DigiPete Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Do you turn up the volume and let your rig ROAR when you are in THAT mode? And what music would it be? - Heavy Rock - Music of your youth - Trance if you have a rave at home - Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture Promise Pegasus2 R6 12TB -> Thunderbolt2 -> MacBook Pro M1 Pro -> Motu 8D -> AES/EBU -> Main: Genelec 5 x 8260A + 2 x 8250 + 2 x 8330 + 7271A sub Boat: Genelec 8010 + 5040 sub Hifiman Sundara, Sennheiser PXC 550 II Blog: “Confessions of a DigiPhile” Link to comment
DigiPete Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 just needs to go really LOUD.

Donnie Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Right now James McMurtry is playing almost too loud for me to type. Is that wrong? Link to comment

While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
wkhanna Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Every time one of the niece's or nephew's freind is over & says, 'My Dad's Cerwin Vegas rock!" A little Marilyn Manson, or Axel Rose - Chinese Democracy on vinyl @ 110 dB shuts them up fast. Then it is right back to the classical at 60 dB.

ssgp2 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 For some reason, I was expecting to be "reasonable" after upgrading my system. I do enjoy feeling the energy from tracks that I did not appreciate before. MacPro Xeon/Audirvana-ITunes/USB/W4S DAC2 SE/ADAM Delta Link to comment
DigiPete Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not entirely related, but . . . I just abused my audiophile surround rig watching the movie from 2005 ripped loss-less from blurry. Really impressive sound effects at full blast! * - The lightning bolts - The ground ripped open - The horn of the tripods - Buildings getting ripped apart - The elevated highway falling on you - Fighter planes flying over you - And the whole fighting scenes I just hope none of the neighbors went to bed early! I'll enjoy the soundtrack by Jeff Wane later ;-) * Well, I was running at -38dB, but still quite loud!

realhifi Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Heck yeah. Stones, Jill Scott, Beethoven, Collective Soul, etc., etc.. They all need that extra push now and then. A BIG push. When Keith's crunchy cords set the tone at the beginning of "Can't you hear me knocking?" the volume starts creeping up and by the time Mick snarls his first line it is LOUD. David Link to comment

robbbby Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Sitting down to listen, never really loud, cleaning up around the house or in the kitchen preparing dinner I break off the awesome knob on my pre. Link to comment
