| the natural sound of a cymbal Re the ability to identify the brand of cymbals on a recording. Drummers most certainly can. I am not a drummer, but I can tell you that it is not difficult for me to identify when (for instance) Michael Brecker used his Otto Link mouthpiece, and ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Another tip re the trough: make sure that the trough itself is level. If it is not, the amount of damping will vary (decrease) as the arm travels towards the inside of the LP. The trough has a tendency (especially if the Velcro has gotten a little... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bh80231, if you provide your email address I would be glad to send you some pic that I just took. Luddite that I am, I can't figure out how to post pics.I looked at the link in your post. Personally, I would purchase wire with higher pedigree; Aud... | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? Very, very good! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I will try and post some pics in the next couple of days. | |
| Fine trumpet , alto sax recordings? ****So I looking for more smoothe jazz styles for now.****Dave Sanborn: "Another Hand". He created the "smooth jazz" alto sound. One of his most interesting recordings.Michael Franks: "Barefoot On The Beach". Typical relaxed, catchy Franks tunes f... | |
| 'dimple' tweeter fix Unsound got it right! Or skip the tube tube altogether, and simply put your lips gently around the tweeter's dome and suck gently ;-) | |
| I'm on StereoTimes... Very nice article, Larry. Nicely written and really exudes the reverence and admiration that you have for the music. ****hearing Miles Davis do Chromatic Scales was kind of an epiphany. Who would have thought (at that age) that guys like him had t... | |
| beethoven piano concerto Second the Brendel/Levine set; excellent! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris, I agree; bass quality can be a very subjective thing. I think you know how I feel about the ET2's excellence; bass included. But I am not talking about a lack in the quantity of the bass with the ET2; it is excellent by any measure. IN M... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hello fellow ET2 enthusiasts. Been a while and I hope everyone is well. Just wanted to share some very preliminary impressions of a cartridge that I have had sitting, new in the box for a few months. I know some of you follow and/or contribute to ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks for sharing your experience; and I commend you for caring enough to conduct that experiment.I think this subject is in many ways a classic case of "talking past each other", as I think there is actually a lot more agreement than disag... | |
| Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals? May I suggest a different methodology: Use recordings that you already have and are VERY familiar with; deficiencies and all. Then listen for which speakers let you hear more of what you have been missing. Good luck. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I am not sure I understand your question correctly; but I will try to answer what I think you mean. Musical "image" is the aural equivalent of a visual image. We commonly use the term "imaging", no? I am not sure I understand what you m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Also try Heifetz's Glazunov Concerto (RCA LS) for another great example of his unique combination of virtuosic perfection and passion. And talk about 3D violin sound! :-) |
