| Still the demons of GAS pursue me The later version of the Rane, ME 60S had more features and is sonically colored compared to the original ME 60. They are both 30 band, 1/3 octave EQ ranges, so much flexibility from 20-20kHz, boost or cut by up to 12 dB. I go from source to Ran... | |
| Still the demons of GAS pursue me Eurorack, I am delighted to comment, after being bored for several years by a-philes who cling to the dogma of audio purism. I am a violinist with lifelong experience listening to the sound from my seat in the 1st violin section in orchestras on... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers thx best, I don't know the Rythmik products. Servo controlled is another factor. Theoretically, according to Doug Blackburn, I would predict a servo 12" would still integrate better than a servo 18". But it would be an apple/orange comparison ... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers ditusa, The article by Doug Blackburn is absolutely correct. The "speed" heard is not from the bass. It is from the accurate reproduction of midrange and HF overtones of the bass fundamental. Smaller bass drivers extend up to the mid bass and sig... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video Another perspective. Go to a live concert of unamplified music. For me, I want maximum clarity/detail. Only the 1st row center will do. 98% of the other seats are sorely deficient for what I want in the sonic realm. You should enjoy the live ... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... frogman, Your analogy of pointillistic artists actually makes my case, haha. The semi-random points provide lots of detail at close viewing, but they don't make much sense until you move away and then can see what the real picture is. The dista... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... Have you been to Preservation Hall in New Orleans? I was there in 2005, a few months before Hurricane Katrina. Before going, I had visions of some big concert hall, but I laughed when I saw that it was the inside of a cave with walls of rocks. ... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... A mathematical definition of detail is the sum total of information at all freq. Musically speaking, it is perception of the note fundamental with all the added harmonics, or multiples of the fundamental freq. Since further distance has the main... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... It is telling to come back to the original poster who started this thread, mikeydee. From the front row of Heinz Hall, he still was mesmerized by the acoustics and dynamics. So the front row offered so much, not just the details of the front vio... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... Interesting points about the Sibelius violin concerto. The opening minute or two is very soft and dreamy for the orchestra, with the soloist a little louder so it is still dominant. Orchestra and soloist are playing together in the appropriate b... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... You may like the sound in the balcony and from your speakers, but this is a bit of an apples/oranges comparison. Depending on the music, Telarc recordings employ a mix of close mikes and distant hall mikes to capture hall ambience. Some recordin... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... Also, do you know the 1967 Turnabout LP of the Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances, Dallas Symphony conducted by Donald Johanos? The 3rd movement highlight is the crackling brass fanfare near the end, culminating in cymbal and tympani crashes. This wa... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... frogman, Ah, now I understand you better. Your references are bass clarinet, saxes which are middle and lower midrange/midbass instruments, as opposed to the violin, which is midrange/HF. Lower freq instruments gel at greater distance, and are ... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... frogman, Violin concertos are carefully scored for orchestra realizing the inherent SPL limitations of a solo violin. For the great concertos, the orch is reduced to pianissimo when the solo violin is playing. When the violin soloist takes a br... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... Mischa Mischakoff was the most esteemed concertmaster of the 20th century. He was with the NBC Symphony under Toscanini, and I love his solos on those recordings. When he retired, he was with the Detroit Symphony. I visited him in Detroit in 19... |
