Actually "the" place to go to for truly open and honest debate? A place where truth and facts about technology and hardware matter more than some bland concept of "respect" that honours members of the Industry just because they say so, and afraid of stepping on toes because someone might feel bad about it and shy to speak up. Courtesy does not mean having to agree with all opinions and there comes a time when one just has to express to another "you're wrong... here's why..." But let's still be courteous. Members could easily look at the topics from other forums and import some of the questions being asked and speak about it candidly. Even if objective-talk and attitudes are ring-fenced into some kind of virtual "underground", we could make that underground a place that even subjectivists know to look at to really get another, potentially more complete discussion... That would just make way too much sense, they want to argue and fight with everyone where they stand... Samuel T Cogley, The Computer Audiophile and Bill Brown 1 1 1 No electron left behind.

Popular Post AudioDoctor Posted February 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2020 All this talk about, recreating the live event has me chuckling... Some of you set your speakers up with a laser measuring tape and you sit in the ideal spot, etc... Has that ever happened at a live event? Here is an example from my own experience. One of my favorite live events was seeing Kat Edmonson at The Dakota here in Minneapolis. It's a pretty small space and they get as many people in there as they can. I was sitting in the seat circled in red below. How should I recreate that live event when I play one of her albums? Does it need to be that specific album? Do I need to switch it up to play another album? Recreating the live event could get time consuming and really cut down on how much music I listen to... edit: in this example, she was facing up. tmtomh, Blake and The Computer Audiophile 1 2 No electron left behind.

Of course you would have had to be in the mastering studio to know whether your reproduced version was close to the original. Do I need to go to The Church Of The Holy Trinity in Toronto to listen to The Trinity Sessions album? 4est 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment

Margo Timmins' breathiness got old pretty quick. I know, sacrilege. Give me the artificial production of Abbey Road any day. Obviously just my own preference, and no objection if anyone feels differently. Damnit Jud, take this crap to the sacrilege-Fi dungeon. 😉 Jud and 4est 2 No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 13 hours ago, lucretius said: Why would anyone produce a recording that attempts to recreate a live event from the perspective of a seat/position that was less than ideal? Presumably, it's only the best/ideal position that matters. My point is, that was my experience of the live performance, and it was a great experience despite the less than ideal seating position. in that space, I don't think there is an ideal position, it's too small. Second, the youtube video I posted about the recording of Stacey Kent's album. How should I attempt to recreate that recording in my home? It's a lost cause from the start. So, with that understood, I can just sit back and enjoy the music instead of worrying about whether or not I am recreating any live events. Jud 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment

Apparently the AP sacd sounds just as good (although making a sacd from a 16/44 master seems odd). So important to get a good version. Go look at the album of the day thread...
