| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Jeff,I don't think Mrtennis is wrong, the definition he gives for warmth is correct, the point is it's a matter of usage and of degrees. His definition describes a sound that is too syrupy, rather than using it to describe the 'truth of timbre' he... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? While most agree on the basic meaning, destinctions need to be made about the 'degree' of warmth (pun intended). I think a lot of confusion arises in the inference of the amount of warmth being described and because audiophiles do not have an exac... | |
| Why no heated gear? I had a friend who used a hair dryer to heat his cartridge for a few seconds before playing. | |
| ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking? I had the same issue with a VT 100 MKIII and agree with Rodman as well. I believe the proximity of the fan to the bottom cover was the main problem as the air made noise as it passed through the slots in the cover. You could; detach the fan from t... | |
| Older Classe pieces really holding their prices... Depending on the popularity of the piece, when a manufacturer changes models the market can become flooded with demo units and units from people upgrading to the latest and greatest. This can depress prices for a while then prices may rise again w... | |
| Stewart Copeland, Incredible Agreed, Copeland is a great drummer. Murder by Numbers was not on my North American Vinyl, I had to buy it on a 45. | |
| Is your image centred? It's most likely your system telling you what you want to hear. :) If the image shifts on the same record, then you may have problems as stated such as wiring or room characteristics like doors that will shift images if they are open or closed. If... | |
| Whos Going To RMAF 2008 This Year? Probably a bunch of audio nuts. | |
| VPI TNT balancing Call VPI and request a heavier counterweight. That should solve your problem while minimizing total mass of the tonearm/cartridge. | |
| dynamic range -the good and bad? There may be more going on than just the recording. Some equipment, mostly speakers, do not produce dynamics in a linear fashion to the input level, so that the speaker may not respond in the same proportion to a small signal at a given frequency ... | |
| What happened to the AM/FM tuner??? You should be able to find something to fit your needs right here on AudioGon.After years of neglecting FM because I didnt think it was worth the time or effort I stumbled upon FMtunerinfo.com and my enthusiasm in FM was ignited. I, like Zenblast... | |
| Speakers too wide apart? It's always nice to discover hidden performance in your gear so keep tweaking, next with toe in/out (as Tvad pointed out) which will help you maximize your soundstage width. This may already have improved when you moved the speakers closer togethe... | |
| Pictures, More Pictures As a buyer, I don't like buying anything I can't see. The more I can see the better. It blows my mind when I see an ad with just a model number, no description of the items purpose (amp, etc.) not even a photo. As a seller I want to create the mos... | |
| Doors Box Set on LP - Bernie Grundman My DCC copy (#936 - or so) of the first LP is clearly better than the first lp in the boxed set (#2345 - or so) and also better than a second pressing I have. It was probably due to the difficulty they were having with the tape. I sense no digital... | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' Boston backing Aerosmith in '76. Boston was as tight as a Quad diaphram, then Aerosmith came out and were as 'incoherent' as a turntable being spun by hand. Of course the effects of intoxicating substanced will do that - a common affliction at the... |
