| What about "Pro" vs. Audiophile ????? Bishopwill - you're absolutely correct. My worst experience in the studio was being brought in to lay keyboard tracks at a studio in the worst part of the East Bay Area here in California.I walked into the control room and gazed in horror onto abo... | |
| What about "Pro" vs. Audiophile ????? I'm a classically trained pianist and been a studio musician (pianos, synthesizers and keyboards) for many years, and currently do a fair amount of home recording as well. Lps2cd brings up a good point about the ceiling on pro interconnects and wi... | |
| Any great speakers out there? FAM124 - I'm laughing so hard it's hard to type. Drrdiamond, go check out his actual auction description and I think it may clear up the whole misunderstanding.On a serious note, I'm sorry about your loss, FAM124, this is the fear that keeps me fr... | |
| Define high current amp? Thank you all for the wealth of information. I've got some more listening and research to do, and really do appreciate the insight and recommendations. | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? This brings up a question for me (I started the "need wisdom comparing planars" thread)...has anyone tried using two pairs of Maggie 1.6's in the "wall of planars" configuration alluded to? Is this a "poor man's" Mag Tympani?Or are there better ro... | |
| Need some wisdom comparing planars Sunnyjim:Maybe this is the same thing you're saying...I too find the Magnepans are not "just like hearing live music", as most advertisements (including that 30 minute infomercial that Herbie Hancock does for Bose) proclaim. Don't get me started o... | |
| Need some wisdom comparing planars Thanks you for all your responses. I am a little overwhelmed that so much helpful and useable advise came so quickly; I was anticipating a fair share of "you must do what I've done or you're not a serious audiophile" kind of posts, but didn't get ... | |
| Need some wisdom comparing planars Nelsjay:I haven't heard the 1.6s yet, and wanted to give a little time after getting blown away by the 3.6s before I went back and auditioned them.What equipment / cables are you using to drive yours? | |
| Best female vocals on CD Jane Monheit - Come Dream with Me. Trust me, you'll like it. | |
| Who R U? Snook2, it ofter seems to me that "geek" is in the eyes of the beholder(s) who give you that 'deer in the headlights' stare as you wax poetic about soundstaging, imaging and minute gradations of coloring. I'm 38, a VP of product mgmt. for an onlin... | |
| Your Dream Band Ok, they don't all have to be alive, right? Perhaps Pagannini on Violin, Toots Thielman on Harmonica, Franz Liszt on piano, Bruford or Mike Portnoy on drums, Jeff Berlin on bass, Metheny on guitar, Fripp doing his Frippertronics/Soundscapes thing.... | |
| Great Acoustic Guitar Recordings Paco De Lucia's "Siroco", Christopher Parkening's "Simple Gifts". Second the vote for Phil Keaggy's "Wind and the Wheat", although it isn't a primarily acoustic release per se. | |
| Bagpipe Music Matt Seattle, "Out of the Flames" on Discipline Global Music. This is Robert Fripp's own label (of King Crimson fame) and is dedicated to preseving and protecting artist's rights as well as publishing a wildly diverse catalog of great music. You c... | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. Startling? King Crimson's "Lark's Tongues in Aspic", Liquid Tension Experiment's "Vol. 1", Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", Wendy Carlos' "Beauty in the Beast" & "Tales of Heaven and Hell". | |
| Best brand CDR/CDRW! IMHO, HHB Model 850 or 850 plus. Make sure you feed it quality media. |
