The thread specifically started with the subject of dynamics - not limited to any one type (I do disagree with the principle of macro vs micro dynamics, as understood in audio as live they are never exclusive of one another - it is possible however t...

As I originally posted, audiophiles would like a convenient term for something that relates to moving air. Unfortunately it is not that easy.The noise floor for events with substantial acoustic output is much higher than other types of music. Even 10...

I had a business lunch this week at an upscale restaurant. They served some german specialties like I never had them before. With each bite there was a "taste explosion" in my mouth - but none of them wasted my tongue, so the next bite, the next cour...

Oleg has a lot of bad press in Germany for unkept promises and defaulting on delivery of product. Just keep an open mind next to the open ear. The best product only serves a purpose if it a) arrives and b) performs.I really like the things that he th...

Hi Paul,the Casals recording more than any other one that I have heard has a sense of musical direction. Expressions lead to the next, you never have to fill any thing in. If I were to compare what he does, it would be to the best orators at the Roya...

[quote user="steverino"]I'm sorry that I am not on the wavelength that you wanted to use with this thread. With respect to your examples, yes it is good to try to play music in accordance with the attributes the composer expected, including the frequ...

"many tuning geeks today still find that [equal] temperament loathsome."Of course tuning geeks don't like equal temperament. And of course a capella musicians will settle into just intonation if they can get away wi...

Musicians CAN'T adapt is one of the major points - especially when a keyboard has a central role....
|

I read many comments about the sound of recordings and firmly believe that much of what we believe is "technical" is not - rather influenced by the creative process on the other side of the microphone. Preferences in tuning system as well as pitc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I always was under observation that musicians use different techniques - they do not listen played back music but they rather register the pointers to keys and intervals and then they reconstruct in their consciousness the ...

I guess I would like to be able to do something better than anyone else - and still be better after 100s of years.....My take is a bit difference. When I perform with players with a Stradivarius violin, it isn't the violin that is impressive - up clo...

I think the problem starts when we short circuit the process. It is easy enough to sell "the Best" of anything and still get mediocre results. If we are looking for a modular approach to DSET/speaker, then the results are also best guess because ther...

[quote user="steverino"]Well of course they are Not reproducing a drum at twice live volume they are merely playing a recording of a drum at higher volume. If you analyzed the wave form it would Not be the same, just louder. It would be distorted. Th...

If I went to a Ferrari dealer and "kicked the tires", they would ask me what I am doing there. In the audio world, there are a lot of people "listening" to the Magico that are not doing anything else except kicking tires.Why the dealers/reps feed tho...

[quote user="steverino"]But the prospective Magico owner needs to know whether the Magicos reproduce the real Taiko drum closely enough to scare and demoralize all the JDs in the neighborhood. It's like those recorded barking dogs that homeowners use...

I have heard the Taiko drums. They were used instead of church bells in ancient China - that sounds very fitting in this setting. Later they were "exported" to Japan by the Buddhists where they were used by simple fishermen and farmers as an alarm si...

Some of you probably know Jack Bouska, I didn't find any links to his system here at GSChowever. He documented the technical steps that led to his system in a very detailed way. How his methodology relates to Sound can be discussed........

Steverino,I think Apples idea is that the engineers ultimately will master with the lower level "0dB" and that would be the base for all future releases. Then even the CD is a certain amount of dB below the full possible bit depth resolution.IF the e...
|
|
There are a couple of things that come to mind here:IF there is a danger of clipping and 0dB has to be moved down, we have two things happening: a resampling downwards which will have its toll on sound as well as the new file being less loud - a dire...

Yes Paul,DSEP is planned. Actually I have already experimented with it only with the 12" Fane neodymium midwoofer that covers 80-1K and using 1 cap for the low pass filter. I really like what it does. I am comparing how it works with ceramic and neod...

I have tried the 307A in triode connection in the "standard" no feedback moron 12Axx (in my case 12 AT7) easy configuration with a coupling capacitor and it was "nice". Critical listening was almost impossible, I kept zapping around to find more "imp...

I ran across this site quite a while ago http://rh-amps.blogspot.de and decided to have a go at building one of Alexs amps. The idea of using a real pentode the way it was originally designed for appealed to me.
I had a chance to get some 307A tubes...

[quote user="noviygera"]I have been thinking about how nice it would be to have have a good sounding DSP for crossover and delay functionality. I know this subject was covered here before but what was talked about is this DSP is not that good, and th...

David,everything is clear now. What is a "dealer" supposed to say? What does a dealer have to do to "capture" their markets? How does a "dealer" behave on a forum dedicated to applied Sound and not commerce. It should be apparent from ALL of the resp...
|

Yes, it would be wonderful to be able to separate pitch and speed with no loss or gain of quality........ Still, Vienna playing Bruckner at A=465 is exhilarating to me. Modern American orchestras at A=441 (practically a half step lower) do sound much...

I guess there are many types that come here to GoodSoundClub. Some to "brag", some to "share", some to "police", some just to learn.I guess if your turntable is so important to you, then you could at least tell us how it is sonically "better" than th...

Can we get back into the "ultimate" turntable instead of the deviation of the AF1 that this guy sees as his personal solution. There still has not bee one gram of evidence showing how this deck should be better than anything else. Even ignoring the p...
