| 45 Singles You Just Had to Buy When I was young with no capacity for downloading individual songs, I loved going to the record stores and scoring old 45s of songs I really liked but by artists whose full LPs I had no interest in owning. Used CDs back then were still likely to b... | |
| Which MM, MI, or Hi output...Nagaoka 300/500, Clearaudio Maestro, Soundsmith Carmen Peter Ledermann (Soundsmith) is a really good dude. Everything I’ve seen/heard/read from him tells me he really knows what he’s talking about and is just a good human. This is an opinion to take or leave, YMMV. The Clearaudio Maestro MM V2 a... | |
| Get 'em while you can! @bdp24 I think Smiley Smile is great, even if it was a watered-down, hastily-released version of what Brian was really after. I prefer Smiley Smile to Brian’s Smile LP that came out about 20 years ago. Those Smile Sessions that came out a few ye... | |
| Get 'em while you can! Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. IIRC, I have an old copy of Endless Summer that sounds surprisingly good. Album-wise, I suppose I’d like a good analogue copy of Beach Boys Today! or Pet Sounds. Never owned one before. I have a so-so m... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? Yeah…digging into the history of early TV music and uncovering the actual, physical results of embryonic overdubbing…good gigs, to put it mildly! 👍 | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Pardon my eschewing the “binary code” of the question, but my answer is: A final product (overall sound quality) that makes me forget all the silly frettin’ and fussin’ and fightin’ that my fevered, obsessive, perfection-seeking mind engaged in. ... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? @whart Gotcha. Thanks for the response. Archival preservation and library science for “music stuff,” or strictly “law stuff,” or both? The former sounds like a pretty cool profession to me. | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? @whart Seeing that you’re a retired copyright lawyer who is really into music, I’m wondering if you have any opinions on these famous cases regarding copyright infringement in popular music. I consider the “Blurred Lines” case from a few years ba... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? What’s extremely funny is that there are people who think Gutfeld on Fox News is a funny “comedy” show. | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? It’s not that sharing one single personal anecdote wherein a female companion was uninterested or even repelled by fancy audio stuff is sexist, it’s that thinking your solitary personal anecdote could come anywhere close to justifying this silly o... | |
| Chicago 1967 - 2023 The Chicago IX: Chicago’s Greatest Hits LP shows how great they were in creating completely palatable, accessible, unpretentious pop music that was still very musically rich and sophisticated. That’s not easy to do. I loved that stuff as a kid... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? No one should actually listen to music on a phone speaker. I’m not even saying that as a musician and audio nerd. As a human. Living in society. Don’t do it to yourself, and, for the love of all things holy, DO NOT subject innocent bystander... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... I’m at the show to experience the piece. Both composition and ensemble. Perhaps the prioritization of detail over cohesion is beneficial for smaller ensembles. I bet the up-close, “wow, I can hear that one small part extra clear” thing is grea... | |
| Musico-audio experience I fell into audio obsession by accident. Never cared at all in my teens, 20s, or early 30s. Long story short, I ended up down the rabbit hole. Years later, I’m finally out the other side. I’ve accepted that for a multitude of reasons I am ... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? preposterous, gross generalization. “Why are 99% of audiophiles sexist and sexually unappealing to women?” There. I can do it too. |
