| Modernists Unite, or: saying no to room treatment Well, I don't think we're answering the right question. In general I agree with Kal because I favor musical REcreation (hearing whats on the disc) over musical creation ( which would occur if the listening room is altering the sound in any meaning... | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? Well grannrig I'm stumped. I guess I'd have to hear what your hearing to be of any real help. What ever sounds best to you is all that counts. - jim | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? Grannyrig, No sub has a brick wall filter causing it stop producing sound at an end point like 40hz. I don't know your sub well but it likely either has a 12 or 24db/octave filter. The cutoff frequency is usually - 3db. Add to this ALL sytems have... | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? I think that almost all music systems benefit from stereo subs IF they are integrated properly. This is due to several factors imho. First they generate air movement which is not necessarily generated even by full range speakers. Second " full ran... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. He's not. That was my point. | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Whoa whoa whoa. Bird is the founder of HARD bop ? He with Diz and Coleman Hawkins helped create BOP ( playing with the bridge from Cherokee) but HARD bop ? Foster: I love Miles too. Matter of fact I listen to him A LOT. But I'm with Wynton M. on t... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Nicotino: I also think things came to a peak with miles smiles. However, for me I truly understand Ben Websters sadness when his (my) type of music was out of vogue and he didn't get to play with the kind of players he used to. He didn't play with... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. I'm definately NOT calling 1957-1967 " definitive" in any sense. Newbee, it should be noted that Ellington in his own time was accused of not playing "true" jazz. The head to " take the a train" was criticized for this as were his long format piec... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. He may be refering to the introduction around this time of free jazz where the melody was lost in favor of harmonics and free expression. Louis Armstrong would agree. Following free jazz was the begining of pop instrumental masquerading as "light ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp Compared to my old Ref 3 it has tighter bass and plays complex demanding passages more cleanly. I guess I would call it more " precise". To me it was worth it but some might prefer the Ref 3's darker character. - Jim | |
| Amplifier Experience Gryphon Pass Lamm BAT I combine ARC Ref 5 with Gryphon Antileon signature and feel they work great together. - Jim | |
| Gryphon Antileon Signature technical problems I have owned mine for 6 years and have not had a single problem. Until your post I have not heard of a single problem from any other owners either. I wonder if the amps you mention were manufactured around the same time and were built with a fault... | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 Just for fun I recommend reading Romy the Cats site and his views on the Magico mini, the Model 6 and the Magico "press" in general. It's hilarious. Start under general audio. | |
| Sub s for Dali Megaline system Thanks Jim for reminding of something I forgot to mention. A filter in a sub which rolls off frequencies below a cut off value can be a very useful tool. The more octaves a driver has to cover the greater the inter modulation distortion of that dr... | |
| Sub s for Dali Megaline system Well, aldavis was working and unable to respond. 24 hours in a hospital over Thanksgiving makes me grumpy so I will try to repond as kindly as possible. Instead of "guessing" I actually measured the response in my room in which I also measured Rel... |
