"the long and whining road" hey you all, if someone might like to venture a guess as to what's up, I'd appreciate it. Seems I can never be happy with my stereo system, but sometimes with headphones I get really nice sound, and also, oddly enough, when my "source" is the TV I get really nice sound. Maybe it's just that I don't have really high expectations from TV sound - but to me the TV sound is great. I've been buying some fairly mainstream new CD's lately - most recently Robert Plant's "Band of Joy" and Leon Russell and Elton John's new album. Also Richard Thompson's latest, which I've only given one listen. Thompson's and Plant's - I've kind of really put down as far as rating them - for the SAME reason! Incredibly dense, murky impenetrable sound. Not much clarity. I wrote a whole "review" of BOJ in a post on AudioKarma forum just lambasting the production and instrumentation on BOJ. (along with saying some complimentary things because it's a great album in many ways) But you know what?????? the Elton John and Leon Russell album is that way too! What are the odds I'd buy 3 CD's in a row that all have that same UNATTRACTIVE sound characteristic? Not high odds, I'd say. It's like all the stuff you'd like to hear in nice detail in the mid section is just, I guess you cold say "muted". Like PIANO! :( NOT good to have sh_tty piano sound on a Leon Russell/Elton collab. sigh....so I guess I need to look to my equipment - again. I guess I'll start with repositioning the speakers, which will require repositioning everything else too, pretty much. The website of the speakers I own (Axiom M3's) DO stress that positioning of speakers is important, if not critical. So there's that. I just can't believe that the last 3 things I've purchased aren't sounding good to me - just as far as the SOUND. And they are all critically acclaimed efforts, if not outright gushed over, by others. Although, a couple other folks have agreed with me that Band of Joy is kind of darkly impenetrable as far as sound, if you just sit down to critically listen. As background music, or music while you do something else, that aspect probably wouldn't make itself apparent. Do any of you all ever have to turn your bass DOWN from the 0 position? and treble UP? Last night, listening to the Elton and Leon CD, finally I said "f_ck this sh_t" and a. turned off my subs, and b. turned the bass on the receiver down and turned the treble up some. Then it was better. I'm almost wondering if it's just my ears. That I need either headphones or extreme drunkenness (or both) for the music to sound astonishingly good. The last new CD I bought that DOES sound really decent, is Tom Petty's "MOJO". I had a bad experience right about that time with a Derek Trucks band live album, too. So, I know these artists are all extremely well regarded and I think it's ME, or some aspect of my system that just ain't right. I have nice stuff - a newish Harman Kardon receiver and matching DVD player that is very highly rated - altho not true audiophile level, and as I mentioned, the Axiom speakers. My room is tiny. Gonna go ahead and switch it all around. I think I have the speakers sitting a bit too low, and too wide apart, and there's "stuff" sort of too close-by that could be throwing the sound off. Dunno! maybe the days of just sitting in front of a system and being delighted by the sound are over. I hope not. Or, maybe I just need to commit to headphone use if I'm going to listen in detail. I have a neat little chinese headphone amp/DAC that used with toslink cable from Airport Express, or direct from DVD player sounds really sweet! makes the cans really sing. Am ALMOST thinking of running the DVD player through it too, before receiver, for listening without headphones. Not sure if it's even all worth it anymore. It just bugs me. LOL!!!!!!! anybody ready to slap me yet!?? Anyway thanks for letting me share my thoughts. Yes, the speakers are hooked up correctly (not out of phase) UNLESS they were wired incorrectly at the factory. I guess I should check - I've heard it mentioned before as a possibility. thx again, Em, aka "crack baby" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 09:35:45 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: sound issue NJC long......and whining.. "the long and whining road" Hi Em, I'm sorry for your frustrations and unhappiness. I feel especially bad as I know you picked up the Richard Thompson based on my recommendation. I was enjoying it this morning myself. I feel almost blessed that I don't have the "curse" of audiophilia. I also picked up the Elton-Leon CD Tuesday and am loving it. And I would have bet money that I was NEVER going to buy another new Elton John CD again ever. All I can suggest is that maybe you find someone who can come and look at the connections/settings, placement etc to determine if you're getting the maximum out of your system.

"the long and whining road" It's not you, Em. Many new recordings are so highly compressed they end up sounding like mud to listeners with discerning ears. Some of the great studio recordings from 50 years ago, like Lady In Satin and Mingus' Ah Um, are far superior sonically to most new recordings. It is no coincidence that the Tom Petty is better recorded. It is because he is so knowledgeable about sound recording and actually cares. He is, BTW, in the cover of the latest Sound and Vision and talks a lot about his recording processing. I always have my subs ( I have two) set to zero. If you want to turn your treble up, do it! As we age most of us who care about lyrics do the same. Luckily, my new car has a 14 speaker THX ll certified system in it and I just love listening to music in it. My friends claim I bought the car for the stereo, which is only partly true :-) Jerry On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 8:48 AM, Em wrote: > hey you all, if someone might like to venture a guess as to what's up, I'd > appreciate it. > > Seems I can never be happy with my stereo system, but sometimes with > headphones I get really nice sound, and also, oddly enough, when my > "source" > is the TV I get really nice sound.

"the long and whining road" NJC Dear Em, It sounds like you've already put a lot of thought into this so this may be redundant. First of all, treble is highly directional so make sure that the tweeters are aligned in a horizontal plane with your ears at the listening position. I have Axioms too and love them; I highly doubt there is anything wired wrongly in them but they are an awesome company and fall over backwards to help their customers so an email to them may be helpful. Subwoofers are a bad idea in most small rooms. The physics of sound in small rooms, especially if their dimensions are equal (ie 12' x 12') is such that huge anomalies in bass frequencies occur, with often 12-20 db of boost in the low mids and bass being caused by the room. The subwoofer makes that far worse as that's all it puts out. That's why headphones sound better to you. Older albums tended to be mixed bass light (especially albums from the LP era) because pronounced bass made the needle jump. Modern CDs have none of that limitation and often have rich full bass, which sounds amazing in the properly tuned studio but awful in places like vans, cars with subs and small rooms. My guess is that your new albums that sound bass heavy are that way and the mids are getting overwhelmed by the bass. Lastly, there is I think a reaction to the hyped sizzle of modern pop mixes and some people (like myself) are trying to make a more gentle top end on their sound, which is less fatiguing. The downside is that by comparison to the heavily EQd mixes of many albums they sound dull. So get your tweeters raised to ear height, pointing right at you, turn off the subwoofer, and yes turn up a little treble on the receiver if you need to on albums that warrant it. The Axioms are quite natural sounding and not sizzly bright so they won't do it for you. And yes, as we get older our ears lose sensitivity in the high frequencies, especially if you spent your youth going to loud gigs and listening to headphones cranked up....sorry about that. I dread to think what the current generation's hearing will be like from having $5 earbuds stuffed into their ear canals playing highly distorted and over compressed music in lossy formats their whole childhood.

"the long and whining road" NJC Bob, Jerry and Dave, thanks so much for the responses. It makes me feel a little better. Bob, I'm sure that Richard Thompson CD really is excellent - yes I bought it on your recommendation, but I've heard great things from several others, too - so hopefully the tweaks I make will let it sound like it should. (and I expect to continue buying music based on your opinion as I've discovered some great stuff that way) Jerry, I'm so happy for you that you have an awesome car stereo now. Also thanks for corroborating what I thought to be true about that Tom Petty CD. Dave, that's great you have Axioms, too! I'm almost thinking of getting their M22 and selling the M3's (or using them in another room) Also thanks for the info re: subs in a small room. The thing is, since all these CD's are by older artists, I guess I would have thought the production used would be sort of more...hmm, what to call it... retro? old school? rather than the new type of sound I keep reading about. (compressed and with exaggerated bass) Anyway, thanks again - I am now encouraged to try some other things! also, I'm going to stop dis-trusting my own ears.

Lance emailed the website with this news: "Dish TV,has been showing a Time compilation of classic artists & their songs. Judy Collins is shown when Joni's Name is mentioned. Such bad treatment of a "Star of Her Magnitude" is a mistake that a company like" Time" can not be allowed to get away with. It runs at might under the listing of "James Taylor" in the on air program guide." Has anyone seen this? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:30:04 -0600 (MDT) From: TheStaff@JoniMitchell.com Subject: Video addition in the Library: Lifetime Achievement Award Interview Part 1 Another video has been added to the Library at JoniMitchell.com: Lifetime Achievement Award Interview Part 1 - Saskatoon 1993 View it here: http://jonimitchell.com/library/video.cfm?id=232 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 21:39:48 -0400 From: Subject: Winnipeg content but NJC Today at work, we were looking at a web page during a presentation to four people. The web page had a drop-down box with a list of states. Someone opened the drop-down and noticed "MB" among the list of states. "MB? What state has an abbreviation of MB?" I said, "Is there an SK too?" Sure enough, there the list included SK. I said, "They are Canadian provinces. MB is Manitoba and SK is Saskatchewan." I think I won the biggest geek award today. I couldn't be prouder. Mags, are you in Winnipeg, MB? Jim L'Hommedieu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:51:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Re: Judy as Joni? Hmm, that is indeed a shame but atleast they're not showing Bob Dylan when announcing Joni's name, ha. - -Mon ________________________________ From: Les Irvin To: joni@smoe.org Sent: Thu, October 28, 2010 9:24:35 PM Subject: Judy as Joni?
