| Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything And a great deal of the money is still "there"--you can get half or more back if you ever sell. Unlike a car that's ready to trade in. | |
| Anyone Attend RMAF? Mapman, perhaps we really are dying off more quickly than we are being "replaced." | |
| Why does most new music suck? Bdp24 I still like Elvis Costello and Talking Heads. "Stop Making Sense" is still at the top of my list of concert movies--and I'm a child of the damn 60's. | |
| Artists that use the same song structure... Czarivey, you are wrong about bluegrass. I've taught and played enough of those songs to know that it's not so one-dimensional. There are subtleties and musical variations that you apparently have not yet encountered--I know it's not a matter of t... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Czarivey--that's beautiful. I didn't know the man but in the Gospel according to Wiki it's said he cited Tchaikovsky as an influence, FWIW. Personally, I think anyone who can't hear the blues in pieces such as Bach's D minor Chaconne (2nd violin p... | |
| Why does most new music suck? The Ellington quote reminds me of another--Townes Van Zandt (allegedly) said "there are two kinds of music: the blues and zippity-doo-dah." | |
| Why does most new music suck? Mapman, another way to say that is that the Beatles music spoiled us to the point that we have no use for most of today's music. It's partly a matter of quality. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Bdp24, as a burned-out Beatle lover, my solution is to turn to the alternate takes, demos, etc. on the Anthology (6 CDs)and to the BBC sessions. And for some reason I almost never tire of the LP "A Hard Days' Night." | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced Mapman, I agree. I own one of the brands Jafant mentioned and after listening to everything else available locally I thought they were a bargain. Different strokes and all that. | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" Why presume to know, or even have an opinion, about something that we simply do not know (i.e., the origin of it all)? At this point no one knows. I do find more comfort in science than in recent or ancient superstition. | |
| Your First Concert was..... Bdp24, do you recall who was with the Beach Boys? They often had great openers. | |
| Does anyone else think this When I make changes in my system I rely in part on the ears of my 28-year-old son. He can hear well in every sense. I like to think that when he has the bucks he'll invest in a good system. We'll see (of course, when I was his age I had gone throu... | |
| How important is bass to you? Yes, too much bass would be bad. That's why you tune your subwoofer frequency and volume. I never intended to suggest that the bass should be in excess of a natural sound. | |
| How important is bass to you? My speakers (Dynaudio monitors) are listed as going down to 40Hz. When I added a subwoofer I was surprised at how different the sound was for frequencies above the low bass range. Voices went from slightly thin and metallic to very smooth and natu... | |
