| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog Laura Nyro sounds too breathy for me and this can make her difficult to understand on some cuts. Anything in Italian is foreign to me. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? https://youtu.be/ApS2wScgU44 | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Not my cup of tea. I like to understand the words and it ruins it for me whether they be obscured by a language barrier, or a breathy voice. This is more to my liking. https://youtu.be/ApS2wScgU44 | |
| Validation @richardbrand I challenge lots of assumptions and do things my way. https://youtu.be/ApS2wScgU44 | |
| Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend Vanessa and some friends dropped by for a session. Nice to have the room to accommodate them all. This is an SACD on an Oppo-95 through a Yamaha RX-Z9 RECEIVER in "Pure Direct" mode through the two inner speakers of my design/build. There is no... | |
| Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend @mihorn The Yamaha is original untouched from 2003 with well over 35,000 hours on it. I’m on it’s second remote. RX-Z9 AV receiver Audio processing modes: Dolby Digital, Surround EX, Pro Logic, Pro Logic II/IIx; DTS, DTS-ES Discrete & Matri... | |
| Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend I made a few changes to the Mermans. As always, this is a CD played on an Oppo-95 on a Yamaha RZ-Z9 RECEIVER in "Pure Direct" mode through the two inner speakers. There is no eq or room correction, either physical or electronic being used. Additio... | |
| Has anyone here set up a system with tiered subwoofers handling different bass spectrums? I do, but I don't use the subs for music. The Yamaha RX-Z9 feeds a dBX subharmonic booster and this feeds a Crown PSA-2XH in bridged mono mode producing ~800 WRMS into the 12 ohm load of the 15" JBL W15GTi. But even this doesn't go down as ... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries L. Nyro is too "breathy" for me and this makes her hard to understand. As nice as her voice is, I don't want to have to "strain" to understand the words. She sounds sort of like a Joni Mitchell but without the lower harmonics and inflection. | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Do it in the house as you would normally listen so the buyer knows what he’s getting. But, have someone(s) else there with you in case things go sour. | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? I've heard them at The Show and didn't care for them. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Nice. Just purchased Mother Lode and will probably get Haken and Echolyn. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries As I noted L&M blur the lines. Mellotron???? We don’t need no stinkin’ mellotron when we got real strings. A song can be progressive and country at the same time. https://youtu.be/ccYE-33ddkU Mellotron? Certainly synthesizer and orchestr... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Gentle Giant, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, Asia, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd (sorta), Moody Blues, etc. https://youtu.be/IaLqQo2r-3k https://youtu.be/yUpREizsftU When you get to Eagles, Loggins and Messina, Chris Cross, Michael McDo... | |
| Are you hearing the instruments or the music? @richardbrand I don’t go to orchestral concerts and listen to very little classical music. But it was nice having them accompany the Beatles on Let It Be and Magical Mystery Tour just a bit ago. And the placement of many of those instruments is... |
