Parrot Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Here's the Mac Rack with burning and dodging applied Which just goes to show that overusing digital photo tricks makes pictures look worse than they were originally. In the altered photo it looks like the equipment really was burned, and you can see charcoal and ash residue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomac Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Its been about a week since Larry set-up my Well Tempered turn table and Im really happy with the results. Although it plays slightly softer than the MiniMax CD player, the tone and clarity are exceptional. I just got six LPs from my friend and quality dealer in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Japan and I cant wait to put them on the platter. Once again; thanks to Larry for his knowledge, enthusiasm and efforts regarding the WT table. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I would have liked to have done more comparisons during the get together. What other people are hearing is interesting and very helpful. I have a lot to learn about listening and next time I hope we can do and discuss more. I know its difficult to be critical of someones system or a component within the system but Id really like to know what others think. Like Allan, I like to enjoy the music first but like Larry and Gary, I want a system that integrates well and reproduces music in a life like way. This is not to say that Allan's system doesn't integrate well or reproduce quality music. It does! Just talking about priorities here. I'd love to have any one of the systems mentioned but if I could have Allan's jazz collection instead!!!![] Well, its time for some big band sound with Count Basies Breakfast Dance and Barbecue and Art Pepper + Eleven.

Well, its time for some big band sound with Count Basies Breakfast Dance and Barbecue and Art Pepper + Eleven. Scott, thanks for all those kind comments -- I think it was mostly luck and a few ad hoc skills that got that odd beast up and running. Meanwhile, what, perhaps unfamiliar, music did you hear that you liked? That Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings is an old favorite of mine that I don't have in my collection, and I think you liked that and the LPs of the Dvorak 7th Symphony in D minor. Also what we heard of the Carmina Burana CD. I would be interested knowing what your most favorite Blue Note and other recommended jazz recordings are. I thought those sounded very fine and intimate on your upstairs system. For those at John's house the first afternoon who wondered what hall was used in the DVD Chicago Symphony recording of the Berlioz Damnation of Faust -- you were right, it wasn't in Chicago, it was London at the Royal Albert Hall, a "farewell" concert as Solti neared the end of his conducting career. Must have been a stupendous task to move the chorus, orchestra, and instruments across the pond. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evIL Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 wow! that sounds great. i am here in chicago and thought i might offer some possibly exciting info. at least getting to milwaukee from chicago can be cheaper than a sound design speaker, if you dont mind taking a bus. www.megabus.com has a few routes with few stops but one is milwaukee and others include chicago and indianapolis. now, if you book as soon as they are available (i think 60 days out) you can get a roundtrip free or darn close! if someone else posted about this i apologize, i just didnt feel like checking through 7 pages. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
