| HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO? @hilde45 PLUS ONE | |
| Interesting videos about sounds and music @mahgister - you may be right, but what does education have to do with liking or not liking jazz? As for hating music, I agree - I don't see the point; people can listen to what they like and avoid what they don't - it's not difficult. People lik... | |
| Burn in vs perception @ozzy62 - in your case, I'd say both the amp's electronics and the tubes need breaking in; in my experience, tubes mostly sound at their best after at least 100 hours. You've probably got a good bit of improvement left to look forward to.... | |
| Somewhat of an oxymoron - speaker stands for the floor for bookshelf speakers. Different speakers are designed for different stand heights; while there is indeed a 'rule of thumb', there is no 'one size fits all' best speaker height for all standmounts. For instance, I've got a pair of Martens that are very high on their sta... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. @mahgister + 1 - as soon as I see 'all' or 'no' in regards to some category of items like 'tube amps' or 'ss amps', I dunno - just doesn't make sense to me. | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? Doesn't bother me and I doubt I'd be able to tell; these are not quizzes or tests, just music that one either enjoys or does not. | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. What does 'correct presentation' mean? | |
| Two questions to make you mad. They didn't make me mad. 😄 | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. It would depend on who is doing the 'considering'. I wouldn't worry about it too much and just enjoy yer tunes.... | |
| Speakers versus Balance vs Amplifier @hickamore - most hearing aids have multiple programs, or different EQ settings, for different circumstances. This will be given names, sometimes like 'music' or 'hi-fi' or some such. How accurate the names are remains to be seen or heard. Whichev... | |
| Heavy Vinyl Speakers Corner from Germany makes some excellent all-analogue re-issues that look completely authentic; I got their versions of BOC's 'Tyranny and Mutation' and 'Secret Treaties' and they are superb. They don't sell direct, though - you have to b... | |
| Heavy Vinyl @tablejockey - 'Second Winter' was on 2 LP's - one side of one LP was blank. | |
| Heavy Vinyl @vair68robert - A tribute to John Fahey? I didn't know such a thing existed; that must be quite the endeavor - I'm trying to imagine how you'd 'interpret' John Fahey without being him! I will look into this, thanks... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? I do know what sounds better to me. I do not know how true it is to what the artist, the producer, the mixer, and the mastering engineers laid down, as I was not there for any recording sessions so cannot make a comparison. | |
| Has Anyone Else Listened to Carina Round? I wouldn't have thought there would be vineyards in Arizona - maybe that's why it was terrible? 😁 |
