 Topic: how do you listen to prog ?
Posted: November 29 2005 at 18:28 |
All of us love prog rock. Try to tell me how are you listening to music
? I prefer headphones, because i can hear all details which i cant hear
in hifi. Headphones - Koss porta pro - really super headphones with
great bass. I have bought 1gb mp3 player i-river. There is 3D effect,
so it is really wonderful sound. I can listen aprox. 20 albums in the
mp3 format during travelling or sleeping. And of course, my computer is
the base of mine :). Do you think that mp3 (in higher bitrate 192, 256,
328) format is ok ? I think that there is not big difference between
higher bitrate mp3 and wave.
Anyway try to tell me how do you listen to prog ?  (hifi or computer, headhpones or speakers, etc. you know...

I use headphones when I listen to CD's on my CD-player.
It depends when im on my computer; sometimes headphones, but mostly speakers.

I prefer headphones, because the music is so much more intimate and its
alot easier to hear particular details. But theres nothing wrong with
blaring it full volume on a stereo!
I usually take my music EVERYWHERE with me, whether it be my ipod or cd player...

On the big floor speakers when at home, and headphones outside.
I also like to listen to music while wandering on the mountain trails

exactly..... my wife gives me hell, that I can't even do the dishes
without putting 'that music' on. Pretty much listen to it any
chance I have. With so much variety, listen to 2 or 3 albums a
day, could go months without repeating. Love prog, never going
back to meer rock and roll.

I don't think I go anywhere without my mp3 player. I do prefer listening at home though, where I can actually concentrate on the music.

Computer- IPOD- Car- essential

That brings up another question. Are there any songs that always demand your full attention, - no reading - no working - just listening ! ?. For me, amongst many are CTTE, Supper's Ready and TAAB. I would hate to think what might happen if I listened to those whilst driving

Zarathrustra for me, I get so caught up in the 'air' keyboards
that I would suffer severe personal injury if I tried listening to that
at work or in the car.

much.

I believe the best way to enjoy prog music, or any other kind of rock music, is listening through loudspeakers, although some of you may say that the sound can be perceived better by using headphones, and all that.
I own a Panasonic CD Stereo System which I have installed in my room. This includes two front loudspeakers, one center speaker, and two rear speakers. The sound is so powerful, and it really gives you that feeling when playing to any kind of music, specially prog rock, which is the most I listen to.
Now, for experiencing the best video-audio quality, I use my home theater audio system which is also installed in my room. This includes two front speakers, one center speaker, two rear speakers, and one subwoofer.
I like to play my CDs, or DVDs, mostly at night, around 8 o'clock. That way I can relax better in my room and listen to music without being disturbed by other people...
