Production vs Reproduction (aka MI vs HIFI)

Here is a link to the site of a person who seems to agree with Don about the value of low dynamic compression. It?s in French so if you are not a French speaker you will need to use babble fish and muddle through some funny translation but, as babble fish would explain, ?your understanding of the bass reflex camera will not be less? you can also find a link to a spread sheet on this site with the hard to find ts parameters for the Altec 416-8A among others.

If you want to try another avenue for total ?you are there" reproduction, don?t overlook binaural. A good set of phones and a decent amp will blow your mind. Just don?t move your head too much with your eyes closed.

3 years from collecting SSI and declining hearing, I have long past the point where more money will produce noticeably better sounding results.
JBL 4411s in my small office are more than enough just a short length of ordinary zip cord to be
powered by a marantz 240B, Mac preamp & CD.
plenty of sound and no need to adopt the latest fad.
but have at it. that last bit perfection is just around the next bend in the solid gold wire.
