• Cranked the volume up last night to listen to The The - Infected. System really comes alive when it's a bit louder, must make the most of no neighbours for the next wee while.

    The production on The The stuff is so nice. I think my love of art rock, new wave, post punk etc has been enhanced by how good toms and percussion sound on the Tannoy & sealed sub combo.

  • Don’t, I’m missing my subs! Percussion really is transformed innit. I’ve grown to really love live recordings since I added them.

  • Just picked up a sealed sub to go with my B&W 685s and Naim amps. In the process of altering & extending our new place so not going to be able to listen properly for a few months but looking forward to it. Focusing on acoustic insulation at the mo so I can listen to music properly!

  • Yeah it is, its all well and good having great gear, but when the music was recorded/mastered on the cheap it shows! And the better your system, the more it really shows.
    Taking some of my favourite tracks to a mates house (before all of 2020 happened) who has an epic setup, utterly ruined them, now I always remember how just dull and flat they sounded, well, bit of an exaggeration but you know what I mean, don't meet your heroes....

    On the other hand, Tidal/other streaming platforms have been great, can quickly just jump into something I'd not normally choose, and get it in good quality (often remastered or updated in some way).
