Establishing a common analog listening bias

I guess I've completely misread the whole intent of the OP. After reading Dertonarm's response to my last post three times, I still don't know what he/she is saying. If this is just going to be one person saying "On side 2, four bars into the 2nd movement there is a buzz three chairs down in the violin section." and then someone else chiming in "You know nothing about system set-up so your hearing is invalid" or "Any fool could tell that's not a buzz in the violin section; it's the second chair French Horn clearing a spit valve." then I guess I wouldn't be interested in participating.

Thank you all for suffering a Philistine in your midst. I'll be on my way now . . .

Tubetan :-)
I don't think you are a Philistine but 'projecting forward', our most valued Western thinking 'planning' genes kicking in.
Why not try to 'go with the flow' and see what materializes.
I guess there will be some to come of what you mention --- but there may be something useful also, I'm sure.

Just hang loose and try to avoid getting into some 'self fulfilling prophesy'. And you might find that bit of useful information you didn't even know to ask?
Greetings,
Axel

Well Tubetan, you completely mistook the point.
Its all about a "common language" - a "common ground".
Its not at all about bugging the other with this or that detail in sonic reproduction which might be there or not.
However - I am not on a mission and would be happy if at least a few A'goners do find useful idea in this.
Lyndon B. Johnson once said: "better have them inside the tent peeing out, then outside the tent peeing in".
I do not concur.
If you can't see any point for you - fine with me.

Nirvana - Unplugged , this is a record that will remain.

Axel although the Lateralus is available on HDCD I still like the Undertow album, slightly unpolished and raw, not the sound though, and the first four songs are amazing!

I forgot Alice In Chains - Unplugged, almost better than Nirvana - Unplugged
