It is excellent that Timbre is described here as color. This is actually how musicians speak about it. The problem with the comparison to photography is that color with a musical instrument is a moving target. If we take my own instrument, the trumpe...

[quote user="dazzdax"] Sakuma's idiosyncratic and esoteric way of thinking (he believes for example that tubes have a "soul") is not to everyone's liking. He is projecting his mind into a sort of tone control. At least for him this tone control bring...

Last night Levine and BSO played a phenomenal Mahler 5, truly great play. I had some issues with BSO sound and I probably will bring it up to them. Tonight I decided to listen the M5 broadcast for the first time and I realized that my bass is gone. ...

Well, they managed to find program that highlights their products' good qualities in this situation, all right, which is more than one can say about other, similar product marketers. Not enough to overcome my inner skeptic yet, but this has gotten m...

Romy, do you still have the "bass traps" from your previous house? I also hate an "over-damped" room, but it might be useful to know more about the "character" of the room modes you have mentioned. Sure, the 60 Hz plagues everyone. The RTA will te...

Perhaps we mean different things by the word 'accident'. For me, an accidently great piece of art would be if I painted things at random on a canvas and it 'accidentally' turned out to be identical to a masterpiece by Rembrandt. Pure chan...

Then do not miss the live-to tape WGBH 89.7 broadcast on Sunday Oct. 26, 3pm James Levine leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Gustav Mahler #6. They might do something very interesting and combine different movements from 3 concerts that they pl...

The first movement went terrifically well -- Rhythmically alert, quickly paced and beautifully shaped. It reminded me of the Weingartner recording, and of the Thomas/Pittsburgh I once heard on the radio while sitting in the car. Difference is, the la...
