| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Mapman,Do you find any digital enjoyable when you hear it played on your gear? How about other gear?Certainly! What do you mean by 'other gear'?Raul:IMHO any single open reel machine ( and I say any. ) has several failures. Yes, it is the best ana... | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? In the world of musical instrument amps class D has made huge inroads for bass players and also keyboards, because they are a lot lighter.But to say that they sound better is another thing! Even with the highly inaccurate speakers that are common ... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Vinyl is pretty easy to find these days since the CD is dying.Mapman, It sounds like you did not understand my posts from your responses! I suggest re-reading them, especially the one in which I mentioned the sweep tones (don't think for a second ... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm The question is- not is the cantilever straight now, but is it straight the whole time the cartridge is tracking? If you can see it flex side to side even a tiny bit, then a radial tracker or the Rabco will have lower 'tracking distortion'. | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? In this case, by 'sounds better' I mean that how it sounds with respect to the master tape. For example I hear LP bass sounding very much the same.Raul was suggesting that the sound of the LP is distorted compared to an analog tape and that is not... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? It does not matter the master tape. You will find the LP to be the truer playback. If you spend some time in a recording studio you run into these comparisons all the time.For example, we always record analog with a 24-bit digital backup. The anal... | |
| My tube amp sounds darker now. You might also want to test the tubes. If they are weak (especially driver tubes), that can easily contribute to darkness in the amp. | |
| Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain? As a simple rule of thumb most any transistor preamp can drive any tube amp.Its not always the other way 'round as pointed out above. (FWIW we get around the problem by direct-coupling and using paralleled tube sections to obtain a low output impe... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Depending on how well the servo is set up, it really can be a linear tracker, much more so than any of the air bearing arms I've seen. This is because its lateral and vertical tracking mass is the same. On an air bearing, the cartridge cantilever ... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Dan_ed, cheap shots aside, you failed to answer the question, and I see that no-one else has come forward in the meantime.So here is the challenge, as I see it. If you really want to compare nearly any bit of equipment, the problem is establishing... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I'm sorry Raul, maybe its a language thing. I think I stated it several times in this thread but let's be clear:1) Make a good recording; a good master tape2) release it on LP and CD3) compare what you hear to the master tapeNow you should know th... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Oldears, you can eliminate the servo noise by updating the servo! Its not hard... | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to The 20.7 is one of the better deals in loudspeakers today. If you like the 3.7 you'll like the 20.7 too. | |
| Don't use this to lube your VPI Classic bearing Inverted bearing? OK ATF won't do for that... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm The original servo is junk but its easily fixed. |
