I was doing some bench work on vintage stereos while laid off back in the 90’s. I used the beginning of “Round About” I recorded and repeated on a cassette tape to tune the Finals in. Worked great and cheaper than a signal generator LOL.

Your ears and Aram Khatchaturian: "Sabre Dance" from "Gayane“ will tell you all you need to know about the performance of your ears and sound-reproducing hardware.

As usual for people on FR, I won’t actually read the article, but if it doesn’t mention anything (literally any song) off Boston’s first album, it’s just wrong.
That album was an audio masterpiece.

Dire Straits Money for Nothing is absolutely the best. It takes great fidelity to reproduce a sawtooth wave and keep it sounding so raspy.
To: AndyJackson
Money For Nuthin is one of my Go-To’s for mix and/or master reference. No matter how loud you crank it, it always, just sounds amazing. A Masterpiece for sure!

Tom Petty, “Learning to Fly (Live)”
Yes! I just did this and you can almost see how big the stadium was. Very cool effect

The quiet parts of the music are just as important as the noise.

Amar Bose genius was to understand 40 something men, who have money, have hearing loss in specific frequencies. If you use an equalizer to boost those frequencies, old men with money think they sound great. Bose 901’s and all the subsequent bose trash are sonic abonimations.

"Eve" from 1979 is my favorite APP album.
Women mystified and confounded me just as much then as they do today.

“ Boston’s first album,”
masterpiece is a bit strong but I’ll agree with 8 hits, no misses. Soundtrack for my younger days. 💯

MFN cost me a fortune. Showed up the clear difference between a set of standard speakers and electrostatic speakers. Dire Straits owes me a bombshell for that.
To: The Louiswu
My niece was at that show.
I’ve always thought that having the audience sing your song to you is probably one of the highest compliments a band could have.
If you like Petty and the audience effect, you should listen to Breakdown, when they played live at the Wiltern in 1985. It’s my favorite live version of that song.
