| Melody Gardot coming to Philly Anyone who poo poos Absence has the taste of the Philistines :-)(with all due apologies to Philistines, present and past)I'm a bigger fan of her two earlier works with her take on what would be considered standards if not for the fact that she pen... | |
| Sound Exposure and Potential Hearing Loss I've been painfully aware of hearing loss since I've gone shooting as a youngster all those years ago. And to think of the concerts of the '70s and '80s still make me wince. Like Glenhifis post about our youth, I tremble a bit when some fool pulls... | |
| Melody Gardot coming to Philly Yes, thanks indeed, to Devilboy for the post otherwise I would have read about this long after selling out. All the best,Nonoise | |
| Laying it on the line I thought he was just being funny but I think lots of things are funny.Funny that.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Melody Gardot coming to Philly Donjr,I just revisited Gardots site and lo, she is coming to L.A. on 9/22!!!The best I could get were mezzanine seats 3 rows from the edge of the balcony since presellers bought out all the great floor seats. Ticketmaster was good enough at $65 a ... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? It sounds like we are victims of the times. Not everything is keeping apace and older formatted music is not sounding right, all the time, on modern equipment. I like Hoffman's story about trying to figure out how to get Hotel California to sound ... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? I don't think Steve Hoffman was referring to the tape hiss from the original recording. That could be somewhat masked, but not entirely eliminated. What he referred to was the difficulty of taking an original master and getting it sound right on m... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Well, there goes that theory.I hear an ever so slight hiss or veil (for lack of a better word) on my Kind of Blue CD as well. It's a Columbia/Legacy SBM (Super Bit Mapping) recording. I've read where Steve Hoffman said that older masters from tape... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? There's one more thing I'd like to add to this and it's from another thread about believing in magic. It's in the last paragraph before the last line.http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-122756.htmlThis lead me to ask if you hear this ... | |
| Laying it on the line Bigkidz,It seems you and your friends are going the route of Burson Audio. They started out just tinkering and building for themselves and friends and concluded that op amps (like your capacitors) muddy up the sound and went to hand built, discret... | |
| TEAC PD-H600 CD PLAYER HOWS IT SOUND Larrybigbird26,I just wanted to let you know that I changed out the ICs from the TEAC to my amp and it was so much better that I stopped listening to my iMac.Sorry to hear about the faulty unit you received.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Laying it on the line What Trelja said +2.Don't take this wrong but your friendly rant (and I mean it in the best way) leaves me to doubt that you're satisfied (or can be), and that you've heard something good enough to call it quits for awhile. You've heard great gear... | |
| Melody Gardot coming to Philly I am so jealous. The last time I checked, she was only touring in Europe. I'll have to see if she makes it to L.A. as I think she's one of the greatest out there in the here and now.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? If I got this right, the equipment is the conduit and the music is the signal. That signal can sound cleaner depending on the equipment. One familiar enough with a recording can discern a lower noise floor using the same signal (music) while compa... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Whart, that makes a lot of sense and explains why I liked my old Hornshoppe Horns knowing that the highs weren't as extended as they could be and the lows weren't as authoritative at they could be. My mind filled in the rest since the greater aspe... |
