[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of v...

Well, I guess the Tchaikovsky Pathetique symphony with its slow gloomy decay will be out of picture to play on TT with Stevenson's alignment…. Well, as I said I would argue any alignment theory that relates alignment with music type. So naturally I d...

It is know that many music people do not get audio. The subject was zillion times discussed among all imaginary people and different people offer different explanation of the phenomena. I do not find that any “phenomena” exists in all but you do not...

[quote user="decoud"]Is it not strange that we are so fixated on spatial separation in sound? Instruments in an orchestra are spatially separated because you can't have one musician sitting in another's lap, not because the music demands it. Music is...

Actually I would be very much disappointed if we develop a relationship that would require sending signals that would make us to leave each other f. alone. I could perfectly comfortable in this setting with recursive girlfriends but I do not feel tha...

Rakesh, I think you take it all wrong and I think you need to perform some degaussing from my site. You created for yourself a cardboard cutout of ideas that I describe at my site but it is not what it is. Macondo Axioms are not set of rules but a di...

[quote user="Paul S"] I don't know Zander at all, ...[/quote] If you do not know him them you need to learn about him. It is a good conductor and a exceptional populizator of classical music. Here is the emblematic Benjamin Zander:

It is funny that as I bought the house I did not have any use for this room, in fact I did not even liked this room but with recent event I truly developed appreciation of the room. I totally rebuilt the decor of the room, converting it to the ve...

Well, I know that there are
a lot of people out there who very much worship the “size” of Mahler 8. I do admits
that the size of the thing does matter and to attends show when zillion people screaming
and playing has own special value. However, I ...

It is a recursive subject at my site that the sad state of music/audio industry is not due to some cosmic or social reasons but due to the very specific and very idiotic actions of very specific individuals who run the industry. Here is the case to p...

As I predicted, the fucking SACD keep vandalizing everything. The SF keep calming about the big efforts that took them cook their Mahler 8 but in the end the morons record everything in SACD. If would be the same if they records it in Mono!

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

[quote user="serenechaos"]I don't know where this goes, so I'm just starting it as a new thread; please move (or even edit or delete) as appropriate. After reading too many wondourus reviews of ceramic driver speakers in general, and only havin...

Alas, no time for anything at the moment, the listening valuation must await construction of the amps (and speakers...)Also, it is a very custom application - it is designed to drive an array of ribbon tweeters. Normally these have matching transform...

The subject of vulgarity in art gets confused with bad taste and satire, so I am not sure which exactly you mean. For example Mahler seems to me to have many instances of bad taste and satire but seldom any significant vulgarity. Tchaikovsky not ...

I posted the post above very “fresh”, perhaps 20 minutes after the concert was over. This morning I woke up very late – very atypical to me. I know my body and I know how it reacts to great music – a short period after a great performance I feel ...

Yep, Rowuk, I did come to the similar observations and I did implement the “shit playback for that stuff.” I however did not have any residual damage and it never takes for me a week to recover. I however do not feel any “guilt” wh...

This is a very good question, but there is a lot involved.Tying "expressive/drama" factor to frequency range is very real. With a trumpet (and a soprano voice for instance) I would say that we change from dramatic to spectacular above the soprano sta...

I was playing today my this week FM recording of Mahler’s “Songs of a Wayfarer” and the “The Song of the Earth” (both life-to-tape by baritone Thomas Hampson, one from San Francisco and another is from Concertgebouw) and I felt that it ever it wa...

Hmmmmmmm, Jerry I do know Shostakovich very well, and it is not that I do not “get” him. I do “get “him unfortunately. I just I do not like many of his “thighs”, that might have4 to do with many things – my personal heritage and my “admiration” of ma...

Jerry,
Why you are so afraid of the notion of accidentally good performance – it always happens and I do not see in it any sign of negativism. Since your introduction, listening many of the Ljubliana recordings, I would say that I ...

My interests in sounds are lately gone to next direction. I became less care about the expressivity of sounds but rather about semi-masochistic subsiding of sound, almost at the level of sonic humiliation. I am taking about the state of intenti...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]Must disagree with Romy that
the M8 is useless and without point. Just for starts, there's Goethe, the
tallest hero of German literature, and his Faust, of which schoolchildren there
must memorize significant portions. [...
