| Establishing a common analog listening bias Thanks D.You may want to figure if Tequila Sunrise will be a test case (or not), -- as well as the much talked about last track from side 2 of "so long so wrong" AK, even the 2nd (middle track) seems a challenge.B U T if we can determine that thos... | |
| Arm geometry and mounting distance D. wow!! Now we have to give 10/10 for your concise and non-dogmatic answer, this is sharp, I like it. I also think it'd very hard to argue your point at all like this :-)I think your answer covered each angle, including the possible trouble(s) ca... | |
| New vinyl's noisy little secret Hi, just to try and keep this a bit less cryptic:note:"pre-echo associated with conventional lacquer mastering are eliminated and transient response is greatly improved. DMM record pressing sound brighter, cleaner, more detailed, with 15% more pla... | |

The funny thing is,... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,now we been chewing through all this MC loading --- I mentioned long ago that 47k works very well PROVIDED THE MC HAS SUFFICIENT HF DAMPING OF ITS OWN! Like using flux damping and other mechanical means. So it depends individually on the cart i... | |
| New vinyl's noisy little secret Zenblastery.s:>>> Aren't records mastered on metallic plates?<<<Well, firstly mastering was/is done on tape.Digital mastering on tape also, and later on with digital, on hard drives, on digital master consoles etc. etc.I guess wh... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Raul:one question I have to add: What about the pretty sibilant opening of the 1st track on side two "Tequila sunrise"?It is even to some degree apparent on the CD.Axel | |
