| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? For me it all depends on the quality of the original recording, and the quality of the remasterings into the different formats. The skill of the dudes/dudettes in the control room conquers all. I have some superb sounding compact discs. More of... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music I'll get heat for this, I know, but this fellow fiddler gets a kick out of the tone gotten from his Nola Boxers. They certainly don't deliver true under-the-ear intensity, but that's actually a blessing. It's more of a three-to ten feet away sen... | |
| What did you make for Christmas? Great project! As for me, I was happily on my hands & knees on the lawn, pulling weeds. | |
| What album have you bought in the most different formats. Ziggy Stardust. US LP. British LP. SACD. None of them blow me away sonically. | |
| Frail and Bedazzled I've gotten to the point where I just don't care if I'm listening to vinyl or digital. All I care about is putting on something I feel like listening to. Maybe I want to listen to some Tchaikovsky (I have a true weakness for the guy). Maybe I'l... | |
| thumb drive for source? I'll put a thumb drive into my laptop and route the laptop to my Mytek Brooklyn. Sound is just fine, if definitely of mid-fi mp3 ilk. Wait a second! Is it because most of them are mp3's in the first place????? | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Frogman. I love your post. I got to say, though, that I've always found that my like vs. love selections do seem to change over time. In other words, sometimes you can be too picky. | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? I only stick with the musicians/vocalists/composers I love. It isn't enough just to admire them. Music has to do more than just cater to my frontal lobes. For me, art trumps technique every time. I got to say, too, that cool & controlled as... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? mahgister -- Love your post. A true attempt to argue that meaning can indeed exist within a piece of music. | |
| What if any, is the difference between a band or a group? A combo is a small jazz group. | |
| What if any, is the difference between a band or a group? yogi boy -- I think you got it spot on. | |
| Power Conditioners I had a PS Audio line conditioner and, yes, stuff sounded fine when I had my components plugged into it. One day about two or three years in, though, the thing heated up and started to smell bad. I hurriedly replaced it with a generic power strip... | |
| music: religious experience or background noise? I exult. Given half a chance I let music carry me away. I'll happily pick it apart and then let it enchant/assault me as a whole once again. I'll focus the parts of the listening experience that are most enjoyable in each live performance or re... | |
| What if any, is the difference between a band or a group? Just vocalists...it's a group. If there are musical instruments involved, it's either a band or a group. | |
| Original Nola Boxer Replacement, Maybe? I love my Boxers. They've essentially taken me out of the market. I also have to say that though in theory I wouldn't be against trying something new, I now live far enough away from any high-end retail stereo outlet to make even a cursory auditi... |
