| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings This is not a problem that is ubiquitous; it affects perhaps a good number of recordings, but certainly not all of them, and to varying degrees. From which I conclude that it has to do with the various recording conditions: the space, the mikes, ... | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. Not only do people do this:https://www.soundandvision.com/images/EBTB-Venus.jpg but they even go out of their way to do something like this.https://youtu.be/I0-xgJCOAy8 | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store What I think this shows is the erosion of the function of B&M stores. Before the internet, that's where you went to see, check out, and hear (!! what a concept) equipment. If you liked what you heard, you started to think you might buy it, a... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? @prof You need to have experienced true enlightenment first (bodhi or satori, in all seven factors) before you can hope to begin to understand the three embeddings. And as we all know, the absolutely most important things come in groups of three. | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Dynaudio. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings DGG quality varies over time. Remember that DDD was already a thing by 1980. Besides a slow, long learning curve, there's also the quality of the ADC being used to consider. It was *early* DDD DGG recordings that were the worst offenders. | |

| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store @smer319 So, just how much is said fee? I believe the OP never received clarification on this point. | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. Surely a flat platform with a filament at each corner would work, kind of like a child's swing, only don't push it! Blu-tack speaker to platform. | |
| Springs under turntable @lewm They're way ahead of you!https://www.bidsquare.com/online-auctions/skinner/studio-brushed-steel-rocking-chair-1416477 | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? DACs should have switches (kind of like the equivalent of different RIAA curves) that compensate for different genres of music. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @northman Excellent observation!! Mix-and-match subs, but the orientation in the socket of the after-market fuse is absolutely crucial. | |
| Main Audiogon site barely works? How long is shortly?Sunday 9 am: tried twice and got a page 500, whatever that is. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Leonard Cohen: Live in Dublin. 3 CDs. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings It's well known that Karajan was a particularly enthusiastic early adopter of digital recording and the CD. He make pronouncements on its superiority to anything achievable by analog technology. And like I say, given the dubious quality of the e... |
