Fire sign theatre did something that cd will never accomplish. they put out 
an album that one record had three sides. Side two was grooved in a way that 
when the needle was set in one groove to get side two then the next groove 
over for side three. As a blind person this could raise havack.

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

2010-01-02 Thread DJ DOCTOR P

High Adrian,
It's not an LP, it's just a long playing record with the same song on it 
over and over again.
On the other side of it, is just the song with just the backup singers with 
the lead singer removed.

Some of those tracks, don't have any singers of any kind at all!
This record was imported from Japanned in March 5, 1965.
As I stated in an earlier post, these are my parents and grand parent's old 
records.

I think this one, belonged to my father.
How he got his hands on it, is way be-on me.
My best regards.
 John.

John,

Perhaps I shouldn't question an artifact you can check against, but the 
date makes no historical sense. Brian Wilson began formulating "good 
vibrations" some time during the "Pet Sounds" sessions. As an aside, you 
can hear stereo mixes of the rehearsals in the box set, "The Pet Sounds 
Sessions." The Pet Sounds LP wasn't released until May of 1966, and "good 
Vibrations" came out several months later.


No Beach Boys albums appeared in stereo up to that time because Brian 
Wilson was deaf in one ear and seems to have had complete control over 
production, which in every other way was a good thing. Surgery apparently 
restored some hearing in the deaf ear, and "Friends," three albums later, 
came out in stereo. In the past two decade, stereo remixes of Beach Boys 
material at their height have appeared in drips and drabs, the best being 
on that Pet sounds Sessions box set, which includes a wonderful stereo 
remix of the album itself.


Regarding the Beatles Stereo Set, something to keep in mind is that 
Capital's versions of the Beatles albums not only differed in content from 
those released in the UK, but the LPs were also, I believe, inferior in 
quality. The stereo set's "Sergeant Pepper's" is light years ahead of the 
US LP. I don't have the UK LP of that album. However, I have the UK 
"Beetles for Sale" LP, and it compares favorably with the stereo set 
version. Still, the stereo set is very well done, the sound is terrific, 
and the convenience of a CD undeniably surpasses that of an LP.

Yes good vibrations was supposed to be on smile until it got scrapped. Brian 
had the song and was busy recording it in 4 studios. However officially no 
stereo version existed until the bootlegs started coming out. There were 
several mock stereo version using overdubs from an alternate take of good 
vibrations.

High Sunshine,
Vacuum tube stereo receivers have been discontinued cense 1967.
But however, there are still some integrated amplifiers on the market that 
uses tubes, but they are very costly.

They are $5000 and up.
But you can get a very low powered tube integrated amp from:
www.tubedepot.com
for about $200.
I would like to see how the plug ins you spoke of works.
I have Winamp 5.571
If you can, would you please send them to me?
Thinks in advance for doing this for me.

Hi how do this plug ins or this dsp bridge effect the sound in winamp?
If I had it and first played one of my mp3's just using winamp on its own.
Then played that same file using that bridge would I notice a sound 
difference from when I played the file when I wasn't using it and or over 
when I played it when I was using it?
And also what all configuring need to be done to get it to sound nice and 
what settings do you need to set to get the best quality out of it?

Also where do you get these files from and are they free?

High Norma,
That is true.
I don't know about the boomers you spoke of, but I am still a record 
collector.

I collect allot of jazz records.
You can get them either way.
You can get them on LP or CD.
But to my ears, the LP's sound a whole lot better.
The newest amp that I have, is an Eastern Electric M-520 integrated vacuum 
tube amp that I bought almost 2 years ago.
But most of my sound equipment, is vintage equipment that my parents had 
when they were alive.
When they passed on, I got it and restored it all to working order so that I 
could use it.

My best regards.

No, I was talking about music discs.
SACD, AKA, super audio compact disc, is record in AC3 encoding with a64 bit

But in order to play those, you will need a SACD player.
You can also find that at your loco hi end stereo shop too as well.

High Sunshine,
Try any high end stereo shop in your area.
They run somewhere in between $25 $30.
My best regards.

High Sunshine,
I still have one of those old vacuum tube systems.
What you said about the CD, is true on one hand.
But on the other hand, it isn't.
Some CD's, are being recorded at 32 bits with PCM encoding which yields a
way better sound.
But however, they are only sailing them to the AUDIO PHIAL people.
The sound quality of CD's that are made like that, are top notch.
But don't expect to find CD's like these in WAL-MART, you won't find them
there.
I had allot of luck finding them at a specialty stereo shop.
My best regards.
 John.
PS. I still have a pare of those speakers, they sound really nice!

you know brent, and others.
todays music systems that are purely digital, are a bit if not totally
disapointing.
from what i know aabout digital  files such as those that are made from
cds.
the  quality is what you get, if i  remember correctly the underlying
actuall, audio is a wav file that has been made in 16 bit, 44100 khz
standards such as the red book standard.
The tube sound or vacume tube/valve sound of the earlier systems, made
sound
quality stars above any digital sounding system i have heard.
I am in my 30's and can remember a lot of stereo equipment from those
days.
what i would love to see is a very high quality audio file stereo system
with  ripping aviable in the unit, with a way to transfer the ripped
files
to a portable device/ or computer.
Also on another note digital speakers vs analog speakers i will take the
analog speakers over the digital ones any day.
the frequency response of a pure analog speaker system also sounds much
better.
does anyone remember the panasonic thruster 750's? for analog speakers?

Also at the same time, you couldn't buy music on open reels anymore

High Tom,
Just as long as I can get my hands on replacement vacuum tubes, I'll keep 
this old receiver going for many years.
My father ran it strait for about 20 years before any work had to be done on 
it.

Nock on wood, I ran it strait for about 15 years without any problems.
But just in case a tube blows out, I have some replacement tubes on hands to 
get it back working again.

My best regards.

No, a subwoofer is a stand alone speaker that specifically concentrates on 
bass output. they can be passive (no amp) or active (has its own 
amplification) they are made to enhance the bass of your other speakers.

High Sunshine,
I still have one of those old vacuum tube systems.
What you said about the CD, is true on one hand.
But on the other hand, it isn't.
Some CD's, are being recorded at 32 bits with PCM encoding which yields a
way better sound.
But however, they are only sailing them to the AUDIO PHIAL people.
The sound quality of CD's that are made like that, are top notch.
But don't expect to find CD's like these in WAL-MART, you won't find them
there.
I had allot of luck finding them at a specialty stereo shop.
My best regards.
 John.
PS. I still have a pare of those speakers, they sound really nice!

todays music systems that are purely digital, are a bit if not totally

from what i know aabout digital  files such as those that are made from

the  quality is what you get, if i  remember correctly the underlying
actuall, audio is a wav file that has been made in 16 bit, 44100 khz
standards such as the red book standard.
The tube sound or vacume tube/valve sound of the earlier systems, made
sound
quality stars above any digital sounding system i have heard.
I am in my 30's and can remember a lot of stereo equipment from those
days.
what i would love to see is a very high quality audio file stereo system
with  ripping aviable in the unit, with a way to transfer the ripped 
files

to a portable device/ or computer.
Also on another note digital speakers vs analog speakers i will take the
analog speakers over the digital ones any day.
the frequency response of a pure analog speaker system also sounds much
better.
does anyone remember the panasonic thruster 750's? for analog speakers?

I think the change took place in the mid 80's when CD's replaced 8 track
tapes.
Also at the same time, you couldn't buy music on open reels anymore
either.
To me, the open real tapes sounded a whole lot better then 8 track and

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

2009-12-31 Thread Brett Boyer
When I went to a studio. I saw a guy playing drums by dragging and dropping 
beats I almost crapped myself. I'm not talking about electronic music with 
sampling or remixing. This guy had a regular drummer who came in and hit 
certain drums and this guy drew the beats together.

Then I knew the days of pure music are over.

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

2009-12-31 Thread DJ DOCTOR P

High Tom,
This is why I'm still using my father's stereo receiver.
It is more then 50 years old.
The phono stage in all of these newer receivers, I found to be a joke.
They can't reproduce the high quality sound that comes from my Fisher 500-s 
receiver.

Oh ya, this receiver has vacuum tubes in it.
No transistors anywhere in sight.
This is the reason I'm keeping it working and operational because I love its 
sound.

Today's stereo and surround receivers, can't come close to even touching it.
My best regards.

my JVC stereo receiver; when it gets to a certain point, instead of the 
sound continuing to taper off, it just "cuts off completely!"

I think the change took place in the mid 80's when CD's replaced 8 track
tapes.
Also at the same time, you couldn't buy music on open reels anymore 
either.

To me, the open real tapes sounded a whole lot better then 8 track and

High George,
How are you going about doing that?
Are you using anything that has tubes in it?
I'm asking because that is the only way you will be able to do that.
You can do it in analog first, then go to digital.
This is how I mix everything down in my own recording studio.

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

2009-12-30 Thread DJ DOCTOR P

High Sunshine,
I am incline to agree with you.
In the 60's and 70's, allot of the recordings were made on recording 
equipment that had vacuum tubes in it.

This is where that warm deep sound came from.
There are still peaces of equipment that could be bought today that still 
uses vacuum tubes to enhance the recording of music.
But it all falls apart when the signal goes in to either a computer and or a 
CD recorder.

Because those machines, converts the signal from analog to digital.
The only way to counter react that is, to put the tubes on the input and the 
output of the computer's sound card and or the CD recorder.
As far as CD recorders for both studio and hi phi use, no manufacturer has 
thought about doing that yet.
Because if they did, the music would sound a whole lot better then it would 
without the tubes not being in the signal path.

My best regards.
 John.

High Tom,
I wasn't born in the 60's, I was born in 1972.
But however, I have allot of old records that my mom dad grandpa and grandma 
had.

My record collection goes all the way back to the mid 20's.
But oh yes, I get what you are talking about.
Some jazz musicians are trying to bring that 50's/60's sound back, but I 
don't think they're doing to well with it.

But to me, it sounds really cool!
But somehow, MP3's leaves something more to be desired.
I wish there was a portable media player that could play ape wave and or any 
other lossless audio files.

High Vicky,
No, the voice is always in the middle.
It just gives better separation of the other instruments.
It is like having the keyboards in one speaker, the percussions in the other
speaker.
While the drums and bass are pan to both speakers.
In the late 50's and early 60's, that is how early stereo was recorded.
The music in one speaker, while the voices were in the other speaker.
In the mid to late 60's, they got away from that.
Putting the voices in the middle is pretty much the norm and has been cense
1965.
Hope this helps you.

Hi, When you say, "Better separation", does this separate voices into one
speaker and the music into the other?  I wouldn't like that.

However, when I had a base and treble equalizer, I could bring specific
sounds into prominence, which I really liked.  Sadly, it died.

My understanding is that joint stereo is a psychoacoustic trick to try and
make lower bit rate encoded files sound better in terms of their channel
separation.  I don't believe the monoblock analogy is strictly correct.  All
the advice I have seen is to use normal stereo for decent encoded files at
bit rates of 192kbps and higher and only use the joint stereo psychoacoustic
trick on very poor files encoded at lower bit rates.

I'd be suspicious of Winamp then if you're saying that you're choosing
stereo rather than joint but Winamp keeps telling  you that your results are
joint.  Have you checked by looking at the properties in windows explorer or
any other programs that provide  MP3 file informaition?

The problem I'm having is that my system won't produce regular stereo.
Everything comes out in joint and variable bit rate regardless of software
settings.  It's Winamp which I'm using to tell me what my stats on a
particular file happen to be.  Any thoughts?
Thanks.

My understanding is that joint stereo is a psychoacoustic trick to try and
make lower bit rate encoded files sound better in terms of their channel
separation.  I don't believe the monoblock analogy is strictly correct.  All
the advice I have seen is to use normal stereo for decent encoded files at
bit rates of 192kbps and higher and only use the joint stereo psychoacoustic
trick on very poor files encoded at lower bit rates.

High George,
Joint stereo is, like you have a pare of speakers, but you have a mono block
amplifier on each one.
Regular stereo, is having those same pare of speakers hooked up to a stereo
amplifier.
The joint stereo, gives better stereo channel separation then the regular
stereo.
Hope this helps.

Hi all!
I have a question which is making me curious. when I'm converting wave to
mp3 in a convertion program or so, I can see something called joint stereo,
and I can also choose if I would like to have it in joint stereo or just
stereo.
my question is, what's the difference between joint stereo and stereo, I
can't seem to hear any difference at all there.

I have it sat to normal stereo and constant bit rate for highest quality

Yeah..and now it doesn't even have that same intensity anymore; when I 
listen to a stereo recording, it almost sounds now like the same instruments 
are coming through both channels!  Not so in the 60s; fact is..if you didn't 
have both speakers on, you didn't get all the instrumentation!

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

2009-12-29 Thread DJ DOCTOR P

High Vicky,
No, the voice is always in the middle.
It just gives better separation of the other instruments.
It is like having the keyboards in one speaker, the percussions in the other 
speaker.

While the drums and bass are pan to both speakers.
In the late 50's and early 60's, that is how early stereo was recorded.
The music in one speaker, while the voices were in the other speaker.
In the mid to late 60's, they got away from that.
Putting the voices in the middle is pretty much the norm and has been cense 
1965.

Hope this helps you.
My best regards.
 John.

Hi, When you say, "Better separation", does this separate voices into one
speaker and the music into the other?  I wouldn't like that.

However, when I had a base and treble equalizer, I could bring specific
sounds into prominence, which I really liked.  Sadly, it died.

Regular stereo, is having those same pare of speakers hooked up to a stereo
amplifier.
The joint stereo, gives better stereo channel separation then the regular
stereo.
Hope this helps.

Subject: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo


Hi all!
I have a question which is making me curious. when I'm converting wave to
mp3 in a convertion program or so, I can see something called joint stereo,
and I can also choose if I would like to have it in joint stereo or just
stereo.
my question is, what's the difference between joint stereo and stereo, I
can't seem to hear any difference at all there.
Regards,
Jörgen Hansson!

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

2009-12-28 Thread Kevin Lloyd
I'd be suspicious of Winamp then if you're saying that you're choosing 
stereo rather than joint but Winamp keeps telling  you that your results are 
joint.  Have you checked by looking at the properties in windows explorer or 
any other programs that provide  MP3 file informaition?

The problem I'm having is that my system won't produce regular stereo.
Everything comes out in joint and variable bit rate regardless of software
settings.  It's Winamp which I'm using to tell me what my stats on a
particular file happen to be.  Any thoughts?
Thanks.

My understanding is that joint stereo is a psychoacoustic trick to try and
make lower bit rate encoded files sound better in terms of their channel
separation.  I don't believe the monoblock analogy is strictly correct.  All
the advice I have seen is to use normal stereo for decent encoded files at
bit rates of 192kbps and higher and only use the joint stereo psychoacoustic
trick on very poor files encoded at lower bit rates.

something doesnt seem right there because you can control in the software 
the type of bitrates, and stereo types. and once those are saved then they 
dont change. i am using itunes. and all my settings are saved perminently.

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

2009-12-26 Thread Dane Trethowan
As a footnote to this I'm sure I've read somewhere in the LAME documentation 
that Joint Stereo should be used for encoding at variable and lower bit rates 
so perhaps your explanation of joint stereo below goes some way to explaining 
this statement .
