| Sherlock Holmes needs clues Not enough information, that's my diagnosis, Watson!Since I don't happen to have the CDs you mentioned, can't doa comparison. It could be just about anything. The first thing to consider is two identical components that are in both systems that yo... | |
| Orchestral brass and fanfare - analysis of system The limit on most systems *is* the tweeter. In general the speakers are guilty of *most* of the non-linear distortion - which increases with level no matter what. After that the worst offender is the amp. Most amps have problems in the power suppl... | |
| amplifier's "slam-factor" It's a difficult question to answer...First off, *if* you sit in a recording studio and dork with the control knob of an expander/compressor you'll probably be surprised to find that things have *more* impact when they are *compressed*! That means... | |

| Vinyl and slurring S'es Marakenetz, it's not an ad! It's true. Been there and done that too many times now. I agree that it is important and even critical to set up the arm, and the tracking exactly right. It's also a good idea to take a 10x eye loupe and inspect your st... | |
