| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Vertigo - I think most people reading this thread will understand that you have misrepresented my comments. It seemed to me that you were clearly implying that I and everyone else disagreeing with you don't know what we are talking about, that our... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Vertigo wrote (among a great many other things): "..make a recording where all things are equal from your perspective(ie, your ears/the mics... are both 2ft from the bass and 5 ft from the drums and directionally the same)and play it back on a sys... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Hi Mapman and Vertigo - first, Vertigo, if I misunderstood part of your post, I apologize. I am often reading and typing on here late at night when I am tired after a heavy concert, as I was last night and again now. That said, Lacee is correct. I... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Vertigo said "I would venture to guess that some very good system's are as good as or extremely close to the live event to the point where the differences are negligible. [blindfolded]." Absolutely not. In fact, depriving one sense heightens the o... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Please don't give up, Frogman! Let me try to continue your argument:Emotional expression is of course very important in music. But let's take Frogman's example, a beautiful melody being played with no sense of time. Rhythm and meter are the basic ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? That's right - you tell 'em, Frogman! :) | |
| Christmas Music and Audiophiles? Haven't read the other responses, so sorry if this is a repeat, but there is a nice CD compilation from Blue Note called Yule Struttin' Christmas. | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Atmasphere - thank you, thank you, thank you. Most people can indeed hear digital artifacts just fine, when they have a decent analog system to compare it with. Many musicians like myself have been trying in vain to convince people of what you are... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Nice post, Frogman. I would agree wholeheartedly. I am also thinking that the phenomena you describe are also a good answer to a question that has been discussed on this forum quite a bit lately, namely what is PRAT? Too many audiophiles think abo... | |
| Best AV receiver if I also want very good music? The Marantz is a good choice, I also know that in the past, Harmon Kardon made some very good sounding ones, I used to use one. Don't know about their current production, though. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Lloydelee21, have you ever tried Laphroig? Lagavulin next door is also one of my faves. | |
| Why not horns? Gotta love Altecs! | |
| Do you use variable speed on your turntable? To add to Halcro's post - most American orchestras are actually playing at 442, many of them stating this to their applicants when they have openings. The San Francisco Symphony and the Pittsburgh Symphony are two current examples. In Europe, the ... | |
| Recordings with BASS This depends on what you want to test about the bass. If you are looking for how well your system reproduces the sound of live, acoustic bass-register instruments, then a great thing to use is the opening of Wagner's opera, Das Rheingold. | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Kbarkamian, you are most definitely correct. I have known personally several orchestral musicians who were fired for drug or alcohol abuse. |
