| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas I was thinking of pulling the trigger on the Anne Bisson D to D album, why do you think it is not one of the better ones? | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rvpiano The Bruckner Berliner D to D set has been out for a little while now. It is not exactly an inexpensive box set. I'm going to pass as well, too many other albums that can be bought with great SQ for a lot less $$. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas Once again, I'm not following you how the sound of a live instrument from up close or far, has anything to do with the 'digital sheen' that I hear from a digital recording. Two very different types of sound, IMHO. YMMV. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas I own all of the M&K Digital LP's. While they are listenable, I do NOT think they hold a candle to the analog LP's from M&K. The Digital LP's have a certain digital sheen that I find to be unpleasant over the long haul. | |
| Recommendation for MM cartridge to fit Linn Ittok LVII arm that will outperform Adikt @masi61 Seems like the hum issue could be a cartridge issue. As the cartridge gets closer to the spindle, it may be picking up a grounding issue from that. I remember hearing years ago about such a problem, if I remember correctly the problem wen... | |
| Recommendation for MM cartridge to fit Linn Ittok LVII arm that will outperform Adikt @masi61 What you have decided to do probably makes the mosts sense and goes along with the Linn upgrade protocol. Should be an excellent increase in SQ. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas I'm not going to say all digital recordings are not great, just the majority of them, IME. OTOH, I can think of one that is actually reference quality...and it is the MoFi Allison Krauss and Union station Live album. This one is a su... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas You posted this:" The level of stress on that precise live recording by the artist/player". Which brings about my point! | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers @edgewear I think that a speaker and a system that is ultra revealing is in fact a major plus. While this system will sound horrible on a lot of poorly recored music, it will also sound amazing on well recorded pieces. Therefore, I believe that o... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas What you just posted accounts for the differences in music/performance, not so much to the sound of the recording. IMHO, there are a lot more excellent sounding Opus 3 LP's than there are D to D LP's. From a recording perspective- an... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers @edgewear You bring up an interesting point. As your system gets more and more resolving and accurate, you will unfortunately hear more of the recording, warts and all. Since the vast majority of recorded music is done so poorly, you are now stuck... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas Not sure what racing drivers and their abilities have to do with this discussion?? BTW, "Now if in your system you can't detect that big difference in between then could be maybe because your room/system has not yet the resolution to ... | |
| Recommendation for MM cartridge to fit Linn Ittok LVII arm that will outperform Adikt A MM cartridge would not be my first choice...However, the Hana line is quite good, or maybe one of the new Clearaudio MM’s. As to your hum issue, you are connecting a grounding wire from the tonearm wiring to the phono preamp..yes? | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas I totally agree with oldears, the Opus 3 Lp’s are superb on many levels. They do NOT have a hyped up sound that a lot of D to D’s do. I think my system is perfectly capable of hearing the differences between the two formats, which is ... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas Interesting post that you said about the Opus 3 LP's not being in the 'same league' as the well recorded D to D's. Maybe you could elaborate on why you think that. Owning a large number of both D to D's and Opus 3's, I think that the... |
