| the paradox of accurate speakers Hello, Hi Shadorne I just wanted to make a small correction on the 2001 reference. The large black monolithic slab is just that, a monolith. An obelisk is a "tall. four sided stone pillar tapering towards its pyramidal top". A monolith is a "singl... | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? Hi, yes, I am using Acoustat 6 with Acoustat direct drive tube amps. I have owned the 6's for close to 20 years and prior to that a pair of Acoustat 3. They are indestructible and I plan on listening to them till I can no longer breathe.Bob | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? Dazzdax zaid "The Beveridge sound beautiful with every music and with every recording, good or bad. The soundstage is a bit peculiar: it's as if there is one soundstage and one recorded space which is quite similar with different recordings". "But... | |
| Subsonic filter wish and a solution Hello,mono-ing at at a selected freq reduces/eliminates rumble, which is different from subsonics (below 20hz). You really need both but it is system dependent. My answer is you need a 20hz filter and a rumble filter at a selected freq. With the r... | |
| A better record cleaning brush than the vpi brush Hello, yes it is crap, get some Last brushes and rotate the platter by hand. Use a short back and forth motion with the brush in the other hand.Bob | |
| Monitor SPL vs. Full-Range SPL Here is a good start to help understanding play back levels. Including testing level and reasons for that level. http://replaygain.hydrogenaudio.org/calibration.htmlBob | |
| Monitor SPL vs. Full-Range SPL Hi CDC, You are correct and what you are driving at is very important. If you are listening to your system at a reference signal of 83db at 1000hz and your system goes to 50hz the overall SPL of white noise (or music) will be less than if your sys... | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic Hi Dr Mechams says, "I grew up on horns still enjoy tem for those got to hear it lOUD moments."Crank it up dude!Bob | |
| Reference level playback HI JPV, It is an ongoing thing with MDs and nurses. Really an inside joke. Sure they are "smarter" than us no doubt, when it comes to "doctoring", but they need us as much as we need them. It is though, just such a PIA waiting for them to call bac... | |
| Reference level playback Hi Buffyjames, I am not sure we are on the same track. You say "each time I play a piece the dynamics change" but the dynamics do not change for a LP, it is a constant. Are you refering to live music? We are reproducing a recording. Sure some LPs ... | |
| Reference level playback Hello,Mechams wrote, "BTW the length of many of your posts tells me something else. Since you are so very clever and well informed, a comedian and a wordsmith and a medical professional. Please tell me what that is a sign of."Hi Mechams, it is a s... | |
| Reference level playback Hi Vincentkkho, nice analogy and it does work very well with our audio reproduction. If you do indeed think about it. If a film has a red or blue hue to it all of you pictures will be like that. If your lens is out of focus all of your pictures ar... | |
| Reference level playback Hi Inpepinnovations, I am sorry you "did not get it" (the inside joke) it was in reference to "Dr." Mechans remarks to me in several of his posting in this thread. I hope no offense was taken and I am in no way trying to diagnose you or insult you... | |
| Reference level playback Hi Wgh, I dont feel I have stripped all emotion from my LPs and turned it into a science project, just the opposite. While I am on my search for "great" recordings, and apparently all recordings are great if you just twiddle the knobs enough, and ... | |
| Reference level playback Hi Inpepinnovations, I must say that I like your idea though I have a few problems with it for the way I listen. I dont believe this works for me, but I will keep it in mind. Marking every record for the last 40 years.Where is the good doctor when... |
