| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? Agree about Fleming to a certain extent. But ’luck’ often happens to folks who know how to look for it a recognize it even if it wasn’t the exact ’luck’ they were looking for.As far as over compressed audio, again, I agree, there is no conspiracy.... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Still no call or check. Wife went back up to local UPS store. They called the higher ups again. They have all the information and will have a check out within 5 days. Mind you, we were told we would have a check by last Friday. My wife who is fore... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? There is a very fine line between use, abuse and recreation. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. This morning came and went. No call about the check. Can't say I'm surprised. Once again feel like I'm getting the run around.@northman (the "@" function never works on this site), I don't know what UPS's policy is on what happens to the damaged i... | |
| Chris Isaak - Baja Sessions CD. Sounds better than it should. I've been streaming Beck's Morning Phase. Never heard it before. Really like it. SQ of streaming is okay but bass gets muddy and boomy.On DR database average DR on CD is 6. You have to try to screw something up that bad. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Good point! | |
| Chris Isaak - Baja Sessions CD. Sounds better than it should. My Oppo is the BDP-105D and I’m assuming it decodes HDCD because it flashed “HDCD” on its screen before the CD started. @cd318, in terms of DR my ears are pretty happy at anything above 12. If you sort the DR database from highest DR you can find... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Yep. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. My wife went back up there. The local manager said that she did not know why it was taking so long and called the higher up again. Couldn't get her on the phone (which is what happened every other time as well). This time she persisted and finally... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. My wife (not an attorney) is saying the same thing. I get caught up in the principle of things and sometimes end up tilting windmills. Sometimes I think if more people were willing to fight this sort of thing that the offending parties would be mo... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. I have heard that that might be true. Right now I’m not sure how long I have to wait to do even that. As a reminder, this was not my amp. I am selling this gear for my wife’s aunt, a widow whose only child passed away. It was his gear. This money... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Update: UPS is giving us the run around. They filed the claim on Aug 14. They have the damaged amp back in the local UPS store. They said we'd have a decision and a check within 10 days. We checked back several times after the 10 day mark and were... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Morning Phase - Beck. Popped up as a recommendation in Amazon HD. Not what I was expecting. Never listened to Beck and know nothing about him other than the one song he had on the radio years ago.This is a nice album. Seems well recorded. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @uberwaltz: Did you survive the trip? Haven't heard from you in a few days. I've had the same experience in the lower back. Miserable stuff. Even worse when you need to be working. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You. First album by this Texas trio. 2015 I think. Thai-funk ambient echo-chamber psychedelic mood groove lounge music recorded in a barn in Texas.Just got the CD. Shocker here. NOT OVER COMPRESSED! I can't sa... |
