  1. ALl Vinyl is 'mastered' so it will be transducable on the disc. If there is extremely high frequency content, it must be reduced to prevent harsh distortions cause by the physical limitation of the cantilever (it can only move so fast). If there is extremely loud low frequency content, it must be reduced to prevent the cantilever from skipping the groove entirely (like a scratch). So, the rise time of high frequencies, and the level of low frequencies are problematic and are reduced (the RIAA curve). If the actual medium is moving more quickly along the cantilever, there is more medium with which to contain the signal without distortion, and the bass and treble cuts can be less (the groove modulations are more spread out). Likewise Reel to reel tape decks have a higher inch per second velocity that gives them better dynamic range In theory
  2. How can they see what they're doing? Too fast for me
  3. "When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent." Isaac Asimov
  4. I guess not, but there are some other pre or se quels that you might have missed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_series
  5. I've had a practically parallel experience with the story; IMO, it's wonderfully told by Asimov. Isn't 'pebble in the sky' also loosely related to the foundation?
  6. fo those that don't know the stroy: Trailer for possibly upcoming movie:

  12. I think you will enjoy it. In the Vinyl days, they were very well known for putting out work that had a dynaqmic range below the noise floor. Their CD tracks are recorded the way they should be (no loudness wars with compression). Here's a screenshot of the trqack above; you can see that the average level is much lower than most modern recordings; that's so as not to end up clipping the dynamic peaks. Most of their discography makes great use of extended dynamics, and it's very satisfying to hear properly recorded music.
  13. Not to harp on Shadowfax (although I don't think any of them played the Harp), but check out the tasty syncopation and stick attack on this one Shadowfax - 01 The Firewalker
  14. Gravity's Angel (Laurie Anderson and Peter Gabriel) some bottomless bass in this one
  15. Laurie Anderson - Same Time Tomorrow
  16. Songs for intimate listening with headphones (or for those that like exaggerated dimensionalization (80ft wide pianos, whispering in your ear, etc.) from sonic holography).
  17. Deap Vally "Drought" Live - Sideshow Alley Deap Vally - "Royal Jelly"
  18. Deap Vally - "Your Love's A Lie"
