    "How can we ever truly know if we are hearing exactly what is on the recording?"

    The author's viewpoint in this article may be controversial for our forum, but at least he tries to keep you honest. It is a little long but I think it is worth reading. Don't skip any of it. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/0601/audiohell.htm My personal answer to the question...

    "High End" Speakers you have owned

    I can't believe you had a ML Statement E2 and got rid of it! I always thought they were spectacular. Why did you get rid of it?

    YG introduces the InVincible, 21" all-aluminum 6000W sub!

    All this is true especially on prolonged organ bass notes. My room is 34 feet long and system has been measured flat to below 10Hz and there isn't even a downward slope at 10 Hz. Whenever I think I found everything that vibrates, the slighjtest things that are moved in the room (it could be as...

    WHY are high-efficiency speakers are better at conveying emotion of music vs. audiophile vocabulary?

    On one hand you say audiophiles are sensitive if you don't share their tastes and on the other hand you tell people who may disagree to stay out of the thread. I don't think you can have it both ways.

    Do We Generally Hear the Same or Differently?

    We DEFINITELY hear things differently, especially above 4000 Hz. Aside from the neural integrity of the cochlea and presence or lack of all the hairs that are supposed to be there, the anatomy of our ear canals is also a major factor in how we hear. Testing my ear canal statement is very easy...

    Carmina Burana fans

    Many times the lyrics of large choral works are unclear or difficult to understand due to poor enunciation by the chorus or poor recording techniques. Here are mis-heard lyrics from "O Fortuna" in Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIwrgAnx6Q8

    The new Aida reviewd by Michael Fremer

    All joking aside, neither one of them thrill me. The XLF was meh and the Aida made my ears bleed.

    I love the pencil and charcoal. That's a beautiful piece. Years ago when I did more photography, I used medium format black and white and using the Zone System with three film backs to have contraction, normal and expansion levels of contrast. Black and white is the art of photography and...

    I can definitely see women finding him sexy. He is a tall well built man. You said "the master of his domain," I wonder if he was also the master of women's domain (a la Jerry Seinfeld) as well. :D The painting is life sized--91" tall. It's definitely reminsicent of a High Hefner pose...

    Here'a a famous portrait by John Singer Sargent. "Dr. Pozzi at home" Dr. Pozzi is/was a gynecologist. At the museum show (I think it was the Museum of Modern Art in NYC) we saw in the middle of 2015 (I checked my Amazon orders because I bought Gail a book with all the paintings in the Sargent...

    It is very unfortunate that so many artists struggle throughout their lives only to have people who have bought and sold their works of art a generation or two after they died to have made extraordinary amounts of money.
