Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
How do you know if it is the recording or your system?
By way of example with a focus on bass, for some songs I like the amount of bass, then another song I feel like it needs more bass to hit harder, and then another song I feel like there is too much bass and it is boomy. Does that ever happen to you? I feel like I am getting the treble sorted out, but going back and forth on the bass.
Can anyone listen to the first 20 second of the song Temptation by Diana Krall from the Girl In The Other Room album and let me know if there is a bass component that is a bit much? The vocals sound good so no issue there.
Thanks.

I set my sub to blend using my cd of "Eddie Gomez"....on the Denon label. This is my reference. Cannot keep readjusting to every other recording I have. When I listen to the MUSICIANSHIP, which is 1st on my priority list, everything else falls into place. I listened to LZ IV last night, cranked to the optimum level (every recording has an optimum level), and I was just jammin’ to them boys. Yes, my system conveys all of those qualities I listen for, and then some. Could not be happier. I have tried eq, but prefer less electronics and cabling, as I hear the negative impact it brings to my ears. Obviously, ymmv. My best, MrD. |
Thanks, @toddalin , come to think of it, I do remember losing a bidding contest on ebay for that SACD remaster. I am afraid that I am a tad OCD, and at the time I saw that, I thought it would be nice to have a "audiophile" copy of Yellow Brick Road that was closer to the double LP format that it was originally released as. And I still would rather have it in a two CD set as opposed to all on one 76 minute disc, but the things I get OCD on come and go and now I don't feel as strongly about that particular one. Out of curiosity, how does that particular SACD remaster sound? |
