| Musician vs. audiophile I think that to make the generalization that musicians don’t care about the quality of their playback equipment and of reproduced sound in general is nonsense. As to the suggestion that they are “pretty much, well, deaf”, the absurdity of that com... | |
| aluminum platter vs Acrylic not what I thought Fantastic post by thom-mackris and a much more elegant and thorough way of explaining what I tried to suggest. Every effort to improve the speed stability of my turntable via the replacement of the rubber belt with string, better motor controller ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Woody Herman’s “Woodchopper’s Ball” it is. Merry Christmas to all!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=edm8uenCtrg | |
| aluminum platter vs Acrylic not what I thought Of course that they are separate issues. The point is simply that one should be careful about making decisions about the superiority of one platter over another without considering all the variables including the rest of the system. Although I c... | |
| aluminum platter vs Acrylic not what I thought For whatever it may be worth, I remember distinctly while deep in VPI upgrade madness years ago that HW felt very strongly that the very best platter for the HW19 was the aluminum platter. Which brings me to viridian’s comment about the importance... | |
| Best LP Version of Coltrane Alabama fromunda is correct. Have you seen this?:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc4Y8YaDFTE | |
| Epos speakers - no longevity? Check the woofer surrounds. Not uncommon for surrounds to break down with time no matter how gently they were used. Fairly easy fix. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, since no one is biting re the identification of the background tune in the video clip, here is one more and final hint in addition to my unbelievably clever first hint 😊 which apparently no one got: the composer of the tune was a big band lea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good work, Rok!Excellent, pryso! The aficionados are digging deep!Now, re the tune in the background. A hint (in more ways than one 😉):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iNxujJGnbB4C’mon, O-10, (and all) join the party; ‘‘tis the season...”. | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Dear Raul,Again, more dancing around the issue; or, to be generous, misunderstanding. What we are talking about has absolutely nothing to do with the “losted accuracy” of frequency response in the hearing of SOME musicians. This has nothing to d... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? **** But i believe we cannot hear when 33.333 rpm spins at 33.332 rpm ****I believe you are correct and I said as much in my response to Raul. I said in my first post on this subject that I think this is the most misunderstood topic in audio. A... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very good, Rok. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here we go. Challenge v 2:But since the answer is in the responses, for a true challenge, can anyone identify the tune playing in the background as the dude in the clip sets up HIS challenge? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xc50FsGS2csAnd one more c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think Basie is tough to beat using the original criteria. But therein lies the problem; the original criteria were a little vague I think. What artist is saying the most at any given time is a strictly subjective thing. And when the facts ar... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? chakster, with respect, what does any of what you wrote have to do with the subject at hand? You have missed the point. First, while you are correct that adults cannot “develop” perfect pitch they can develop “relative pitch” which for all inten... |
