The visuals did not have to have anything to do with the song and just watching musicians play the music was not enough. So someone came out with MTV. That was the end of music becoming popular because it was a good song. Now you heard the song (which may have sucked) but in you mind were these chicks wearing as little as they could get away with and of course they were near perfect 10's. Suddenly you had a hit. What does the M in MTV sand for. Because it certainly doesn't mean music. Maybe muscle or meat. Macho?? Mammary??

I though air got thinner (less dense) when it gets warm. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 January 2001 00:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MD: Carver Fire Why would a stereo sound better with the fireplace lit? I suspect this has nothing to do with the crackling sound of a fire. ( just fry your speakers and you'll get all the crackle you want) :-) But it has everything to do with the room temperature. This sound improvement is very plausable, as the room gets warmer, the air thickens, and higher frequencies tend to sound warmer as well. Try this in your cold car...turn your stereo up when the car is cold and listen to a track. Turn the stereo off and allow the heater to warm up the car and play the same track/ same volume. It will sound noticably better. Are you sure Carver was not adding " fireplace EQ" which would simulate the audio tone of a warm room? Seems more plausable than adding sounds of a crackling fire! If I heard such a thing I'd pull the plug out of the wall and call 911! :-)Mark Dottle - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Carver Fire
No. It had nothing to do with the temperature of the room. It had to do with so some that is in the background when a fireplace is on. I read about this system some time ago. Evidently the "improvement" in sound was not shared by audiophiles since we don't hear anything about it today.
