| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." I think I have a fair idea notwithstanding @orpheus10 ’s comments. I worked as an outside lawyer and did a considerable amount of work in the music industry-- mainly music publishing but a fair amount of work for the labels, major and minor-- as a... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Very few musicians create and survive because of the industry, they do so in spite of it. Some of the great "record men" like Mo Ostin, Ahmet Ertegun and Chris Blackwell, to name three, were able to run a business that fostered some great music.To... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion @bdp24 - i heard that system a few times with the original big Tympani panels. When I bought my SP 3 and Dual 75a back in the day, the dealer demo’d the units I bought on just such a system. And I got to meet William Zane J in the early days as we... | |
| The most important factor in soundstage imaging @n80- I think part of it is the context of the board, which is gear centric. No disrespect intended, since many of the contributors here are well established,knowledgeable, etc. I was stuck in "audiophile land" for decades, listening to what I now... | |
| The most important factor in soundstage imaging Before we get all technical, and deal with speaker design, placement and room treatment, the beginning, for me, is the recording. I have many different copies of the "same" record; some sound flat and lifeless, others have dimension. That's not th... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion A very large system in a small room could be problematic. Why is that controversial? Celander, I'm not trolling you here, but I'm curious to understand your perspective. Care to share? | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion @celander - your last post suggests that you don't believe imaging exists in a reproduction system. I don't need "test" recordings to establish what I hear. It is a "real illusion" to me, that depends on the recording. The Bose example is interest... | |
| Advice on compensating for hearing loss I assume you’ve visited an audiologist, given the hearing aids. Although shunned by the high-end crowd for years, an equalizer might make sense. There are some good ones, albeit at a price. Perhaps some folks who use them can weigh in-- one area o... | |
| Odyssey MKV RCM owners, I have a question I hear you. I’m a big advocate for finding non-audiophile solutions to audiophile issues. The Monks is very Rube Goldberg in its design, but it works. I would have purchased the Odyssey if it was still being made at the time I got my Monks. Good l... | |
| Odyssey MKV RCM owners, I have a question cool. Albert is a good guy and that was a good suggestion to reach out to him. Good to have the info- let us know what it takes to fit into a Monks. I'm hoping mine is good for a while, but you never know....regards,bill hart | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion @tostadosunidos - but if the performers are positioned front to back, and the recording captures that, it should be reproduced. I can hear such placement and it is not the result of mixing left or right- | |
| Odyssey MKV RCM owners, I have a question here's the Monks parts list which shows an Austen pump head rebuild kit:http://keith-monks.com/spare-parts/Mine was rebuilt- the main thing it needed was a fresh diaphragm - the rest was tubing and fittings.I'll try to reach Syntax for you. You mi... | |
| Odyssey MKV RCM owners, I have a question Sorry to hear that, Seth was kind to me. He was more of a phone guy than an email guy as I remember. I did spend some time with him, both on the phone and at his studio. (He's a pretty well known archivist of old historic recordings, among other t... | |
| Do MC's Need Time To Wake Up? That Jan Allaerts MC-1 cartridge is a pretty rare bird. Enjoy it.With a cartridge that has settled in ("broken in" sounds so drastic), I find that it takes at least a couple of sides for it to limber up and show its stuff. I’m currently using a br... | |
| Odyssey MKV RCM owners, I have a question Dunno. Did you ever try to reach Seth in NY re the Monks? He probably knows about pumps, i think the one in my Monks is a German pump. |
