Modern Linestages

When I attend live performances(unamplified jazz groups) they consistently sound rather,full,rich,round toned and yes warm. Even when they play very fast tempo music it`s still very full bodied and preserves a sense of ease and density(same is true of classical music programs).

Charles1dad,

Quintessentially, this has also been my observation. Personally, I advocate a closer examination of the recording process and what it yields.

Start a power cord thread and I've seen more peace and harmony in an Oakland Raiders parking lot after a game. :-)

Onemug...that was hysterical! I recall going to Chargers/Raiders games that featured more action in the stands than in the game - LOL ;-)

Best,

Sam

Sam I see where you`re coming from, nothing wrong with that approach to system building at all. We all choose are own way to musical joy.

Mitch4t and C1ferrari,
glad you appreciated the humor.
In this day of acronyms, I find it interesting that "OR" can stand for either Operating Room or Oakland Raiders. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Looks like it's been heading southward from my 8-23 post.

Lately I've been dividing my attention between Irene and this thread. One is a phenomena that is wreaking havoc, upsetting people and causing a lot of anxiety. The other is a hurricane.

Thorman: "The Manufacturers operate at a Mark up of 500%...Thats the reality of it....."

I suppose that's true from one perspective, and I've heard that parts cost typically is only about one-SEVENTH of the RR$.

But do understand, first, that the manufacturer is lucky to get 1/2 of that retail price, and then labor, plant overhead, customer service, administrative costs, product-development costs, and last and only last, profit have to be covered in that wholesale price. Lots of hi-end-equipment manufacturers are NOT profitable and eventually die. Certainly some hi-end manufacturers are profitable, but to blab with no apparent understanding that equipment manufacturers operate on a 500% markup is simply idiot.
