| Does It have to be loud? Isn’t the assumption that you should demo for the typical SPL that a listerner would hear were she/he attending a live show?By that standard, MBL (which typically demos louder than anyone else I know of) doesn’t go loud enough. They often play ele... | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE Invictus - right you are, I missed the small m in the first term. Since you can hold the distance of counterweight to pivot constant by increasing the mass of the counterweight (and nothing else changes), you would need to add the required increm... | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE If I’m reading the equation correctly, Z is an independent term that is simply added to the calculation after being divided by three. Since you’re only concerned with the delta here, calculating the change in effective mass is (I think) pretty str... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I’ll go with "favorite" rather than" best" and "pop" rather than "rock" and "rhythm section" rather than drummer. This band has my favorite rhythm section ever and is just one huge, organic rhythm machine:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jeCeoMCMn84I... | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? Amp output goes to the speaker. That portion which generates heat is lost to compression. To one degree or another, it's always present. | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about QSound was an ambience processing technology that produced recordings with very dramatic sound staging/imaging. Roger Waters "Amused to Death" featured some good effects and Madonna's Greatest Hits Collection was even more dramatic. They did a b... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile I don't pretend to know what's going on with you, your wife, and your system.....but I'll second MarqMike: Lots of musicians are apparently deaf to reproduced sound. I deal with musicians all the time and the variety of their reactions to the sam... | |
| Pat DiNizio, lead singer of The Smithereens, R.I.P. Completely agree. I just put together a treadmill play list. A Girl Like You was a featured song. Pat D will be missed. | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Whart,i was was responding to Inna's post, not yours. | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano One more note, plus caveat.One poster was dismissive of digital piano recordings. I disagree. The odds of getting a good result are vastly higher with digital recording, IMO. My home studio isn’t set up for an acoustic piano, but I’ve been to comm... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano If you’re willing to bust the budget (big time) and live with a limited selection of recordings, there’s a "right answer" here:The diskclavier system, which retrofits to a piano. Effectively, you get a disc-driven player piano. I think the system ... | |
| $3,000 Planar Speakers I've heard the ET extensively and like it a lot. At one time I was considering a purchase and spent a fair bit of time in front of a pair. In the end, I preferred small Maggies with a pair of Rythmik subwoofers. If you get the xover nailed (I c... | |
| Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology) I use a pair of 12" Rythmik subs with little Maggies and they integrate seamlessly (to my ear, anyhow). I use Audyssey to effect the xover and add room correctionThe hybrid LF8 presents a different (lesser) challenge given the cone bass driver, ... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Shout out for SnackeyP on Chicken Shack. I love the combo of Christine McVie's vocals and Stan Webb's guitar.I'd add Zachary Richard to the list. He's a Cajun musician who plays across a great many styles and often sings in French. His early l... | |
| Don't You Just Love It When... The Replacements song, Alex Chilton"Children by the millions sing for Alex Chilton. They sing...I'm in love. What's that song? I'm in love with that Song.I never travel far without a little Big Star."A GREAT song IMO. |
