| Phantom center channel volume why is this an issue......The main front channels are producing the center channel so there IS no center adjustment. The issue is center volume relative to the FRONT channels. | |
| Phantom center channel volume For whatever it's worth, I bought a Proceed AVP2 and even a high end processor such as this can't get it right! It is still just sending the signal to both fronts and not correcting for the 3dB increase as two speakers are now reproducing the sign... | |
| Phantom center channel volume Wow, That's cool! Lexicon is one brand I am considering as I like the logic 7. I was just hoping there was a way to set the balance of the center correctly. Having volume control of a phantom center is a great bonus. | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Thom,I beleive Raul is of the option that if a designer approved an alternative drilling option he or she would explicitly state that. I on the other hand beleive the presence of a slotted headshell is explicit approval to tweak. I completely resp... | |
| Turntable Isolation Hi Gmsasso,Your set-up sound pretty good to me. I've had my table in a separate room in a sealed solid oak box lined with sound damping for years so I must admit I've never looked for a null in my room. With my set-up I can still faintly hear musi... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Raul,Not mounting a cartridge exactly where a manufacturer's direction say is not disrespecting the designer at all. The arm manufacturer has to allow for inaccurate drilling of the mounting board and has to accommodate all possible cartridges. I ... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Thom,Your longer effective length calulations show lower distortion and there is NO downside. You just proved the point. You claim to respect Brooks and you don't know everything yet you will"set him straight". | |
| Turntable Isolation Where is your table in relation to your speakers? I am surprised I don't hear more about people placing their table in a separate room or equipment closet. At the very least one should look for a null in standing waves. All equipment remedies will... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Thom @ Galibier,WOW!I'm sure any competent person would not make the errors you cite above as reasons to not deviate from manufacturers set-up, certainly not Brooks. I understood him to mean increasing effective arm length with slotted head shell ... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility For this discussion ignore the arc protractors. Universal protractors work for various spindle to mounting hole distances correct. If you have slotted headshell mounting holes you can adjust cartridge angle and overhang correct. If you drill your ... | |
| Cheap Plater dust cover You're spot about those mats. Absolute dust magnets! I always used an unwanted record but I like your idea better. A very inspiring breakfast if a bit unorthodox. | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility "Feathed, how are you verifying pivot to spindle distance?"Dan_edUnless one needs the distance for making an alignment device, the pivot to spindle distance is of no relevance at all. | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility What about alignment of the stylus to the cantilever? A misaligned stylus renders all methods discussed above (except maybe listening) null and void. They are utterly and completely useless. | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility FWIW Maybe not on the current subject as I don't wish to debate protractor merits.Since audibly my null seemed to be at about 128mm and since Lofgren B seems to be most correct as I don't hear inner groove distortion and both Lofgren B nulls are n... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility I think we can all agree that alignment is difficult to get spot on and visual means have many inherent inaccuracies. To me this screams out for verification with a test record and instrumentation. I would think it possible to measure the distorti... |
