what do you base "should be" on?My experience shows considerable improvement in the "sweet spot" window when we align properly. Things like sibilants become much more natural. The "improved" uhf makes my hf more effortless. The sense of space seems m...

When we are babies, we don't know much, but still have an IQ higher than a carrot. We crap in whatever we are wearing - smart parents choose diapers. We reach a point when we cry when the diapers are full and get relief when someone else changes our ...

The Vittori does not suffer, neither do their owners. Who needs time alignment anyway?Well that loaded question has a simple answer - only those that really care about things like time alignment "need it". They most likely would not even consider the...

If we look atbthe history of "american" folk music, we see a specific trend. Spirituals with a religious source became Gospel through urbanization - and got a commercial orientation. What about town bands, company bands and the like? how many peo...

Do any of you have one single greek symphonic recording? I know it is not fair to compare commercial success with artistic, but at the end of the day, recordings ARE a big part of the life blood of a performing ensemble.When we add purpose to the lis...

Jeffery has done some interesting stuff and I am interested if he shows how a system with this generation of horn is implemented. Because they are both out of different woods, I assume that these are first prototypes....

I recorded the LPs (Bruckner7-TeDeum Concertgebouw/Haitink, Also Sprach Zarathustra Chicago/Reiner - 1954) to digital. Then I lowered the stylus on to the record, but did not have the turntable turning. I played the digital copy at a bit more than my...

There of course is a ton of garbage on the net about the sound quality of a DAW with WLAN vs gigabit ethernet, analog or digital power supplies, memory, manufacturer of hard drive, active ports.I have primarily only really invested in lowest noise an...

It took me, even as a classical trumpet player a long time to warm up to Bruckner. I really didn't have a specific event that let me get it-it was more like a labor of love with the score and letting the music play in my head. If I were to pick an in...

Rowuk, I very much on the same page with you. I
do not buy the idea that piano could "ruin" sound of those Tanoys
like it was in the case of my guy above or that it makes too much resonance in
case of orchestral /ch...

The only issues that I have ever had were putting the piano in a place where the large smooth surfaces did not cause assymmetric reflections that messed with the stereo presentation.
The damper pedal on a piano is "on" when not d...

Romy,you are very right about the piano being what it is. Piano players ALWAYS comment the action and response of the keyboard initially. The feedback from the instrument to the player is always tactile first. I am convinced that a concert pianist on...

The really serious piano players I know either ignore it or buy a different piano. I have NEVER worked with a pianist that tried to make a piano something it currently wasn't. I think that when you are obcessed with your playing there are no syna...

I personally think that the legacy of Amar Bose was discovering how many "needs big box" factors could be left out and still have the products perceived at "of high quality". Bose is very popular with musicians, for all of the sonic shortcomings it s...

It is amazing that not even basic attention is paid to how our ears and physics work. This is more like a concubine, just there when you want a physical orgasm.With all that real estate, they could have at least time aligned the speakers................

Perhaps the tubes with the swastika could be used ONLY for music written or played by persecuted Jews. Another "just" cause would be the so called "Entartete Musik" of Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Webern, Hindemith and Toch. I like the idea of ART winning...

I agree with the notion that with age our tastes change, I also listen to and perform a lot of classical to baroque music, mostly with historically correct instruments and with attention to different temper.I do not consider Bach or Vivaldi any less ...

I can't speak about the most expensive audio - I don't have the means or experience. I do play trumpet however and there is a similar situation:My trumpet cost $13,500. Professional trumpets usually have prices between $3,000 and 6,000. Comments from...

Any type of charged project needs a plan so that everyone involved knows what needs to be done, when the proper people will start and when they are done.I see no possibility to set up speakers in one working day - even bookshelf speakers need knowled...

Finally I have found a place where I don't need to know anything about quality playback, no hours, days, months, years of frustration searching for the holey grail of audio bliss. Now there is a site to go to where ALL questions are answered with a f...

I think that we need some standard interfaces on our playback gear to log operating parameters. Temperature, Gm, current, voltage. On loudspeakers maybe temperature/impedance, for digital playback I would like to see jitter, correction, transcoding e...
