| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Narrod - I actually posted the link at Music Direct on my last entry there. It is a double LP set called "So Long So Wrong," and this is the last track on side 2 of the first record called "Find my way back to your heart" | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi,Zhenya, thanks for backing me up on this! Sibilance distortion bloze :-/To clarify about this particular track, it is a good test for distortion because it has Kraus's sharp S sounds in it, and importantly this particular track is the last on t... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I heard a Rega P5 with a Benz Ace today. Sounded really good on the sibilants... RB701 perhaps? | |
| Krell FPB650m or FPB700cx "Also wanted minimum watts of 500."The Sophia is a fairly efficient speaker. There is no logical reason to need 500 WPC on these speakers | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Tobes,Thanks for chiming in! It's good to get another opinion on here, even if it's different from mine.To me, the sibilance distortion on the Jubilee sounds really bad regardless of system. What I've been using for the most part is my Sennheis... | |
| Graham Phantom II + Dynavector XV1's need help Hi,I had the same problem recently. It was a bad tube in my phono stage.What phono stage are you using? Does it have tubes? | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Tketcham - That is great that you've also had good results with the AT 33PTG. I would encourage everybody who is encountering sibilance to give this cartridge a try. The main realization for me is that you can't assume that any given cartridge in ... | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s Wow, lotta haters out there... car analogies...Palermo, though the 801N is a much more dynamic and capable speaker than the 803N, it is surely too big for your 13ft wide room to support.Is the 802N an option? It sounds closer to the 801 than the 8... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hello,I apologize for my delay in responding. I have made significant progress towards understanding and solving this problem.Support from Mike at VPI was excellent, and he re-setup the arm, opting for the Benz L2 instead of the Jubilee. He also i... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? The X-static won't work well in this sized room - it needs a good amount of breathing room.It is a shame that your monitor auditions did not include a sub being hooked up! Maybe you could try again, this time with a sub, to see how it goes?The Ush... | |
| Speaker audition: a novice’s journey I agree with Onhwy61 on this one - It is tragic that you didn't hear the Lenores at their full potential. Bad setup (a 12 x 12 room is a nightmare, far too small, and being a square will create big standing waves) will kill even the best sounding ... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Hi Coverto,A well setup sub + bookshelf system can awe and inspire for sure. In a small room, it will actually do this even more than a bigger floorstander that is too big for the room, because you won't run into the problems (notably boomy bass p... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Hi Coverto,Yes, stands are an absolute necessity for bookshelf speakers. You will need to set them up so that they are least 1 foot (preferably 2 or more) from all room boundaries if you would like to recreate the aspects of hi end sound, such as ... | |
| AV123 X-Static My brother in law (silvergsx) has these speakers. They are far and away the most capable $1,000 speakers that I've ever heard. The competition at this price are bookshelves that can't touch these speakers dynamic capabilities, bass response, and s... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? You are definitely going to want to go with a bookshelf and sub approach. Floorstanders will have major problems in the small room, and the sub gives you the ability to move it around the room, and place it where the bass sounds best.I've tried to... |
