    Science vs...(what you believe you hear)

    Quite interesting reading.  One thing that was only slightly hinted at (only scanned through the thread so if I missed it I'm sure someone will point it out  ;) ) is that people do hear differently from each other.  And by that I mean physically hear differently in the same way not everyone sees...

    looking for male voice music

    Let me what I can do to help this out a bit - Looking at the female artists you have, these may be a good option (wont repeat others) Some stuff from David Gilmour on his own (try David Gilmour - I think is called In Concert) How about a bit of Dave Matthews Peter Gabriel should be a good try...

    1812

    The Telarc is okaaayyy....  If its the same recording we are talking about I think the cannons are really overdone, but it is initially quite impressive - The recording below with Vladimir Ashkenazy is very good - also with real cannons but at a more reasonable level.  There are a lot of...

    Why cant a drive unit covering the full frequency range(successfully)be designed

    Yes it would be... but consider can a flute make the same sound as a tuba?  So why expect a loudspeaker to the same. Physics is what it is. However perhaps you can give a go and become very very rich if can do it! ;)

    Grammy's - What a farce

    I stopped paying attention to these things a loooong time ago (to be honest I didn't even know it was on  :o ).  This just confirms that I have the done the right thing...  OMG I see that the Bieber was up for some awards!  On the other hand perhaps our ages are starting to show...

    Advice please.... Rel

    Am using a Storm III for both AV and music.  Its a bit larger than what you are looking at but it may give an indication.  I did buy this mainly for music but find its great for movies too.  Goes down lower than most subs and has good detail too.

    Jeremy Clarkson on 'e-music'

    "Of course, you're not going to listen to it in the same way that you listened to Steve Millers 'Fly Like an Eagle' in 1976. Back then, listening to an album was a job in itself whereas this e-music is acoustic wallpaper, something you have on while you do do something else."  J.Clarkson...

    FLAC vs MP3 - can you tell the difference?

    I'm sure that might be the case - I didn't spend a whole lot of time doing this - the guy in the pic below kept calling for me to come play.  As for that high fidelity stuff - been looking for a decent DAC but that damn wallet keeps getting in the way  ;) .

    FLAC vs MP3 - can you tell the difference?

    ditto Was just playing around just this last week with something similar - found some 128kbps mp3s and compared with the same songs in FLAC.  Was pretty easy to distinguish.  Out of curiosity tried 256 and was pretty hard pressed to tell the difference. I'm sure at 320kbps I wont be able to...
