgister. They've done several US tours. I don't know if they can help bring the American and Russian populations closer together but I very much hope so. From what I've read, they've been received very enthusiastica... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mike_in_nc Good to know about the interface. I’ve had more pressing audio matters to attend to and as a result, haven’t bought a Max. Now, having read your post, I probably, won’t, as the distance from my listening chair to the Max would be mor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim " I still really enjoy listening to simple 50’s-60’s style jazz and closing my eyes and imagining that I’m in some smoky nightclub on the lower east side, tapping my toe." Nothing wrong with that! I listen to that sort of stuff, to... | |
| Stephen Stills @tweak1 OK. Got it. Had no idea they covered this -- when you said you were a "huge SS fan", I erroneously assumed you were specifically referring to his own compositions. Yeah; this is pretty good. Personally I find many performances from th... | |
| Stephen Stills @tweak1 You mean, "Bluebird", recorded with B. Springfield? @roxy54 The only time I caught him live was in ’74 at the Hollywood Bowl. My high school friends and I had nosebleed seats but Stills was on fire. I guess you could call him a "beast... | |
| Determining exact power being sent to your speaker @mlsstl Your prickly defensiveness is entirely unwarranted. As I made no accusations, assertions or assumptions, I find it quite puzzling that you would describe my QUESTION as "putting words in [your] mouth". All I have to say on this topic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You’re most welcome... | |
