| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? mijostynJust a note. Forget reviews. There is way too much bias involved.Do you think this applies to all reviews? Do you think JA's measurements in Stereophile are "biased?"For me all point source speakers are out ... Linear arrays are much b... | |
| Reel to reel benjie When I record these files, the information is there, it’s just not very audible. It is more in the background. Recording the file to tape seems to bring out more detail of the recording than is present through a digital player for the file... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus10... I recall being at a high end emporium and requesting them to play my CD of Santana’s "Abraxas". This was my CD; I bought the LP Abraxas when it came out; to say that I was familiar with the album would be an understatement; the backg... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? mijostyn Fortunately distortion is easy to hear because it is so dissonant, sort of like looking for an elephant in a garage full of cars. That is completely mistaken. Some distortion is not all "dissonant," but just the opposite: it’s euphonic.... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus10Here again Cleeds you are referring to my statement and my statement alone; no one else stated any thing that would incite you to make the statement ... I did not say that there was information which was not on the LP. I’m not sure to wh... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? rauliruegasYes but the problem word in that statement is: " correctly " and till today exist no single method/mechanism to set up " correctly ". That's really not quite true. Just because something can't be executed perfectly doesn't mean that ... | |
| Reel to reel benjie If analog tape is so flawed then why do recording studios and engineers keep going back to it to produce new remastered versions of albums ?That some here have noted some of the inherent limitations of tape doesn’t mean we think it’s "so f... | |
| Reel to reel benjieDo you also feel that there is signal loss when recording from a digital source to tape?Do you think analog tape is a perfect, distortion-free recording medium? | |
| Reel to reel benjieWhy do you think there is information lost between the LP and the phono preamp?Using a test record and distortion analyzer, it can easily be shown that different phono preamps have varying degrees of success in retrieving what’s on an LP. A... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus10In regard to the playback being better than the LP from the TT; that does seem impossible; the funny thing is, I just enjoyed it without ever thinking about it, but now that this fact is being questioned, I'm forced to think about i... | |
| Reel to reel uberwaltzLast time I checked my bank account did not run to hiring Avenged Sevenfold to perform in my garage unfortunately ...Understood, me neither! For that, we have CD, LP, streaming. (In any event you probably wouldn't want to record them in y... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus10 When I was listening to playback of a brand new record, just a few minutes ago, I heard record noise, that constant low level noise during silence ...Hmmm, sounds like a noisy phono preamp perhaps, or phono setup issues. I wouldn't... | |
| Reel to reel innaThis whole vinyl thing is a money making industry BS. All the big ticket tables, arms, cartridges, phono stages etc. All we need is good tape decks and good pre-recorded tapes ...That’s part of the problem - it’s extremely expensive to manufa... | |
| The "1st Pressing" LP Hysteria- Is the terminology wrong? "Hysteria" when buying LPs? "Pandemonium" when choosing vacuum tubes? If that's the case, I suggest you're dealing with the wrong people. | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? mijostyn... Never Trust Your Ears. The problem with ears is that they are connected to a brain ... We'll have to disagree on this. I consider the brain an advantage, not a disadvantage. The ears and brain work in tandem.Always follow the science... |
