Re: Details

We are mostly all different then. Who'd have thought it :lol:

What Geoff said earlier seems to be all that needs to be said on the matter

Re: Bloody weather

It's as warm as toast today. Not a good day for doing physical work so I went to work 6am and got it all done half an hour ago. It really was a beautiful time to be out in the countryside.

Re: Details

Difficult to say Stu, I don't use my Hi-Fi much but in live sound if the guy or gal up front is giving their best it is my job to make sure they can be heard, which is kind of saying I'll do my best to put it in the mix and/or recording. It is discourteous to the musicians and singers not to make t...

Details

Does detail get in the way of the music ? For me it doesn't, well not with the equipment I have now. I am a detail junkie, if it's on the record I wanna hear it. If the artist put it there then they obviously wanted you to hear it. Sometimes those little details make the song or piece make sense. I ...

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7

Having listened to quite a few albums I can find nothing not to like about this experiment with tweeter pod directly above the mid bass. :dance: It certainly is not ideal because I have tweeters held in with tape that is wrinkled a bit, the tweeters are not all flush with the ring of the cut out at...

Re: What is it about a circuit.

Except for one, there is a refreshing lack of foo on forums these days. Accept for one form ,Even subjectivist's are refreshingly beyond the days when anything was being advocated. Pity the doc didn't live to see it, but he played an important part . Building amps as alleviated most of my paranoia ...
