| Is soundstage just a distortion? You're kidding yourself if you think you're hearing frequencies coming from areas or the plane they're not being produced except for diffraction and room reflections which are by no means precisely directed. The best you can hope for is a coincide... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? It seems you've answered your own question. Room geometry and speaker placement are clearly responsible for the effects we hear. A sphere is the ideal cabinet so any diffraction caused by a 'box' is an artifact. If you fastened your speakers to a ... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Who the hell cares? If there is a sound stage, why do I care if it's faithful to the original? I'm far more occupied with replicating the final version 'accurately'. That's what I care about. Because along with that goes the entire sphere of the p... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? I'm from the camp who's position is 'been there, done that' regarding original music production. Not much if any new stuff is worth while anyway. There's so much original vinyl out there I haven't heard that I'd need at least two more lifetimes to... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Wow, that sucks. I'm shattered. Does it matter? mmmmm..nope. Still a lot of great stuff out there I haven't heard yet. | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Engineers are very well aware of what can be expected at the outcome. Hence their title. They are compensating for every limitation they are aware of in the play back system. Their goal is the same as ours, ie: those who care about accuracy. They ... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? Ralph, you made a very good point about tone-arm oscillation. All my records have a pencil line on the label of each side which serves as an alignment tool to precisely center the record before play. I've been doing this since my first system. The... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? I'm not sure you can call the Decca a cantilevered cartridge. They do make short cantilevered conventionally designed cartridges but I was referring to the original Decca Blue, Red, or Gold type. In the original versions, a line contact stylus is ... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? For me 'better' is simply more defined. The Decca cartridges have the ability to produce very sharply defined point source imaging. Should this be considered artificial because it does not follow general design convention? 30 years ago I bought an... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? My London Decca cartridge on OTOH does staging I would describe as 'other worldly' in comparison to any other cartridge or digital I've ever heard. I used to think it was artificial but I can't see a cartridge having the ability to rearrange the s... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Bring your toothbrush. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? It ain't over till the fat lady sings. | |
| Blown Speaker?? It's very unlikely the voice coil warped from 'too much power' at 95db peaks. Too much power would more likely cause other kinds of damage such as broken/torn suspension parts. Overheating happens from over driving the amp. So it would be the 'not... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I second that. You'll find my comment on the PS Audio P3 on page three but the P5 will be the same. Good luck | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? No again. |
