phd,
"How about this one, if you reverse your cabling they will play the music backwards."
You are late to the party. We already have one directionality expert here.
Hey, that’s what phd stands for! Paul his dead 😱 I can’t stop now!
CAN WE AUDIOPHILES DO OUR PART?
So we're all tired of hearing about nothing but Covid-19 (or, as I term it, the C-Plague). What can we do, as audiophiles, to help with all this.
I was amazed, and delighted, when I went to the Cardas website to see that they are doing their part. Go to their website and you'll see their director, Angela Cardas, wearing a mask. If you click on the Cardas Nautilus logo in the upper left corner, you'll see pictures of people there in the factory making masks with sewing machines. I called the company to congratulate them, and spoke with a woman named Darla, who said it was their way, during this economic slump, to keep their employees working and also their way of trying to "do our part."
I'm not writing all this to advertise Cardas products. They are a very good company, but trust your ears, not anything I write, when it comes to buying their products. They do get credit, however, for helping me come to a realization that pushed me in the right direction. I called a woman I am friends with, who is 85 years old and is a good seamstress, to suggest she start making masks. She already was--and is. By phone she has organized several other women to do the same, and right now they are needing more material and elastic. I managed to gather about 50 pounds of material and am starting to gather elastic while also getting more material. But I don't sew. I can't help out with that. Any ideas as to what we--all of us who are good with our ears and focused with our budgets--can do to help out in other ways?
I realize this is an odd topic to bring to an audio forum, but it was a very socially responsible audio company that got me to thinking about it, and frankly I believe I should be socially responsible enough to do what I can to get other people to thinking about it. While also being open to other people's ideas about ways someone like me who is "just an audiophile" can help.
Thank you, in advance, for any and all ideas on this.

cal91 If you like him, and i have no doubts about that because his playing is natural and effortless like Rubinstein, but his sense of color shades is almost unsurpassed, buy his Nocturnes version... Very good sound recording and for me the best version there is, especially after the first one hundred listenings, you know why? Because when someone listen the same melody forever, there is some weariness that will point his nose at some times....But with Moravec pianism, playing each note like if it was the only one note, like a star in the sky, you will never be tired... You will not hear the melody first, like you hear with all other pianists but you will be entranced and hypnotized by each chord, like if 2 or 3 meteors fell from the sky.... And who can be weary and tired by meteors showing? Or blinking stars? The melody will be there tough like the sky is there for each star.... |
Chet Baker play his soul and forget trumpet....I like him much.... You are right about"chet", it is one of his many best.... I like Bill Evans because he play also his soul first, and forget piano...Two brothers i think they own the same playing....Because of that they are in a class of their own, without rivals.... They always sing and never only play....Most other plays very well and sometimes magically, but singing is very difficult, you need your soul, and the best hands and fingers there is will never be able to sing.... Only the soul sing.... I am a bit partial, i like some artists so much, that they erase all the rest....Happily i know more than a few... When i was young, someone ask to me if i liked music? I answered no...I love only Bach and it is music no more.... :) |
