Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

Vogue by Madonna. If you don't hear surround while in stereo, and you can identify where the speakers are, then you either need different speakers, different speaker positioning or a different room. Simply amazing recording.

Neato!

Blacktop Mojo.

I bought their last CD after hearing a song on Pandora. Just good, clean rock. Has a slight southern rock kinda sound. Now I need to buy their first two CD's.

Mojo needs to buy it for the obvious reasons......

I like it. Thanks.

BTW, this Blacktop Mojo is an excellent example of a tall-sounding recording. This height is achieved by creating contrast in the opposite ends of the frequency spectrum. Bloat the bass a bit and make the highs bloomy and BAM! Instant inflation in the height.

This is what I'm listening/watching tonight, thought it was cool enough to share... not too many videos on nuclear subs, especially in 2020.

It's cool but man it would be so better with imaging and a soundstage.

This is pretty cool. Huge width. Listening at -20 on the actives and it sounds capacious.

I may have gotten this track from someone here on the forum or it’s been shared already but it’s on my frequent flier list. So cool. The whole album is pretty cool.

Yeah...you got that one from me.

Careful with that one.

Oh ha ha. Yeah I figured it might have been you.

I’m super careful with that one. I do have concern about blowing a tweeter at high spl with my limited headroom. It’s been a good track to find where on my yammie I can go to for high spl ( for my system ) and not have it get grainy and confused. It’s actually quite a bit lower than you’d think , especially in my MLP which is quite a ways back.

I did try putting the m60s quite far out from the wall and closer together and I moved a touch closer, things get what I think I’d call holographic. It’s really cool. The speakers do actually disappear. But only with certain tracks the are mixed/ mastered/ recorded really well( whatever the correct word is). These well made tracks sound like they have more gain and clarity and all volumes. The quality of the recording REALLY matters in my experience.
