"Music Night" with Beat_Dominator

[Beat_Dominator 5,000+ posts]

This is one of my new-year's resolutions. I have this equipment in my apartment and I feel I just spend too little time listening to music on it! Sure it's nice for games and movies....but IMO that would be a waste.

There are other bonuses to spending a quality 3-4 hour session with a home setup and that is to really build up that mental "reference" to transfer to my car (which has no setup at this time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif) for tuning purposes.

If you have never seen our HT section in cacom, this is the current setup I'm working with tonight.

I'm going to start off the listening with Diana Krall's "The Girl In the Other Room" SACD.

The Piano in this CD is wonderful, but everyone knows it's about the vocals with Krall.

I'll keep you updated as I go! I hope this inspires some of you to relax to some of your favorite music and forgo the TV for a night //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Pfft, this Diana Krall ish is banned in 35 countries because it's so fucking hardcore. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

a nice 60" plasma would look great there...unless that TV is huge and those speakers are extra huge making it look smaller

It's a 46" ? I'd get headaches if it were any bigger for the distance I sit from it. Speakers are 6' tall. and the image on the screen is 4:3..... It's like a brain teaser photo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Ok, next up I'm going with some rock. Deep Purple's "Who Do We Think We Are". This is the Mobile Fidelity Gold CD version, it's not as grainy as the original.

Ok, by popular demand I have just put in Dr. Dre's "Chronic 2001". He's not the best lyricist, but the man cares about production value.

Does MoFi stuff seem EQ'ed a little weird to you?

Some of their releases are just...eh...

I have 3, some over-do the filter to remove tape hiss I heard. The Bad Co. album is the best sounding one I have.

I actually have a 27" next to speakers that size //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
