| How much do I have to spend? honashagen, I assume that when you say the upper mids are killing you, you mean that your system is too bright or harsh. That problem can be caused by any of the components in your system or any combination of them. Do you have a friend whose... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad bdp24, I wasn’t mad at you, like I said, I am still mad about how Jimi was treated and I have to vent from time to time. I believe Noel Redding was still suing for back royalties when he died, wasn’t he? The music business certainly has more than ... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad bdp24, Chas Chandler took Jimi to England but Chas wanted to be a record producer not a manager, so he had Jimi sign a management contract with Michael Jeffery, the manager who had robbed The Animals blind. Chas bitched all the time about how Mich... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Kids are going to like what they like. I’m not sure that the people who enjoy rap now will still be listening to it when they are 60 though. I think our culture in the US has been on a downward slide for some time and this is reflected in music, m... | |
| Honesty of the Reviewers Chervokas, You have got to be kidding about the news organizations only wanting to get the truth out. We've both had our say, now lets get back on topic. | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy If you're willing to look at electrostatics, the Martin Logan Montis or Summit X are really nice speakers and they convey the emotion of music very well. They are revealing and need good electronics.ML has gotten the crossover from the bass cones... | |
| Sanders sound systems preamplifier Hi arcticdeth, Before you spend any more money, get your cables separated with as little contact between them as possible. Having them bunched up behind the tv is asking for problems. | |
| Digital versus Vinyl - Grinnell College Review I have a midrange SACD player, an Esoteric K-05, and I find myself putting on a cd to listen to while I do something else and then being drawn to my listening chair and listening for a couple of hours regularly.If someone believes that all vinyl s... | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation There are a couple of series of compilations of relaxing jazz that are mainstream jazz, not smooth jazz, that are available on Amazon and eBay cheap. The first is from the Savoy label and it has titles that begin with, “Jazz For…” as in “Jazz For... | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation Mark Isham "Blue Sun" is some seriously relaxing jazz. He does a lot of film soundtracks, this is not one of them. Start with "Blue Sun" and if you like that, explore away. | |
| Anyone Attend RMAF? I didn't attend the show but I'm surprised to read that many rooms had a mono type soundstage. I've never had any problem getting good imaging. Even my $20 computer speakers, which are about 20 inches apart and a couple of feet from my ears, sprea... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" Agreed Albert! | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" I think that Czarivey was refering to the mention of the Electrocompaniet CD player, which if you google it, costs $3500, being matched with a $3500 Aluminata power cord. I see that the OP clarified that the cd player cost $8k. A $3500 power cord ... | |
| Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours? Tim, Thanks for telling your side of the story in a civil tone. There are always two sides to any story. Having some experience in retail, not audio, I know that it is not possible to please every customer. Perhaps if you put on your home page in ... | |
| Hybrid SACDs or CDs for Redbook Playback I don't know if the redbook layer of hybrid SACDs is carefully downsampled from the SACD layer or is just the old 16/44.1 file from the plain old cd release laying around. I think it would probably vary from SACD to SACD, but it would be nice to k... |
