| 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... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! Nice! | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Agreed! This hobby keeps me sane in this crazy world. I can take a trip back in time by just pulling a record from my shelf and spinning it. I guess I could be doing worse things LOL! | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Noromance, some, not all of my julie london’s have some sibilance when she leans heavy on the s sounds. On others there is no discernible sibilance. Again some of these JL records were bought used and are very old. | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I checked the factory set up parameters on 2 of the 3 turntables and they are on target. The only one I set up myself was my pro-ject with hana el. I have close to if not 1000 records, most of which are used/preowned. lots are new as well. As i sa... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I tend not to believe those that state they hear zero sibilance on ANY recording through their system. Either their system rolls off the highs, has a subdued midrange or they have discovered something a large majority have not. Again, three differ... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Yes the ronstadt recording is awesome! I got it at a small used record shop in Boston and it appeared unplayed for only $2.99! I mean of course you can hear her pronounce "s" sounds and so forth, but they dont sound overly harsh or like "sh" or "s... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Hi noromance, to clarify, no I don’t get sibilance on everything I play. It is here and there. But on the records I do get it on, ie julie london recordings (not all), I take those particular pressings and play them on all 3 tables to keep myself ... |
