| Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album Well, it is very well recorded, though of course that isn't unusual for her albums. But if an audiophile is looking to test or compare components, I could see why this album might be in the rotation. In terms of the actual material, it's not my f... | |
| Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy??? I do like to gain insight into the designers of the components that I purchase, and how they approach their designs, even if some of the details are technically over my head. I have also made a couple of major acquisitions without the benefit of a... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Frankie Beverly (and MAZE) Kristin Asbjornsen (great singer, i would say, but some would find her voice to be grating!) | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Total nonsense.....You are not listening to what was recorded....You are listening to everything between what was recorded and your ears..... I can’t believe you are continuing to defend this foolishness..... But its your right and I appreciate t... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @rbertalotto You're missing the point. The poster made a very poor analogy. But I have also previously linked to a speaker video that is very well recorded, and does indeed give a good feel for the quality of the component. Of course a fair com... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! It is all noise, nothing but....just like with pictures and colors on your monitor. lol! Never mind that professional photographers use their (yes, typically well-calibrated) computer monitors to process and fine tune their images prior to prin... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? You’re welcome. First, I have a low media sideboard between the speakers, and a large flat-screen TV on the wall. Neither are optimal, but with some movement of the sideboard away from the wall, there was a small improvement. For serious listenin... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? Hi @weebeesdad It just so happens that I can offer some insight into your situation. I recently moved into a newly refurbished old house, and while the room in which I listen is decent sized, I have no choice but to place the KIMS along the long... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? In case anyone is interested, I have now owned a pair of KIM for several months, and am very happy with them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! | |
| Not a good week for Drummers: Fred White, Earth, Wind & Fire drummer, dead at 67 My favorite band when in HS/college in the '70s. Great live shows, as well. RIP | |
| Another cable question I use a Kimber KS 2120 AES/EBU digital cable to connect my Aqua La Scala DAC to my C.E.C. TL-5 CD transport, and am very happy with it. They are above your budget new, but perhaps in the ballpark used. I have a very revealing system, but there is... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Apologies to all! Because the Wolf von Langa videos are "back-to-back", I somehow posted the same url for both in my initial post. This is the one that demonstrates the field-coil drivers so well - please give it a listen! Wolf von Langa field c... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Yes, we can easily decern over the internet, the cry of a lion to that of an elephant......But Higher End HiFi gear....PLEASE!!! @rbertalotto I have provided links to a graphic demonstration of (well-recorded) sound emanating from high-class,... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Its not about bit rate… its about the recording microphone being used and the playback equipment on the other end. No way on Gods green earth can anyone accertain anything from these videos. The first sentence is the key point, but the second i... | |
