OMG, Bluegrass!
Nice! Love that album. Its been on my Discogs want list for a long time. Many of my friends had it back in the 70's, but I never purchased a copy. Now they are $$$
|
@slaw
Yea, I would not use the 10+ gain. I run my MIMC at 60db and that is more than enough for the lo SS carts IMO. As I told you, I tried 64, but it was a tad too much. 60 is quieter. I also tried 55, but preferred no cranking the preamp up that much, albeit I could, and it would be more quiet as well. Peter recommends 58-64.

He has a new DAC that seems to be taking up much of his listening time (digital). He is really enjoying it, it seems.

Very nice album Steve. I’ve had it on CD for a long time, but the vinyl, well….😉

@dayglow
Both are really good. Concord is almost always excellent. I might give a slight advantage to the Gene Harris LP.

It was close. I wasn’t sure, so checked Discogs, and a live Gene Harris concert was the last vinyl from that period, #397. I’ve never heard it.

Tweaking my speaker placement today. I’ve been feeling like the soundstage wasn’t going beyond the outer edges of the speakers themselves enough, and too much between. Decreased the overall spread between about 2”. Then readjusted for equal level. Much better now.
Never ceases to Amaze how such small changes can make such a big impact on the overall stage in filling the room more naturally, wider, and making the speakers ‘disappear’.
|
@slaw
It’s interesting Steve, but I actually mover them even closer together, (probably closer to 3~4” vs 2), yet, the overall stage has became wider and provided a better overall stage. Yea, I kept wanting to spread them wider apart too….but….every room is different and constraints within every room can be too, especially as my listening room is a living room. Thus, I’m not sure there is only one way to accomplish the same thing, depending.
I know Jonny R at Audio Connection spreads ‘his’ Vandersteen’s very wide apart,(and suggested I do the same as well), extremely wide apart actually, but, problem is, I cannot do that in my room. Thus my solution to accomplish a better stage is actually the reverse. I guess if the issue can be resolved either way, that’s most important. Just listening to the differences and improvement is the key. I’ve moved the Treo’s, (and the 2CE’s prior), around a lot over time, but would say the variables are 6” total, max. At the end of the day, the room tells you what sounds best.

Robert Craft conducts ‘The Music of Arnold Schoenberg’ Vol. VI. Columbia Masterworks 2LP box, 1962

@slaw
Yep, in terms of placement from the ‘front’ wall, the Treo’s are about the same as the 2CE’s. Jim kept getting trying to get me to move them closer to the wall, I tried, but lost all center imaging when I did so. Moved them out into the room more like the 2CE’s and center imaging came right back.
Only tells ya that all rooms are different. I discussed this on the Vandy forum and Richard Vandersteen agreed, once you find the correct speaker placement within a room, the general ‘sweet spot’ rarely changes regardless of the speaker (Maggie’s might be the exception).

I meant "ticky"
Ahhh…..yes, as is mine. Frustrating.
In terms of the resisters, and being stubborn to change, 😁, yea, that’s how we can all be based on previous/past experience and assumptions to maintain the status quo.
