I brought up age simply to point out that most people grow and change as they age and therefore have no desire to recreate the exact moments that they have already lived, and to expect an artist to want to recreate something from their youth 40 years later is unrealistic. I wasn’t was trying...

I never understand this need some people have to have a band repeat themselves. If they want Powerslave, we thankfully have Powerslave and can listen to it any time. I’m not in love with everything Maiden puts out, but I’m happy that they aren’t trying to put out the same thing over and over...

Right! If you had told me in 1986 while I was anxiously waiting for my dad to get home to drive me to the record store to buy the new Maiden album (it had been a whopping 2 year wait since Powerslave was released, lol) that we would still be getting new Maiden in 2021, I would have thought you...

I went to pick up my morning coffee a little while ago and there were two kids in line, probably around 15 discussing “how awesome“ the new maiden track is. I may not love the song, but it’s great (and a bit surreal) to see kids fervently discussing newly released Maiden material the same way...

Thanks a lot, I had managed to wipe Weekend Warriors from my memory for the past 29 years until just now. Bringing home NPFTD on release day and hearing it was the first time I experienced feeling that level of disappointment with a new album from a band I loved.

Sometimes how I view a song can change based on how it fits into album. It’s not a conscious choice, but one of those things where a song you didn’t like can fit so perfectly on an album that you come to appreciate it more. I’m curious what surrounds this song on the album.

I am familiar with the article and understand the science and math behind it. I wasn’t making a claim of, “I have magic ears and can hear the difference between the formats in an A/B test”. I was never making that argument, I simply took issue with the blanket statement that 24/96=bad, while...

Thank You. Sometimes I think I went overboard, but I no longer feel the need to upgrade components.

Posting an article that simply questions whether a format is silly or not, that has been refuted many times, does not mean it sounds worse. No point in getting into the “Golden Ear” argument here though, there are plenty of forums that do that.

Thats simply not true, not sure where you would get that idea from, especially on systems designed to handle that. In this case, Aurender N20—>Chord MScaler—>Chord Dave—>Sim Audio Moon 340i—>Paradgim Persona 9H’s in an acoustically treated room. But again, no idea why you state that bit and...

Like the song, the video is fine, the production is an absolute mess and the mastering is absolutely brickwalled, yet again. No way the DR on this album is any higher than a 9. Listening to the 24 bit 96kHz on Qobuz on a reference system that is not friendly to bad recordings.

What I meant about about over the ear earphones was simply that I don't have much experience with the type that are compatible with an MP3 player.  The models I own, Beyer Dynamic DT 990's, AGK 701's, and Beyer Dynamic T1's specifically simply have too high of an impedance to work with an MP3...

Yeah the RE0's are not for bassheads.  They do have bass, and it sounds great but it is definitely not boosted in anyway.  The Hippo's are a really good choice in that price range if you are looking for something that emphasizes bass.  Also the type of tip you use has a large effect on how the...

I think if you have ear problems you should probably stay away from in ears, though I'm not sure exactly what you mean by ear congestion.  The Monster Turbines work on the same principal as other IEM's.  You need to use the proper size tip to create a complete seal in the ear and it should...

Re: The best Headphones for Iron Maiden :D If you are in the US Amazon is having a huge sale on the 2 Monster headphones.  The Coppers are usually $400 and they are going for $225 and the Golds for under $200.  The Audio Technicas look like they are out of stock every where currently.  That...

Re: The best Headphones for Iron Maiden :D I have no clue what your price range is, but if your talking good quality like you said then; Monster Turbine Copper Edition Monster Turbine Gold Edition (Cheaper than the Coppers, though not as analytical, they are a bit more colored with more...

Vai has no musical value, melody, or feel?  Come on man, the guy is far more than a shredder.  He is a complete musician. Only in rock in metal is having developed speed and superb technique looked down on and equated with lack of feel.  Having a high degree of technique is a requisite in many...

There actually is a touch of reverb on his voice, and depending on the song it's more noticeable in certain instances.  It's easier to hear with a good pair of headphones, but it's there, his vocals are not completely dry.  I fully agree though that some more reverb and layering would have been...

Good post, though I don't fully agree with your assessment of Blackmore over Murray at that time.  Also deserving of mention in the conversation of 1970's hard rock guitarists who were as good as Page and Blackmore are Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth.  And though he wasn't as revered as the...

I don't know about PRS man, sorry.  I had a friend who had a deal with Mesa Boogie and he had to pay a percentage above cost for his gear.  Same thing with a buddy who had an  endorsement with one of the major cymbal manufactures, I think he had to pay 10% above cost.  I'm sure those numbers...
