| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Sorry about the double post!I don't know how it happened. | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Very fair, indeed.The times when it sounds real don't happen as often as we'd like so one must revel in the throes when in its presence, knowing it's fleeting at best.More wine?All the best,Nonoise | |

| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Clear as an unmuddied lake, clear as a sky of azure blue (loved A Clockwork Orange). Very few recordings go for the real, live event. Even those that are sold as live.All that mixing and effects introduced to what the engineer, artist or label is ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Understood.I've read where Steve Hoffman stated that old master tapes that were made off of tube equipment cannot be simply remastered with silicon based equipment. It will not sound right. Various types of software has to be used. And it has to b... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Great conversation we are having here.May I add this?This neutrality we are talking about, ie: the absence of audible inaccuracies, be it captured at the live event, at the recorded event, or at the listener event (our system), can be ascertained ... | |
| Marantz Restoration Sorry to hear about the negative feedback on the site I recommended. There's this guy in San Diego: http://audiocraftsman.com/ that I got off of this site:http://www.fmtunerinfo.com/.You can poke around on the fmtuner site (there's also a forum li... | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 As I changed my system, I passed up on an old pair of Clear Day cables to try something else without keeping them in. Almost two years went by. Big mistake. In another thread I relate how they and a pair of Mapleshade Helix wires, used together (b... | |
| Acoustic treatment for apts Do you personally know a good, high end dealer that works nearby?They might have the time to come over and give a quick assessment. You sound like you're half way there. They might see something that's eluding you.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd I also read that the latest Beatles release that was so highly touted as Hi Rez is merely a 24 bit remastering of the master tapes that was down converted to 16 bit.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_(The_Beatles_album) see Remastering sectionThat's t... | |
| Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd There's this about HD Tracks:http://www.itrax.com/Pages/ArticleDetails.php?aID=32And I thought the 'butterfly effect' had only to do with random, unintended consequences, not intentional ones.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd A lot of times the artist has a say in just how 'loud' he wants it to sound and that can impart a negative. He/she wants it to grab your attention in this sea of competing artists.Also, a lot of the times the wrong 'master' tapes are used. I've re... | |
| Budget USB cable? You can get a Pangea USB cable for about $30, down from $100, and it sounds the same: good enough.All the best,Nonoise | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? As has been pointedly pointed out, live music is the reference for all things audio. Hopefully, during the recording process that live reference is adhered to.Once the recording is made, it becomes, de facto, the only reference we have.Keeping tha... | |
| Some old cables rescued me from computer audio. Jejaudio,That seems to be another common theme in the cables that seem to work for us (and others) which is a minimal dielectric or sheathing that minimizes the skin effect between the signal carrier and the protective cover. Air seems to be the b... |
