Great stuff @midaref1 ! I'll probably be going down that road in about a year from now...let's see if it remains in the number 1 spot at that time.
Now it's time for you to just enjoy your music!

10" self powered sub-woofers.....
@ doctors11 I guess this count be a 4 - 5 month report card on the ML. Final install was with the 90 degree RCAs from Audioquest and a 9' run of Blue Jeans Cables LC-1. Will consider changing the LC-1 to Straighwire Encore if a nice used 9' pair ever comes up on fleebay. Probably would not be able to hear a difference anyway but would like to see, but not for $400. Integration finished up nicely with the hand off to the 8" woofers in the Acoustats and their subsequent handoff to the panels all seamless. Just various instruments playing what they play from low organ and double bass/fiddle all the way up. Familiar pieces with new notes to be heard on the bottom. Zero regrets looking backwards on this one. |
Nice to hear your entertaining journey in the deep end. As a Double Bassist I'd suggest another Patricia Barber interpretation from her twenty seven year old MoFi 45 RPM release of Cafe Blue's "Ode To Billy Joe." Popularized by Bobby Lee Gentry your guests will be sing-along familiar but slapped in the face with the fidelity of Jim Anderson's microphone placement and his unique mic pre-amplification recording of Michael Arnopol's instrument. The gain on my DD Plus' is almost off for the LP recording. And of course, anything from the White House Bassist Christian McBride, is a lesson in the importance of intonation and time. Speaking of intonation, young talent Lorraine Campert. Scroll down the You Tubes. https://www.thomasmartin.co.uk/instruments-for-sale/old-double-basses/james-cole An ear opining example of post production decisions or capitulation can be clearly heard on most any system or TV with 'McCARTNEY 3,2,1' currently on Hulu. Rick Rubin and Paul McCartney discuss many of the groups writing influences. Using what seems to be original recordings and a like for like board Rubin lays bare the level of control of McCartney's Bass lines and the productions masking of some of the most 'to die for' Bass tone and technique that never quite made it clearly on their releases.
