| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” A great experience listening to a stereo system is moving. A great experience listening to live music is once in a life time. | |
| Question about sound stage I like your system. Must sound very good. I have the Silversmith ribbons too. Excellent! And I have the exact same problem. Also on the right. Now that I think of it relative to your right leaning issue, I think I have the answer. About 20-30% ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Listening to Kendrick’s “M.A.A.D City”. There are comparisons to “To Pimp a Butterfly” but it pales in comparison. So far, it just moves from one musical line to another more like other Rap. However, it does add some spoken dramatic sections. ”Bu... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” Apples or oranges. Of more like apples or apple pie. An electronic recreation of a live event, no matter how advanced, can only be that: an electronic recreation. Sure, when good electronics, one can think of a live event but it will never be th... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @simonmoon As said in my OP, Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a 🦋 Butterfly” is as sophisticated musically as any music I know. The musical themes evolve and develop including a brilliant rhythmic rap and sound effects that create “deep and broad emoti... | |
| Bit the Dollar and bought headphones. I am delighted with my ZMF Verites. They are made to order and take several months. Check out the reviews for the Verite Closed. I have the open but most are focused on the closed. For $2500 I think they can stand up to ones costing much more. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @audiocaseevan I just listened to a couple of Kendrick’s videos and want to buy that album that was on the Billboard charts for 400 weeks. Think that was something like M.aad. The little that I just heard was less complex than “Pimp” but still ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? But hey, I too am happy that this thread has not devolved into some quasi political diatribe. This is what happened to my several past attempts to start a thread about my desire to understand and enjoy Rap. Just read that Kendrick Lamar is going ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Hey Jerry! Is your coded verbiage the way you post on other threads? Do you have any intention of plain speak any time now? Maybe I am square but I find it impossible to follow your coin of phrase. Is this your way of Rapping? Non capisco… Al... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? asvjerry Appreciate your post but have no idea of what you are saying. Can you reiterate in more a more understandable manner? I am sincerely interested in what you are trying to say. | |
| Mark Audio 12P Full Range...An Amp question I built the Pensil enclosure for my Mark Audio 12Ps. Believe they are 91db and a flat 8 ohms. I drove them with 2 watts of 45 SET. Actually very nice. But 100 watts surely will be better. I would not worry about damaging the drivers. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Just checked 2Pac… disappointed. I see that he sold 75 million records worldwide. Surely, can’t really hear what an artist is like only hearing a few minutes of 1 song. But in checking out recommendations of ones to hear, none have the creative ... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? I take back what I said about Leenalchi. Heard the other cuts on their album. Kind of like traditional Korean chanting/Rap. Blah. But Tiger is Coming is brilliant. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Eminem raps with some attention to pitch although, so far, is boring. Can’t generalize, but, so far, the Rap I have heard is pretty much the same. It does seem that, for me, ones who pay close attention to pure musical/tonal elements are most in... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Only one CD available for $34 that ships from Korea. Leenalchi. I bought it. And there is something on EBay for $134. “The Tiger is Coming”. On YouTube. Fantastic! Check it out… There is one other video of them that is more pure Rap but still v... |
