Howzit going guy? This is a NON E-Wave and JBL speaker thread, for a little change of pace. :D

So what music do you like to listen too and what music is most revealing?

...and btw, what's up with the action figures?

:)
Carl

Inquiring minds want to know.

Action figures? Like a buttercup?

You'd better post this in the speaker forum or he'll never see it..:D

Yeah... I thought about that, after the fact.

Definetly the wrong forum dude.

Zilch has made 6,532 posts.

34 of them are NOT in the speaker forum.

Good Luck, Carl. :D



128547HEY ZILCH, MAN... SOMEBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT MUSIC WITH YA...

lol!

I guess I will have to cheat..

Hey Toddster.. glad you pulled yourself together! And that's just a regular stool you're sitting on right?

:D

Maybe you should post in speakers that there's a post not in speakers requiring his attention. Good for the post count.

Where AM I? :dazedandconfused:

Somebody let me outta the cage, did they? :nutz:

Eclectic, really.


Test stuff:

Patricia Barber - extreme female vocals, acoustic bass, percussive detail

Dzihan & Kamien - LF delivery w/o IM distortion; it's up 10 dB sometimes

Peter Gabriel - male vocals, subsonics

Dave Grusin - jazz clarity

Roger Waters - transients, Q-sound; phase gotta be right for that to work optimally

Little Feat, Pink Floyd, Béla Fleck (recently), Fleetwood Mac (imaging), Chico Science - the gamut.

[UT, oh. A friggin' LEASH...! http://audiokarma.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=101860&stc=1&d=1217571490 ]

The action figure is pro wrestler JBL holdin' the (test) mic.

[Arcane humor.... ;) ]

huh.. I was thinking music to Zilch's ears was a 1,000hz test tone.. .

MLS mostly, now that I can do it, Simi.

[Multiple Length Sequence, or something like that, it is.... :yes: ]

That's a pretty solid list there Zilch...:thmbsp:

That's a pretty solid list there Zilch...:thmbsp:Thank you, Cableguy. Music plays virtually all day here on whatever's presently under development alt Indignias (of late).

Anyone checking the time stamps on the curves I post will likely find the really serious testing occurring after midnight, when there's only an occasional train several blocks away intruding upon the measurement process.... :yes:

Hey Zilch!

Good to see you get out for a change!

Patricia Barber that's who I was trying to remember. Thanks!

I acutally have a similar action figure I found while fishing. :D

Roger Waters, well that does it. You're OK despite what I've been told. Anyone that would listen to him, PF, and Fleetwood Mac can't be a bad guy. :D

Zilch, my post was simply an observation on the futility of Carl's forum choice for this thread :D ... no adverse commentary on your posting habits intended. :music:

MY question is, what do you listen to, when you pack away the test gear and shut down the lab? What moves you, beyond 'data'?

Most of us measuring types love music as much as anyone, hence the passion to learn as much as we can. Without music, we'd be doing something else with our time.

I'm a wanker... since I don't always get the data! :D

MY question is, what do you listen to, when you pack away the test gear and shut down the lab? What moves you, beyond 'data'?A lot more guitar stuff; blues, mostly. It doesn't challenge the system so much as it does the soul.... :guitar:

:lmao:
See. that's where Zilchy being semi-local to you is a good thing. He can interpret the graphs and you can confirm or deny the interpretation. Or, if you point out something bad, he can probably show you what's going on.

He has taken the time to do all that. I'm verrry slow, that's why I'm an artist and draw pictures. :D

Finally you're saying something that I understand.:D

Maximum.

Exellent! I was jamming some Tab Benoit earlier and Keb' Mo' yesterday. If you're looking for a great disc that you can test with or just sit back and listen to, try George Faber - Blues (http://www.musicdirect.com/product/74713). It's produced by Geoff Poor (owner of Glenn Poor's Audio Video in Champaign, IL and a principle of Balanced Audio Technologies) and mastered by Bob Katz (as good as they get). It's recorded live-in-studio and the band is tight. There is almost no compression at all and the sound is amazing. Best of all, the music is outstanding. I run through it every few days.

So what blues you spinnin', Z?

Ray

Maximum.Yeah, that.

[I know it when I hear it. ;) ]


So what blues you spinnin', Z?Not so much lately, Ray, but Keb' Mo' is here, Muddy Waters, don't much like BB King, do like Ry Cooder, Sonny Landreth. Legacy stuff, too; Down Home Music is just down the street:

http://www.downhomemusic.com/

It ain't just that. Dire Straits, U2, Michael Hedges, and a bunch of other guitar, Allman Bros, Subdudes, G Love, Big Head Todd....

Now for the topper. Vinyl or digital?:D

There's vintage vinyl here, but it rarely gets play.

[REAL rarely.... ;) ]

Yeah, that.

Now were talking! Ray sent me some great tunes. This is stuff I can relate too!

:music: Excellent! Now, add a little Doc Watson to the mix... :yes:

Yeah, that.

Take a listen to some Ronnie Earl for tasty "blues with soul".

Thank you all for your interest and recommendations. :yes:

I'll head on back to "home turf" now; here's the obligatory Indignia/EconoWave pic for those who haven't yet seen one.... ;)

Nice to know there's another Big Head Todd & The Monsters fan here on the board.

:thmbsp:

Add another if you are keeping a list...

for a little psychedelic/swamp rock sound with a real blues soul. These dudes are the real deal, and sound even better live than they do on disc (unlike so many talentless studio-heros you hear today, they can actually play a whole song w/ out it needing to have the good bits edited together and the bad bits chopped out) they played the KGSR tea party here in Austin w/ Carolyn Wonderland opening (now there's a blues queen, sho nuff!!!) a couple of years ago, and I can't remember the last time I saw a more exciting, guitartastic blues/rockin show!

here is a video of them recording:
