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

Jeff, you have to pick one!!! what your personal favorite???

yeah, that is what I was looking for Mojo. thanks. I get it now.

That's a good list Jeff, thank you

I tend to choose scenes from movies since the bulk of the music I listen to isn't mastered so well. I've already gushed about them both, but my two go-to UHD Blu-rays I pull out are Blade Runner 2049 and Sicario, which both happen to be directed by Denis Villeneuve. What can I say, he's good at making sure the soundtracks match the quality of the visuals. One of these days I'll compile a shortlist of songs that solidly demonstrate what my system is capable of. I'm kind of hoping enough musicians latch onto Dolby Atmos as a format for new releases. I'd loooove if we could move past basic stereo as the standard, even if a stereo mix will always be required. Speaking of which, has anyone listened to this on Amazon Music HD yet?

CV, clicked on your link, no audio. Also, is your UHD that much better than typical sampling from youtube or Spotify? Say yes, and i'm buying a DVD player... it's been awhile. Can you provide the times in 2049 and Sacario that you audition too?

The link was just the news about their release. I haven't actually tried to listen to the album on Amazon Music HD since I don't pay for that. Who here has that service?

And yes, the audio on UHD Blu-ray is at the top of what I've been able to experience on my system. That much better than Blu-ray? Probably not, since I'm only referencing movies that I don't have normal Blu-rays of. I'm sure part of it is a psychological advantage. But both Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray give me more warm fuzzies in my ears than DVD ever did, as well as any normal stereo music I listen to. With regard to the last, it's hard to know how much is due to mixing for surround versus general mixing practices of movies compared to music.

I'll have to get back to you on this. Looks like I'll be using notebooks and pens now.

What kind of pen? Tell me about your pen.......

My God, it’s full of stars......

Ha ha. Maybe the Fisher Space Pen so I can listen upside-down. Okay, so I use my Zebra F-701 most of the time.
