| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression dogberry 361 posts 10-06-2023 at 03:24pm I don't know that it is a new trend: there have always been dreadful sounding records of otherwise good music. You have to know which ones you have and refrain from using them when comparing two pi... | |
| My ProAc Studio 200s are…. Unfair assessment? I don’t believe I made any blanket generalizations……as the topic mentioned, it was all about the results with my ProAcs….and I tried to describe specific differences in sound and the results. | |
| My ProAc Studio 200s are…. ”My sentiments exactly with a lot of decent tube amps mated to transparent speakers.”👍🏼 | |
| My ProAc Studio 200s are…. Actually too…..making the amplifier swap made me re-assess that the Rogue was sounding a bit chesty on voices…..basically a little thick in the upper bass and lower midrange….and a little rolled off on top. A swap from the installed Tung Sol reiss... | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... @orpheus10Well, with the above information, I can just order online when necessary.Yeah, thinking I will spend the extra and upgrade to the 1.0 mV Master3 this time from my Sonata2. | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... @yogiboy I had an MCZ years ago....replaced with TLZ before the wood cartridges. Wish I had kept the TLZ for spare or comparison. I also saw while looking for retip info that it is easier to get a MCZ/TLZ/XTZ stylus now!Turns out some 8 years ago ... | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... When My inner track on albums starts to get inner groove distortion (distorted on peaks or sounding a bit hazy/compressed), I know I am about due.I had some 30+ years ago waited too long in recognizing and replacing stylus/cartridges and damaged s... | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... Yogiboy.....Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for! Would have loved to just find this on Grado or 4ourears website.Like I mentioned, I love being able to make an instant swap of the cartridges...Did you just replace yours? What did you g... | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... The important point here........Needle Doctor would send you the new cartridge.....then give you some 7-14 days to return your old one!No one else I found does this. | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... My fifth paragraph mentions that I will probably call Grado tomorrow.But today being Sunday.....was hoping someone knew of a Grado dealer that had a Grado replacement procedure like Needle Doctor had.The third-party retipping are other people’s su... | |
| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... I have thought also about the Soundsmith re-tip......though I preferred the Needle Doctor type of immediate swap if it is somehow available.Under magnification? Do I have a tool to do this??? | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! https://youtu.be/_s0zrFeglIQFound this video......Not extremely common N.E.A.R. 15Ms fit your description well....near full range in a large bookshelf....not bright at all.....great for jazz, rock etc. Again, great bass! Well defined and reaches t... | |
| Micro position adjustments By the way.....just put on Art Pepper - Straight Life.......second track bass is incredible, deep, defined.....Art’s sax is recorded well too. And great jazz....Anyone that’s got it, throw it on! | |
| Micro position adjustments I should update......the front of the Proacs are still over 2 feet forward of any rack or component. Sure, nothing between is nice, but also a compromise in symmetry (components to the side) or long interconnects, speaker cables etc.(Plus, it’s ni... | |
| Micro position adjustments I’ve always suspected.....and assumed humidity would affect speakers especially (anyone with a guitar knows how their neck changes and expands in summer humidity vs. winter dry air)....enclosures and drivers would change mass etc.Hard to get a gri... |
