| The truth about why modern music is so awful. I tend to agree with most of what the man said, although I personally think the Beatles are over-rated. It is, I'm afraid, the steady march of commercialisation of everything - food - music - you name it. Instant gratification is the unfortunate n... | |
| Tidal and MQA @anotherbobSo you're saying the MQA was better than 44.1? Interesting - so are you saying this applies to streamed music? did you do a back to back with your actual CD player?I am still baffled how it is that digital replay can be so different - I... | |
| Best Retailer Youve Done Business With? Best store - Audio Emotion - superb trade in deals - no faffing around - very efficient. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I recall an article - It's all about thee music article in HIFIPLUS years ago and thought what a total load of crap - otherwise we'd all be listening to £20 Walkmans or MP2 players.As you invest more in a system and its' connection to you, you pri... | |
| Impressing friends with your rig @elizabeth Your comment makes me think of Spinal Tap - the band with the loudest reputation with volume level 11.I must say that most people who do listen think its 'all about the bass' but then they realise it is the enveloping 3d sound staging a... | |
| Tidal and MQA I have started some tentative steps with tidal - I just wanted to see the music that it had that is available. I was astonished that it had some great rare groove music that is hard to get hold of on vinyl so it has me hooked. That said at present... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) I think the OP is asking about detail - not necessarily the most neutral/accurate (Harbeth)What's your amp. If its a flea powered amp - then you need an easy load such as an Avantgarde Horn - but by the same token very sensitive speakers pick up a... | |
| Help me - am I stupid @mzkmxcvasas as to the 10 second thing - I think we are at cross purposes. Simply put there are certain cues in analogue that I find red-book just does not do so as to make the music listenable - it never truly feels relaxed. I always wonder if cd... | |
| Help me - am I stupid Funny thing I find with Digital vs analogue is that with Digital you keep listening albums end to end whereas with digital you seem to skip - and its not just a matter of ease of skipping.I went to a fascinating talk by the Editor of Stereo magazi... | |
| Help me - am I stupid Well guys - I am a vinyl man - but am getting sick and tired of the continuous price hikes for every decreasing quality of LP's - so I bought a decent CD player that had the DAC input option - it's a cayin CDs 55T.One of my other questions that bo... | |
| linn sondek tt The LP12 is like the broom in 'only fools and horses' - I had the broom for 30 years - I changed the handle 20 times and the head another 30 times... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? @max53 I totally agree with you about vertere - I needed a cheaper interconnect than the lavardin ones - recommended these from John at midland audio exchange for £160 - better than the lavardin - | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? Have you considered doing tests using room eq wizard first | |
| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 I am watching this thread with great interest, because I have a very similar question to pose. My beloved NS1000m Yamahas are overpowering my 'cave in the loft' (albeit fully soundproofed) - proven by the fact I plugged in some Beovox s45's and th... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? @billstevenson totally agree.Let's live in a world of: Gruel; protein shakes; Ladas; grey brickwork and without hills and landscapes.Because why bother?? |
