Do you recall where the alleged "heavy-handed" rubato is located that the Brit Critics raved about? - jdaniel@jps.net 15:12:11 08/30/20 (0)

I agree with you, Scott - Chris from Lafayette 11:29:20 08/30/20 (71)

Compared to the screwbato we're often subjected to today, I don't find Beecham's to sound unnatural at all - jdaniel@jps.net 12:58:13 08/30/20 (70)

"The soundstage just doesn't seem to open up" [in the Reiner recording] - Chris from Lafayette 15:02:33 08/30/20 (69)

No, fact. The Beecham recording projects a much more natural, open sound, with hall interaction preserved. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 15:13:52 08/30/20 (68)

Sound is subjective - jimbill 22:04:47 09/1/20 (2)

That's why I said **more** open and natural as opposed to **perfectly** open and natural. - jdaniel@jps.net 07:27:20 09/2/20 (1)

Please tell us about this Star Trek transporter of yours - Analog Scott 11:59:26 08/31/20 (56)

And...your experience playing in Wind Ensembles and Orchestras is...? - jdaniel@jps.net 16:50:58 08/31/20 (53)

OK, jdaniel - you'll have to explain this - Chris from Lafayette 22:49:17 08/31/20 (22)

It's absolutely valid to ask a presumed audiophile couch commando whether he expects, say, a triple-forte - jdaniel@jps.net 09:27:46 09/1/20 (21)

Nice side-step there, jdaniel - Chris from Lafayette 13:01:40 09/1/20 (20)

What does one do when performing or sitting in on live rehearsals? - jdaniel@jps.net 13:15:50 09/1/20 (19)

So you're claiming that the only way one will pay attention. . . - Chris from Lafayette 16:40:06 09/1/20 (18)

Just a point of clarification... - Analog Scott 20:18:30 09/1/20 (13)

So you're saying it's odd to expect a recording to preserve a hall's reflection of, say, a rim-shot? - jdaniel@jps.net 07:31:46 09/2/20 (7)

Do you actually read my posts or do you just drop in random responses? - Analog Scott 08:17:11 09/2/20 (6)

I read all the way through your tortured soliloquy, down to the final, indignant paragraphs, obviously. - jdaniel@jps.net 08:33:50 09/2/20 (5)

Based on your question it was pretty far from obvious - Analog Scott 09:25:07 09/2/20 (4)

Aural Illusions... I get it. But does it matter how the brain is tricked? - jdaniel@jps.net 09:47:37 09/2/20 (3)

What "matters" is subjective - Analog Scott 10:11:23 09/2/20 (2)

Ultimately, you're saying that "downstream" empirical measurements of any sort are off the table? T - jdaniel@jps.net 10:26:12 09/2/20 (1)

Nope, not what I am saying either - Analog Scott 12:33:42 09/2/20 (0)

Yeah - we've had this discussion before [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 01:10:53 09/2/20 (4)

Do you believe it's "fact" that 5 Channel is more open and natural, dare I say "closer to the live experience" - jdaniel@jps.net 07:45:46 09/2/20 (3)

For me it is, but for many listeners, it's obviously not - Chris from Lafayette 12:46:40 09/2/20 (2)

OK then, the superiority of Chabrier in three channel is a matter of opinion. : ) nt - jdaniel@jps.net 12:58:08 09/2/20 (1)

First of all I have plenty of experience..Second Your experience does not trump an entire field of science - Analog Scott 19:58:39 08/31/20 (27)

You're making this too difficult. Spacial cues are either retained or they're not. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 09:29:56 09/1/20 (26)

That's complete Bull**** - Analog Scott 19:19:45 09/1/20 (14)

I was mocking your Absolutism earlier. Calm down! Damn. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 19:32:07 09/1/20 (13)

It wasn't absolutism. It was science based reality - Analog Scott 20:25:11 09/1/20 (12)

All fine and dandy, but I never said the Reiner had zero spacial cues, did I? So many straw men thrown at me, - jdaniel@jps.net 21:33:39 09/1/20 (11)

I said it was a fact that the Beecham was **more** open and natural, not **perfectly** open and natural - jdaniel@jps.net 07:44:17 09/2/20 (7)

Yes that is what you said. and the fact remains that it is not "a fact" - Analog Scott 08:25:22 09/2/20 (6)

Come on. Is it not a fact that stereo is more open and natural than mono, due to the increased projection of - jdaniel@jps.net 08:44:04 09/2/20 (5)

First we would have to reach a common understanding of what you mean by open. - Analog Scott 09:35:55 09/2/20 (4)

We all agree that 60s Columbia Classical sound is, as a rule, not "open." - jdaniel@jps.net 09:54:44 09/2/20 (3)

first of all you can't just declare a consensus - Analog Scott 12:42:54 09/2/20 (2)

Or, you could say that spatial cues are either heard or they're not - Chris from Lafayette 13:12:14 09/1/20 (10)

That's what I was saying all along. What two chan recordings give you that holistic, "you are there" thrill - jdaniel@jps.net 14:14:15 09/1/20 (3)

OK - I'm done [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 16:45:09 09/1/20 (2)

You once mentioned there'd be a lot less confusion if everyone listed recordings that exemplified the poesy - jdaniel@jps.net 17:38:52 09/1/20 (1)

Well, regardless, I think we're all agreed as to how poorly the engineering turned out [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 01:25:59 09/2/20 (2)

The Beecham isn't perfect, but it's more open and natural with a palpable sense of hall - jdaniel@jps.net 12:39:46 08/31/20 (3)

It all depends on which hall (or studio) - Chris from Lafayette 16:30:47 08/31/20 (2)

Did you download the Beecham? nt - jdaniel@jps.net 16:51:39 08/31/20 (1)
