The color of audio and ambassadorship
Booya! Rok2id nailed it. 
Blackness - how quiet does it need to be?
Whart,I think I see your point: system noise floor is independent of whatever is playing.And until something is playing, you can't really judge or appreciate it. Dense, that I am, I still believe that a system such as yours (and I'd like to think ... 
Blackness - how quiet does it need to be?
Whart,I think your "A. If i have that right..." explains your "D. But having said that...".You were correct at "A" .If I understand this.All the best,Nonoise 
The color of audio and ambassadorship
I've tried the route of ambassador and was eventually recalled.It was mostly a ceremonial post with no chance of advancement (of others).It's been odd out man out ever since.I think I'll skip the memoir.All the best,Nonoise 
Music that everyone else loves but you just don't
Rap.Country.Most Pop.Oldies in permanent rotation.Classic Rock in permanent rotation.Anything KROQ plays in their rotation. It's been over a decade since they lost their touch.I'm amazed how anyone can still listen to any of the older stuff like g...

Melody Gardot coming to Philly
Thought of this just as I posted: Wouldn't it be nice if she did a cover of The Girl Form Ipanema? 
Melody Gardot coming to Philly
Anyone who poo poos Absence has the taste of the Philistines :-)(with all due apologies to Philistines, present and past)I'm a bigger fan of her two earlier works with her take on what would be considered standards if not for the fact that she pen... 
Sound Exposure and Potential Hearing Loss
I've been painfully aware of hearing loss since I've gone shooting as a youngster all those years ago. And to think of the concerts of the '70s and '80s still make me wince. Like Glenhifis post about our youth, I tremble a bit when some fool pulls... 
Melody Gardot coming to Philly
Yes, thanks indeed, to Devilboy for the post otherwise I would have read about this long after selling out. All the best,Nonoise 
Laying it on the line
I thought he was just being funny but I think lots of things are funny.Funny that.All the best,Nonoise 
Melody Gardot coming to Philly
Donjr,I just revisited Gardots site and lo, she is coming to L.A. on 9/22!!!The best I could get were mezzanine seats 3 rows from the edge of the balcony since presellers bought out all the great floor seats. Ticketmaster was good enough at $65 a ... 
Blackness - how quiet does it need to be?
It sounds like we are victims of the times. Not everything is keeping apace and older formatted music is not sounding right, all the time, on modern equipment. I like Hoffman's story about trying to figure out how to get Hotel California to sound ... 
Blackness - how quiet does it need to be?
I don't think Steve Hoffman was referring to the tape hiss from the original recording. That could be somewhat masked, but not entirely eliminated. What he referred to was the difficulty of taking an original master and getting it sound right on m... 
Blackness - how quiet does it need to be?
Well, there goes that theory.I hear an ever so slight hiss or veil (for lack of a better word) on my Kind of Blue CD as well. It's a Columbia/Legacy SBM (Super Bit Mapping) recording. I've read where Steve Hoffman said that older masters from tape...
