| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance From my reading of all the responses, I’ve come to the conclusion that their are generally three camps here...the 1st agree that yes, if the pressing is bad or the record is worn then no there is not much to be done about it. The 2nd feels that it... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I’m using very good stuff as it is....not about to spend any more money....I think I’ll just deal with it. I’m not in the camp of mortgaging my house to buy audio equipment lol. My amp is 3 grand, my phono amp is 700, yes the speakers are only 500... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance 👍 | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I would have to agree with that jdub071...I do not believe you can totally rid any system (at any cost) of sibilance if it is indeed in the pressing. To do so would entail curtailing the high frequencies to the point where presence is lost, as w... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Ok, yes same here.....mine sounds like worn out grooves. These lps bought used and despite looking rather good, I guess u just do not know how they will sound until played. Thankfully I pay a buck per record so no big deal, and its only on certain... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Used three different preamps, all the same result. Amp is a warm sounding almost tube like amp. Speakers nice and warm non fatiguing highly reviewed diamond 225 by wharfedale, yes not multi thousand dollar speakers, but nice sounding. All 3 cartri... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Yes, I've visited that sight, but most of those records, however great, are just too much money for me. If money were no issue, I would certainly consider.....I guess I just live with the occasional sibilance, until I am able to replace with a bet... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Jdub071, can you further describe what you hear in detail as far as the sibilance on that Linda ronstadt album? I hear generally an unpleasant scratchiness to the s sounds, almost as iritating as finger nails on a chalk board....sometimes it is on... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Noromance, just to add, I have listened with several pairs of headphones to these recording while playing them on the different turntables. I still hear the sibilance here and there on the headphones. Also, it is there whether I go through the mar... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I gotcha......but I have to disagree on the marantz pm14s1. I have read no where that its grainy and bright. It is actually one of their warmest amps of late. Its basically an updated version of the previous pm 15s1. I do agree however that silver... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Noromance....maybe....but I tend to think that even if I spent 3 times as much on gear, the sibilance would still be there....its in the pressing, at least some of them. That was whole point of the test. Thankfully i had three turntables on hand t... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... I’m outdoors and generally out and about and active. That does not mean that there is something wrong with staying inside, especially on a bad weather day, and listening to real music on a very good quality hifi...and yes its in my basement lol. a... | |
| Best mid priced Amp-Preamp Great choice! I think you will love it... | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Frank, same here....I could never ever listen to all I have. It would take me maybe 100 years, and yet i too keep collecting new music every chance I get LOL.Simao, I shall bask in it LOL! Yes, at times it gets a bit overwhelming, but I would not ... | |
| Thoughts about Jadis and Harbeth I think a Rogue Spinx might be a good match with those Harbeths! SS/Tubed hybrid...Fremer visited a show where thay were drving the M30.1’s via the sphinx. He said they switched out some higher priced gear and drove them temporarily with the rogue... |
