| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Reopening the case, Fagan competes with himself and can't win that one as he keeps sounding like Donald Fagan, but I think the album (CD) sounds great sonically with layers of funk buried in there, and I like the fact that all the songs have indiv... | |
| Frequency Response Music is made up of a lot of frequencies that by themselves (like a 20khz test tone) may be inaudible, but because it's music, they have a large effect on the sound. High notes can have higher overtones that sweeten the tone overall...most likely ... | |
| Acoustics and chair I already suggested the dentist chair so please, lets not over-suggest here. Another tip...let your hair grow out in the back and you have a built-in sound absorbing system you can take everywhere. | |
| Acoustics and chair Along with seating choices, it's important to note that your facial expression can have a profound effect on sound...try various expressions like ennui, horror, open or closed mouth (this is very tooth dependant..."extreme overbite open mouth" wil... | |
| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? I always maintain the perhaps unrealistic attitude that gear, especially things without moving parts, should never break. Is "Chi-fi" actually more breakdown prone? I would think that could be true if the quality control part of the process is fla... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Based on the evidence presented herein, I rest my case. | |
| Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna? I worked with Lori McKenna (soundman...shows in Maine mostly) a few times both before and after the Faith Hill discovery. I mean really...Oprah! She was part of the local (New England) scene of some amazing but obscure singer/songwriters in the "u... | |
| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? Yeah...the dealer seems like the proper path here.I've also experienced the "lost Canadian week" when I bought a minor thing from Canada...gets stuck at the border it seems. | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Note to self: The oddly insecure can be VERY sensitive to sarcasm or "Teen Wolf" soundtrack references, possibly triggering tropical partnering fantasies. "Beach Boy...get that dude his meds...he seems ominously troubled." This thread reads like a... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Oh no...SARCASM! I forgot that Palmer was the first black president...I did like "24." As a vocalist for Steely Dan (a little over 40 years ago) Palmer's been pretty much relegated to trivia for most listeners as he has a somewhat forgettable voic... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Sunnyjim...clearly you have your own taste (!), but I fully expect everybody to agree with me all the time about everything, including you. Don't let me down...I'm very sensitive. I do have to note however that Fagan and Becker are all Steely Dan ... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos I get the same "it's sterile but cool" reaction at first listening to anything from these guys and I've found that opinion always changes for the better as I warm up to it. "Condos" may or may not wind up as a fave, but I think the larger point be... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos What about Kamakiriad? Kidding...but it is interesting how these guys compete with themselves...I suppose that's a good thing. Becker's "11 Tracks of Whack" has maybe had more play from me than nearly anything these guys have produced, and it rare... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Morph is a great album (except to sunnyjim and my gf) and usually only engenders criticism among those comparing it to other "Dan" stuff...a useless but understandable exercise especially relative to the mountains of crap released in the pop music... | |
| What causes microphonics in a tonearm? I stuck my "used but clean" Linn Basik/Akito on a light but stable table by itself...as the instructions instructed (after initially ignoring said instructions and learning they actually know what they're doing). The resut was as predicted, and ha... |
