| Not recognized in their lifetime? Kate wolf, Bessie Smith come to mind. Two great talents that come to mind that were never fully recognized in their lifetimes. Undoubtibly Kate Wolf would not have wanted celebrity as much as recognition for work well done. | |
| What are the characteristics quality recordings? Thanks Rushton. Perhaps I will check your recommendations out. I obviously have difficulty describing what I hear so I appreciate the clarification. | |
| What are the characteristics quality recordings? Damn, Rushton! That was excellent! It is awful to admitt but I do not think I have ever heard anything approaching proper soundstaging. Everything I have heard always seems a little larger, little smaller than what I imagine the real thing sounds ... | |
| What are the characteristics quality recordings? I think another part of the equation is the arrangement of songs or segments in the recording. To me a good recording unfolds something like a well written story.It has something to do with tension and congruity. An example of a bad recording in t... | |
| Denon 3805, muddy voices. Well there! You are both high! Have you tried smoking something different? | |
| Do we suffer our music? I think it is possible that some people could be looking in one place for one set of rules and an expected outcome, and then without even realizing it really find what they were looking for elsewhere, completely by accident or fate, and never real... | |

Ditto on Bing Crosby too. Karen Carpenter had a great voice! I was sad when she died. In that vein, I occationally pl... | |
| Somebody Help Convert me to tubes This might sound pretty weak by comparison to the other suggestions here. There are several avenues to take though, so I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. Consider a tube headphone amp. This is relatively inexpensive and easy to move in and out... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? sometimes it is that I am listening to the performance. Sometimes it is the sound of the recording, regardless of its real merit. Even that has its variables. I love "gear". I love music too. What luck I can actually rationalize in such a way that... | |
| Could somebody please explain You could just take for what it seems to be. Your friend is giving you music to listen to and wants your opinion. Since you are in doubt you could just assume this person is both sincere and generous. After all, what really is your opinion on musi... | |
