| What cause tweeters hiss ? Interesting. So premium interconnect can worsen SQ as well as improve it! | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? Congrats on the 6SE. You won't regret it. You are one step ahead of me - mine isn't an SE. | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. Sorry. If great midrange is your priority, you need panels/electrostatics. Could put them on stands I suppose. | |
| FInally I have a noise issue @holmz Thank you. I am interested in the measurements you are proposing to make of your TT using the ADC. My arm is parallel tracking so it is much easier than a pivoted arm to set up completely accurately by eye without recourse to measuremen... | |
| FInally I have a noise issue @holmz Yes. As you may have guessed I listen nearly exclusively to vinyl with only a little CD/SACD and no streaming or rips. In any case, it's the artists who are getting ripped. On your iPod, maybe there's a good reason why they only give y... | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? @auronthas I am very surprised, assuming you are saying that when you select CD input on your amp/preamp and turn the volume up with no signal you do not hear hiss; whereas it is audible when you select other inputs and do the same. I am not cl... | |
| FInally I have a noise issue Seems this new-fangled digital gear isn't foolproof. A bit like the fact that after 25 or more years of development internet connections still aren't stable. | |
| ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade? Both very good amps. But they have very differing sound characters that arise from implementation of very different design philosophies. You need to listen to both in your system over a decently long period before you make up your mind. I'm for... | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? If the volume is turned a long way up a low level hiss will usually be audible if you put your ear close to the tweeter. The hiss is a noise product of the amplifier but will be at a very low level relative to that of any signal that is connected... | |
| Should Audiogon forum dealers be held to a different standard? No. All dealers should work to the same high standards. It is said that bricks and mortar dealers add value by giving objective and useful advice to customers and that justifies their sticking to list pricing and not discounting (as well as the ... | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better NOT a crap shoot. Correctly engineered the 45 will always sound better because the higher speed enables more faithful recording of the music. Compare with reel to reel tape - 7.5ips is better than 3.75 and professional studios often used 15ips. ... | |
| Need suggestions: High pitched female singers ?Do one on low pitched female singers? Avril Lavigne. Dua Lipa. Cher. Adele. Annie Lennox. Florence Welch. Selena Gomez. Nina Simone. Watch the 'Bass Queen' sing the lowest note by a woman | Guinness World Records That's 72.5Hz. | |
| $25k speakers, are we there yet? @havocman If the vibration of the earth is relevant then you need to isolate yourself from it as well. Stick some podia under the feet of your listening chair. Boing boing. | |
| The vanishing stereo rack If this catches on, we will save an awful lot of $$$$ on smart, even exotic, case design. That will enable better SQ for money, which can only be a good thing. But I don't think I'm alone in saying that I get a kick from seeing all that expensiv... | |
| HT & Stereo System Fuel Shortage Coming According to Grid Operators Quite right! All the figures for emissions of electric cars are false. By far the largest emission cost of a car is from building it and disposing of it. Batteries last around 8 years and cannot easily be replaced as stupid design has i... |
