| All Kit are Band-Aids If orchestras tuned to 441, CDs would sound a lot better. | |
| Is it all in my head?? All of reality is in your head, so, yes, it's in your head. | |
| Why so many wilson alexias for sale Too fatiguing to listen to over the long haul. | |
| Bright or Dim? With the lights off, soundstage depth opens up even more. If you're looking at equipment, equipment racks, the drywall, wall hangings, whatever, however much you concentrate on the music, your eyes are telling you that those things are right ther... | |
| All Kit are Band-Aids Shouldn't it be 441 Hz, scaling down from the 44.1 kHz? | |
| Since my sabbatical I can't believe it's a sound investment to put any money into the CAL, because the transport will give out sooner rather than later, and then it will be unusable. Better to invest in something new(er).So general advice w.r.t. that and other compo... | |
| Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it? Yes, some people from Tannoy split off and created it in Scotland somewhere, with local government development support, on the occasion of one of the times that Tannoy changed hands due to corporate/conglomerate horse-trading. | |

| Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9 Those two models are designed to compete directly with each other, from companies that compete with each other. Think Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry. D9/D48, D7/D30. Likewise, Spendor's Classic line is in a similar competitive pairing with Harbe... | |
| Bass audition for your system.... @n80 Pictures at an Exhibition was originally composed for piano. It was subsequently orchestrated for full orchestra. The link is to an organ adaptation--I presume based mainly on the piano original. There are notes there that will make your b... | |
| Bass audition for your system.... Years ago, the go-to CD was this organ recording.https://www.amazon.com/Mussorgsky-Pictures-Exhibition-Stravinsky-Petrouchka/dp/B000001Q80 Try it! It'll give your woofers a workout. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @testpilot Take a look at the Isotek Synchro EVO3. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados If you're in the mood for a really stirring, Liszt-ian piano concerto, try Henselt on Hyperion. Hamelin is also one of my favorite pianists. |
