| Resonant Frequency I am really digging this thread, and thank you Stefanl and JanVoorn for your comments. I have found an interesting piece that references the 1977 AES paper of Ladegaard - to wit: Multidimensional Audio, by Henning Moller, Bruel & Kjaer. It is ... | |
| Resonant Frequency Quoting from "The Audioperfectionist Journal," (No. 9, 2003)I have this to offer as food for thought. It is also a view I agree with and have experienced, and this as a person who has been spinning vinyl for 30 years or so, and the last 10 with a ... | |
| Frank Sinatra at The Sands-Live........ Lugnut nailed it. Try and get a copy of "The Voice" and "Songs for Lovers."Tony Bennett may not have all of Frank's instant appeal, but he shares his diction and can turn a phrase like nobody else. Enjoy! | |
| Rachmaninov Piano Conerto 2 - Recommended LP? I will second Newbee's rec: "Sviatoslaw Richter's version on DG, ain't chopped liver, circa 1959 (again if you can find it).." It is marvelous. While I do have the other versions mentioned, I think it the one to beat, although Newbee's short list ... | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? The simple answer, I think, lies in the manner in which either package, as a whole, is able to assist in the control of unwanted vibrations and resonances. Beyond the package itself (Thorens/Ortofon v Rega/Grado), one must take into account the ac... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Gain 64dB of gain would be optimum for this cart. Loading of 100R - 1000R. | |
| Best integrated amp with phono and pre out? Try the Musical Fidelity A300; the phono stage is the same one used in their XLP's, with MM loading at 47k and MC at 1000R. Gain on the MC is around 56db. The active pre-outs are excellent, and you have tape monitor, 150 Dual-Mono, very good to ex... | |
| Help, I need to purchase FM outdoor antenna All of the above references are excellent. HOWEVER, you first need to ascertain what your needs are. Do you live in an urban jungle of FM stations nearby that compete with a station close-by on the band that you wish to tune in? Or, conversley, ar... | |
| the Listening Room For me it comes down to a trade-off; while I CAN afford to live with any number of aesthetic deviations, it had better be for a dramatic improvement in sound. I have beautiful wood floors that I'd hate to cover up, but if necessary I would. I coll... | |
| CDP directly into amp? The least expensive solution would be to pick up a used Marantz CD63SE or better yet the CD67SE with remote. The remote has a volume control, and the player is certainly of high enough output to do exactly what you are looking to do. These are exc... | |
| Sweet Spot for Triangle Speakers Patriot, your room dimension is a nightmare - a perfect square is the LAST thing one wants to deal with in setting up speakers. DO check out the Cardas website, and also search the Stereophile site for the Room Tunes articles from a few years ago ... | |
| Sweet Spot for Triangle Speakers First, if your Zerius are anything like the Celius, then you will need to play em in for about 200 hours. NO JOKE! There are physical reasons for this, not some brain adjustment course as is sometimes the case.You WILL need to be in the sweet spot... | |
| Separate Phono Stage-Worth the $$ ? If you can arrange to audition this you should know right off if it is worth the $. I would think you are doing just fine with what you have unless yours is a very high resolution system.I have been using the built-in phono section in a Musical Fi... | |
| What are the BEST FM Antennas HELP Hi Gary; you may want to check out the Fanfare dipole ($85). If you have your own home, and don't mind mounting a 200" boom, go with the APS-13 from antenna specialists (see my review on AudioReview).NO MATTER WHAT: You will need an antenna that i... | |
| Help with my University Research Project I have read this entire thread and find the experiment most intriguing. I was pleased to learn you are using your own recording as a reference, but wonder if - and here I am assuming the postulate as absolute - the actual cable used to make that r... |
