| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art roxy54, the issue is not in-your face or laid-back perspectives. These are crude ways of describing the musical experience. Music is a form of communication in addition to being a visceral experience. If one wants just visceral pleasure, any wa... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art @fleschler, right. The only exception is if you are lucky to sit very close to a small chamber ensemble in a small room. In summer of 2005 before Hurricane Katrina, I went to Preservation Hall in New Orleans. For $6 I got to hear a jazz band fo... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art @fleschler, I currently play violin in a small orchestra in a church. Vocal soloists are on a small stage near me. It is thrilling to hear the soloists and my fellow orchestra players at a close distance. There are no ambient acoustical effects... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art @jsalerno277, I am a violinist whose reference for detail, natural timbre with accuracy of freq response is my seat in an ensemble such as string quartet, trio, piano/violin duo. 25 feet distance away from a string quartet is too far away if you ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison stuartk, Good background. I don't know where you live, but for decades in NY, radio station WQXR has had the classical countdown before New Years Day, starting about 1 week before, from about 8 AM to midnight. It was the top 100, but then it be... | |
| Six DAC Comparison stuartk, Allow me to help you develop appreciation for classical music. You have great potential to enter this fabulous world, since you already appreciate its abundance of melodic and harmonic content. I'll cure you of boredom with a short 4 m... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Thanks for your reply. I have the original Benchmark DAC 1. Reviews said the DAC 2 was warmer and more "musical" than the 1, and the DAC 3 was getting back to the DAC 1 tonal balance. Actually, don't laugh, I prefer my old Sony CD player alone ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Regarding the attributes of pristine clarity and detail from low freq to high freq, do you rate Tambaqui as objectively superior to the Benchmark? I am not asking about your subjective preference. I value maximum information retrieval. Thanks. | |
| Enigmacoustics Sopranino I don't use measuring instruments. As always, listen and experiment. | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! mahler123, Your last post is the most relevant on this thread for me. You may remember me as a violinist, classical music lover. Take your experience with Richter and Bach Well Tempered Clavier. Go further, try to find a particular recording o... | |
| Still the demons of GAS pursue me The later version of the Rane, ME 60S had more features and is sonically colored compared to the original ME 60. They are both 30 band, 1/3 octave EQ ranges, so much flexibility from 20-20kHz, boost or cut by up to 12 dB. I go from source to Ran... | |
| Still the demons of GAS pursue me Eurorack, I am delighted to comment, after being bored for several years by a-philes who cling to the dogma of audio purism. I am a violinist with lifelong experience listening to the sound from my seat in the 1st violin section in orchestras on... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers thx best, I don't know the Rythmik products. Servo controlled is another factor. Theoretically, according to Doug Blackburn, I would predict a servo 12" would still integrate better than a servo 18". But it would be an apple/orange comparison ... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers ditusa, The article by Doug Blackburn is absolutely correct. The "speed" heard is not from the bass. It is from the accurate reproduction of midrange and HF overtones of the bass fundamental. Smaller bass drivers extend up to the mid bass and sig... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video Another perspective. Go to a live concert of unamplified music. For me, I want maximum clarity/detail. Only the 1st row center will do. 98% of the other seats are sorely deficient for what I want in the sonic realm. You should enjoy the live ... |
