| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? My favorite tweak is applied to ALL systems that I listen to, no matter where I am. It is removing my glasses. Eye glasses set up a diffraction pattern about your head and removing them takes this away. I can’t believe how many times I go into ... | |
| Concentration If my wife’s healthcare worker is here, I may hear music on her phone in the background (classic easy rock). If I am sitting at my computer, I may be listening to someone’s system or a YT video over the nearfield monitors. But I pay attention to... | |
| The cool factor- who has it? Early ELVIS! | |
| Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend Some of the Talking Heads cuts have really uncanny soundstage and imaging, even if one doesn't care for the group or their music. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? I have this one. https://youtu.be/dbPy7hxvj9Q BTW, I do believe that it was The Ocean that I remember the pedal squeak on. And even now, I can still hear the pedal mechanism. https://youtu.be/oqAmnEKlIZw | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? The idea is that a second set of ears didn’t hear it either and she is a bit more than half my age (40s maybe). But she is here several times a week and when we listened to the YT version, we both heard the very low noises toward the beginning an... | |
| Validation ..., except that nothing comes up on my computer. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? I have the original CD and listened on the AKG headphones and still don’t hear it. I also had my wife’s healthcare worker listen on YT to Remastered version, nearfield, and she couldn’t hear it as a squeak. She is really big into jazz. We cer... | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? biwire, that’s what I’m wondering. Certainly seems like it should be there if it’s there. My Heil nearfield. | |
| Old SS amps I have/use a Yamaha RX-Z9 bought new in 2003 now with over 35,000 hours that still functions like new. Maybe the fan is a bit louder. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? Has everything to do with music. If it's there, I want to hear it. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? So, does anyone hear it here??? Maybe I’m not listening for the right "thing", but I seem to recall it being a fairly distinct squeak from the early records. Maybe it was a European pressing? My friend had quite a collection and introduced me t... | |
| Validation Nothing I would like better than having staff from Stereophile Magazine come over for a listen and review the sound of speakers of a listener’s design/build on a shoestring budget that can compete with the big guys. I know that some of these guys... | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? We are listening for the "squeak" in the kick drum pedal assembly. | |
| Validation @lloydc I can’t understand half the words either... But then, I don’t speak Spanish! Actually, the vocal track is recorded way down on that and it is very hard just to hear what is being said, let alone understand it. If you get the system ri... |
