| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. Reread the original post. My first reading of it must have been pretty cursory. Sorry! Strangely enough the original poster would want to go back to mono and I am suggestion that what is needed is multi-channel. Sound staging and imaging are real ... | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. I tend to agree with Shubertmaniac and Detlof: the visual cues in the live music experience are the most significant factor is helping to localize instruments and voices. I also agree with Sean that large ensembles will invariably be squished and ... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Ok so I won't compare her to Ella, but please don't compare her to Joni Mitchell. I don't really like Joni Mitchell, but feel that her talent dwarfs that of Norah Jones, even looking back at what she did at the same age and Joni can paint to boot!... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Who is more deserving? Try Susan Tedeschi. | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? It shows how bad things actually are. I bought the Norah Jones CD about the same time I bought the box set of the Songbooks by Ella Fitzgerald. At a used cd shop, I swapped the six individual songbook cds I had and topped up my generous offer with... | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. A very valid point is that made by Stuartbranson: all the senses work together so that, ultimately, there is nothing like the live experience. Most significant is the visual aspect. Another good point IMHO is that the missing ingredient in home re... | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. I fully agree with you. What is missing in sound reproduction in the home is the sense of acoustics found in the venues where music is played live. Most folks here firmly believe that this can be achieved with stereo. I think that multi-channels s... | |
| Power cord? Why? Eldartford, I may be interested in that bridge in Brooklyn, but first I have to buy Viridian's open mind. Maybe, in between the two, I will mortgage my home to rewire right back to the Hydro-Québec generating facility in search of the absolute sou... | |
| Vinyl manufacturers don't stand behind product? Vinyl record making must have died and gone to Heaven, because when it was all that was around returning poor pressings (you name the defect they had them)was a regular occurrence. Now TWL are you saying that they are all perfect? My oh my! | |
| What is DC offset and why did I blow my speakers Oh the joys of turntables! Sean,nobody talks about warps and feedback these days, just of liquidity. The analog turntable: when everything is right, the planets align and the moon is holding water, it sounds better than anything elso on God's gree... | |
| Turntable Shipping? I would try to secure original packaging from the manufacturer. No shipper will honour a claim if the manufacturer's packaging is not used. Even when such packaging is used, there is an uphill battle almost every time something happens in shipping... | |
| Tube Preamps under $1000 used I have an Audio Research LS 8 Mk 2 that works great in my system, I miss a balance control though. You get ARC build quality in a no frills package: just right for this audio cheapskate. Besides, the lack of a remote control is good for the waistl... | |
| Classical Music as Relics for easy listening Although the Canadian wing of the Republican Party, called up here in Canada the Canadian Alliance, since the Refoooorm Party and its nasal leader did not fare too well in uniting the right (there is a God!) would rather see the American Way trium... | |
| Chair or Sofa? Which do you use? Sonically it does make a difference, as does all the other furniture in the room. I would suggest a sofa, if the room is not otherwise stuffed with soft, cushy furniture and drapes and things. The room's acoustics is a factor way more important th... | |
| How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs? I'd rather be cooking than lawyering. Can't boast about my talents in the kitchen, but I am know past the half century mark and started cooking around the age of five when my widowed mother would leave me with the housekeeper and, in my neurotic w... |
