Videos - oomph, tympani, menace, power

[Daro]

Sounds good. Didn't catch what the recording is? Also, your front wall artwork needs straightening! Come on!

thanks, it's from the vibrations it's straight now

Here's some more Mahler menace: Sym#6 - Scherzo - Chicago- Haitink.
I recorded the first 2:25, but the whole 14 minutes is fascinating to me. Mahler at his inventive best, imo.

Some brief high frequency peaks sound harsh to me here (less so in the room).

We need another video to verify that.

thanks, I don't think Airplay is more musical, I use ethernet and bluetooth for streaming with similar satisfaction, but I actually prefer when this "Yazaki" plays via bluetooth, the rest of my dacs and streamers play via ethernet cable

Interesting, the bluetooth probably filters out the digital nasties embedded in most digital recordings, you could be onto a winner! The track below you played that sounds good on your bluetooth setup is pretty much unlistenable via my headphone rig, how does it sound on your non Bluetooth setup?

Jordi Savall, Manfredo Kraemer, Pablo Valetti, Antonio Vivaldi & Le Concert des Nations - Concerto pour 2 violons et viole de gambe en sol mineur, RV 578: I. Adagio e spiccato – Allegro

Hi Rexp thanks
but "winner" - no kidding it only plays well
I changed the source - now a good streamer and dac, completely different sound presentation, 1543 vs pcm63, possible difference also in volume, both dacs have different output voltage

Yup, this one's more messy, I'm not normally a fan of bluetooth but at this point I'd consider any option that enabled me to enjoy more digital recordings.

I'm glad you like the bluetooth in this recording, a few of my friends use it as an additional sound source and almost all of them were skeptical about bluetooth before, me too

AFAIK, lossless transmission of 16/44.1 is so far not yet possible with Bluetooth, is this correct?

it's possible, I don't know anything technically, by ear it's ok

I can't imagine what about this track makes it "pretty much unlistenable"?? It sounds good here - Qobuz.

Your version is a little shy on bass. It lacks a little bit of weight. What do you think ?

Could be. My sonic preference has always been less rather than more bass, but it might be something to look into.

 

[tima]

it would be good if posted videos had some relationship to the thread title.

Precisely my point. There should be more "oomph" in Wil's video.

But more seriously, have you listened to Vivaldi?

Here's the track: https://storage.googleapis.com/cloudplayer/samples/Vivaldi.flac

It is an excellent track to test "oomph".

 

[hopkins]

Your video on the other hand has "oomph" but some of the frequencies seem a little aggressive and distorted (could be the phone recording+room - it is suprising how much of the room one can hear with these phone recordings). It's Vivaldi not Metallica

Yes it does sound good, probably a different version?

well, not always a recording with a phone sounds perfect
but the fact is I like very dynamic and open sound

for a Metallica recording I would use my big Meyer Sound studio monitors, Metallica concerts on MS speakers - for an audiophile rather too shocking dynamics for a home stereo

Yes, that's the problem with these phone recordings - definitely far from perfect. The sound is dynamic and open!

I think if we married the lower registers of Daro's video with the upper strings, which maybe are a bit thin but very silky, of yours it might be close to ideal. I do, however, think the dyanmics of the Daro recording are also more realistic.
