| 10 best jazz SACD's ?? I'll add Brubeck's-Take Five to the small but growing list. Herbie Hancock's-Headhunters has an interesting/active surround mix and it's good music. | |
| "The Death of High Fidelity" Bongofury I thinky you're confusing the 2 types of compression. I think the Rolling Stone article deals with how engineer's go crazy with compressors in the studio robbing dynamic music of all its dynamics. You're talking about file compression(wh... | |
| Creating compilations in preparation of Bar Exam Portugal I like the David Sylvian/Holger Czukay album as well. I think the one Richard is referring to is titled Flux & Mutability. The second track(there's only 2 REALLY long tracks) is especially nice. I think you should check out steveroach... | |
| Can you test my internet radio station please Well Mr. Psacanli, I've been in the electronic music scene for 18 years now and personally know many of these artists so I think that's good enough. The others will certainly not mind. I'm not playing The Beatles and Pink Floyd. If anyone thinks I... | |
| Can you test my internet radio station please I ripped all the stuff at 192...maybe I'll lower the bit-rate to 160 to see if that helps. Thanks for the comments. I'm going to install a little plug-in for iTunes that will show listeners the artist/track soon. | |
| Creating compilations in preparation of Bar Exam I love Steve Roach for studying, reading & zoning out. A few of my favorites are The Magnificent Void and Structures Of Silence. | |
| ultimate compact travel system I have the Dynaudios and they may be a tad bigger than you realize Jax2. It looks like Celtic66 wants a 5.1 system anyway and he already owns the Micropods. You would need $4000 worth of Pelican cases to just transport a 5.1 Dynaudio system. Now i... | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... Cfchew have you heard the Minutemen do Doctor Wu? | |
| Give the new Kid Rock a shot. My only objection is that people keep saying "listen to something NEW or something DIFFERENT" like Kid Rock is some sort of "different" musician that no one has ever heard of. How is Kid Rock either new or different? His first album came out almos... | |
| CDs to harddrive to DAC wtihout a PC? The cheapest Olive I see is $1100 and only has a 160GB hard drive. You could get a mac mini, a huge external hard drive & a killer audio interface for that price. | |
| Rega Exact 2 on a Technics 1200 I have Trackmasters, Trackmaster II's & Stanton D5200's(DJ Kraze models) for my decks but I do a lot of scratching and backcueing, etc. I had an extra Rega Super Elys laying around when I upgraded to a Dynavector and that's what I tried to mou... | |
| Rega Exact 2 on a Technics 1200 Let me ask...since you are using a 1200 I would only assume that you're not a "typical listener". Do your tastes lean more toward electronic music, rock, hip-hop or the typical audiophile stuff like jazz and/or classical? | |
| Rega Exact 2 on a Technics 1200 I personally think Rega carts should stay on Rega decks and to take it one step further I think there are better carts for the monye. Besides that I've tried to mount a Rega cart to a Stanton headshell and it just wouldn't mount properly. If I rem... | |
| How do you download your LP's to your computer? Daveyf I'm not sure what you mean by your peamp having a pretty large voltage output. It shouldn't be anything a soundcard couldn't handle. An easier solution would be to get a portable firewire/usb powered audio interface that includes phono ins ... | |
| Give the new Kid Rock a shot. Wow I just listened to it and it IS pretty good. I take back everything I said. I can't believe how great it is in fact. I just listened to it three times in a row. I guess this is what the kids are calling underground/alternative rock. |
