| Wall St. Journal article Finally heard a song off the new Metallica album today. In a word the production was TERRIBLE. As I listened I instantly knew exactly what people were referring to when they said it was too loud. If the volume was up enough to get it to the approp... | |
| Cary 303/300 or Musical Fidelity A5 with Mac gear? I'd go with the Cary. I haven't owned one but every time I've heard a Cary CD player it sounded suprisingly good in the system. I've heard them sound great with Krell. I have Mc gear myself and I'd go with Cary or Rega if I were buying another CD ... | |
| Universal Remote for Dummies I found the Theater Master MX-500 to be one of the best designed products I've every owned. In any case check http://www.remotecentral.com for info about remotes.http://www.remotecentral.com/mx500/index.html | |
| Article in WSJ about compressed dynamic range Of course. And the listening situation argument doesn't hold water with me. I was listening to my car stereos in in the vehicles I've owned since the early 70s and the music never sounded as crap as a Foo Fighter, Nirvana, Metallica, Green Day son... | |
| Wall St. Journal article In an email even the recording engineer says "it's something I'm not proud of." He had to backpeddle after it was posted to a forum but still said his sentiment is the same and that he could have said it better. If you take one look at the wavefor... | |
| Saw My Morning Jacket a few nights ago Yeah, that's the thing.. MMJ sound great live. OTOH, their recordings, while they have their moments, are not anywhere near the live experience. | |
| Ripping CDs to lossless in Itunes.. HiFi approved? I would rip to a format that's not controlled by one company. Flac for example. | |
| Proac, Spendor or Quad 22L's has anyone compared I'm familiar with all three and unless you go to the very high end Proac's, then I prefer the Spendors. Quad's never have done much for me. | |
| Best sounding Krell ? I think Ayre and Krell are light years apart in sound. If you've been listening to Krells with Bat tube Preamps for the past 10 years, I would expect you think most other amps especially some of them to sound a bit lifeless. Krell is as lively as ... | |
| NAD: Old -vs- New NAD's pretty much like Musical Fidelity - once they shipped production offshore, they became an also-ran. | |
| Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters? I think the Fleetwood Mac Rumours album produced mostly by Lindsey Buckingham sounds fantastic. One rarely sees an artist who is able exercise such restraint - especially a guitarist. | |
| When Streaming, is 128kps good or not so good? I pay the extra $2.99 for 128kbs. It all depends on if you listen to Sirius a lot. I've had Sirius for 4 or 5 years and have become pretty familiar with the channels so it's a nice little library of genres where you can listen to whatever you're i... | |
| Leon Russell Yeah, Carney was a favorite of mine as well. Haven't listened to it in 30 years though. | |
| Confessions This evening, I listened to Simple Red's "Stars" album and thought it was well-recorded. I'm not admitting to being a fan though. Have only listened to the disc about 6 times in 15 years but just put it on today (the Transporter makes it easy to l... | |
| Best sounding Krell ? The Krell sound is not for everyone but I do know one thing - they are built like tanks. I saw a dealer literally drop a 400Xi from about waist level onto solid concrete. The Krell chipped the concrete and there was barely a scratch on the corner ... |
