Name: |
Konrad Kalkwerk | |
Details: |
My love of music continues unabated, but the endless experiments on hearing, aural perception, and sound reproduction, I think, have come to an end. | |
Location: |
~ 60th latitude. | |
HiFi: |
* ME-Geithain active monitor speakers (www.me-geithain.de/en/download/rl901keng.pdf): "the most accurate speakers in the world" with which you can drive the SPL up to 122 dB and still enjoy the music; moreover, your neighbors behind the wall won't hear the bass (it's directional [yes]) even though these put most subwoofers to shame. Add to that the precision and depth of the sound image (these are coaxial) and the huge dynamics (comes from being powered, with the bespoke amps designed and made in-house) and the proof is on hand that "audio heaven" is best found with good electrical engineers as your guide. * Ultrasone S-Logic Pro headphones (www.ultrasone.com/index_en.php?level=2&CatID=4.22&inhalt_id=22) -- very healthy listening (and an astonishing 3D projection to boot)! * dCS player/DAC (dcsltd.co.uk/) * Funk Tonstudiotechnik headphone/preamp (www.funk-tonstudiotechnik.de/INFO-Gesamt-3.07.2009-englisch.pdf): the least "sounding" preamps I know of and they cost peanuts (compared to...); no wonder Bauer Studios (ECM), Teldec/Teldex studios, Sony, FMP, radio stations like ORF, NDR, WDR, SWR, and Bavarian Radio use these, along with equipment/audio tool makers like Nagra, SADiE, Weiss, Bösendorfer, ADAM Audio, ME-Geithain, etc. * Sommer Cable cabling (www.sommercable.com/2__default/index.html), but these could be any cables that are well made. Very good price/quality ratio and German engineering. |

| I use these a bit in a same way as Tailspin does his panels, even if in stereo only (fittingly for the Big Earphones metaphor). Better precision, sorting ability, sense of distance, neutrality, and dynamics, higher SPLs more easily and comfortably, and less room reflections (directional bass, closely controlled dispersion pattern throghout). And ... more | |

| We've already gotten that: [t=8164] Hard to imagine the transfer/remastering being bettered, so I doubt AP will bother. As they shouldn't. ... more | |

| So there are then at least 4 different version out of this already (with a fifth one now on its way)? But I don't see the SRGS 4501 listed here on this site. On some other Miles albums I've checked (Four, Valentine) I've noticed, like you and Claude, the sonics of the SICP-100** versions to be altogether clearly more satisfying than on any of the ... more | |

| Where does the JSACD SRGS 4501 fall in all this? The same as the Columbia CS 64935? It's single layer, produced by Moto Uehara, remastered by Mark Wilder in NY, authored for SACD by Koji Suzuki in Tokyo, dates from 1999, and has the alt take of Flamenco Sketches. It's getting hard to keep track of all the constantly new versions. ... more | |
