Videos of Acoustically-Coupled Audio Recordings

Oh yeah, the paper thin ones. Sorry don’t put the effort to record or post any more videos. I got the picture. After all these years, I expected better. Well you can always listen to my DHT/SET videos, here is one for you, enjoy!

Paper thin? I think you mean your WAAR system and it’s spitty sibilance. At least the DHT/SET one is tolerable.
 
What you are doing is not lost on anyone. You make all recordings sound similar and to your taste…Great. But then you claim it as some kind of universal achievement. All we can do is shake our heads in disbelief about what you think is superior sounding.

You really don’t have a clue how to even begin to implement convolution filtering in the analog domain. If you are not impressed with my taste so be it, it is the sound that we are discussing. Listen to the low level & inner detail, spaciousness & dimensionality, bass articulation & depth, dynamic range and robustness of the sound of my videos and then listen to your videos……enough said!

Interesting some of the initial feedback that I received was that the sound was too robust and bass heavy. Listen to your videos and compare and contrast!
 
The WAAR system is for me.

Exactly! Subjective hobby, personal preferences.

I feel like some of our collective discussions run aground when we mistake our subjective, personal preferences for some form of objective sonic truth.

Silly guy, it is ONLY the sound of your recordings we are discussing! I am not the only one hearing the disconnect between your words and your results. No one hears what you claim…repeating doesn’t make it true. No one cares HOW you did what you did (I would not call it an achievement).

You don’t even understand where the perception of thinness comes from…hint it’s not from the bass.

It’s not the subjective preference that is in question, Ron. If you are going to interject then at least get up to speed on the full discussion.

There is no thinness. It is relative as the sound is bass heavy by design and that causes a perceived reduced midrange but it is not missing. Learn about perception and relativity in regards to psychoacoustics. It is there in all of its glory, it is just not the emphasis. Nothing is missing!

Go listen to the sibilance you have put on Moreissey’s voice…it is thin. Guitar lost all semblance of a body. Thin. Violins on Shostakovich…thin….woodwinds…thin. Piano on beautiful life…thin…

If nothing is missing, then why doesn't it sound anything like REAL music?

See here is the cool deal, I can make them sound thicker and denser with a twist of a knob! Yes, that easy! I’m happy with the sound.

Al, you might have lost along the way, but I said earlier that my goal was not to reproduce the recording as it sounds but to tailor the sound of the system to have the sound that I prefer. Does my DHT/SET system sound like the original recording? Well that makes 38 other systems that similar sound here in house. I wanted something different that sounds not enjoyable to me. I’m no longer constrained to someone else’s vision or sound!

Hi-Fi stands for High Fidelity.
 
Not only do I like to thinker, I know that I can do better than that, because I already have!

Here is a sneak peak of my new horn speaker system that I’m working on. I’m still waiting on delivery of the massive midbass horns:

Far beyond Living Voice Vox Olympian or Aries Cerat Contendo Reference 2! A true monster in the making. The drivers in both of those systems are pedestrian compared to what I’m using. The best of the best.

So … you will have no problem in listing for us the full manufacturer and model driver arrays in the following Horn Transducer Systems then ?

A. Living Voice Vox Olympian
B. Aries Cerat Contendo Reference II
C. Your Dismembered Horn Transducer

I’m Way passed that stage of deception. When you find it and reach the goal let me know. I stopped drinking the Kool-Aid a long time ago. I know listen for enjoyment. By the way there are some 37 systems here at home set up for that objective so I have that and many other boxes checked!

Get the hell out of here! Why does everyone want me to openly share what I have worked so hard on???? Do your own research!
 
I know a hell of a lot more than you S.F.! Or should that have been D. F.!

Have a wild stab at this revised list then Oh Higher Power ;)

A. Living Voice Vox Olympian

For everyone that has been following this shit-show, stay tuned! Not only will I be uploading a video of Brad’s Itzhak’s violin track with my Remastering settings but I will also adjust the settings to make the midrange blowsome! Next you will hear Brad complain that it’s too much wood! Is all wood! All I can hear is wood!!!! Is overloaded with wood!!!!!! Dial the wood down a little please!!!! Any other requests while I’m adding wood?????

Oh, I can’t wait to be amazed!

There is only one way a violin sounds in real life…you know that…right?
