| Film Scores @erik_squires Possibly The Dillards, when featured on Mayberry RFD but that's a TV series and not a film. The Cohen Brothers are I'm certain, very aware of the musical aspect to all of their films. | |
| Film Scores @frogman I do know the 'Lieutenant Kije Suite' but wasn't aware it came from a film. Also, “L’ascenseur Pour L’Echafaud” is something I had heard before and appreciated but had forgotten about. Thanks for reminding me. And I'll I'll look into the ... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 I will then stay open to adding a sub at some point. Unfortunately right now, the amount of space is limited not to mention the cost involved. I never understood why people add only one sub when they use two speakers. | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 Sorry I confused your post with jdub39. The frequency range of the Quads are 32Hz-21kHz(16dB) 28Hz-21kHz (useable). And I've never been a fan of adding a subwoofer to an electrostatic speaker but if I did, I can see where a DSP would he... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 I’ve had this system in three different environments and only needed to treat one of them. Currently, I really have no need for treatments but may consider some things just out of curiosity. The biggest advantage has been carpet under t... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @mahler123 I am using an ISO Regen that has been an asset to the digital front end of my stereo. | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @pwerahera Alright, you don’t hear what I hear. But I have to wonder how much ear training you’ve invested in? And whether you grew up attending concert halls to hear large orchestras, vocal recitals, chamber groups? I am around professional music... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @bdp24 Thanks, is there a website URL for ARK recordings? I looked but I’m not finding what I think you’re referring to. I have to expand a bit on my post. When I buy CD’s (yes I still prefer the archaic CD unless it’s a DSD download) I research ... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @onhwy61 What you’re saying makes the most sense. I’m just surprised that there is such a difference between how ensembles are mic’d and that recording engineers don’t recognize the lack of separation themselves. | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @audphile1 Most of my files are from an SSD, local rather than streaming. I prefer Manic Moose to Roon where sound is concerned. Actually my point of comparison comes from live venues. Hearing music in a good sounding concert hall. This is where I... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings @audphile1 I don't have warm components. The post should pertain to the inconsistencies regarding orchestral recordings. Some are great, some are poor and there's a lot in between. Here's a list of my components; Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC. Bryston BDP ... | |
| Phil Lesh Last time I saw Phil Lesh was at ‘Fare Thee Well’ in Santa Clara. He made some announcements regarding his liver transplant and being an organ donor. As a musician, I can’t think of another electric bass player that played harmony and counterpoint... | |
| better wood for a plinth @lewm Similarly, the old practice of using a rubber profile between TT chassis and wood plinth is now frowned upon I assume you would include the Herbies isolating washers between chassis and plinth as well. Honestly, my plinth looks great and so... | |
| better wood for a plinth I built a tiger maple plinth for my table. I used Herbies washer between the plinth and the turntable chassis. The washers are in each corner. This combination works very well. I would recommend the washers, regardless of which type of wood you de... | |
| Pianos My fascination is with a number of pianos that were local to Eastern Europe. Long ago before the current war in Ukraine, I was spending some time in Odessa. I saw pianos I had never heard of. My friend who I was staying with had a pre Soviet pian... |
