| Lets fight Part2 Well, if AGon feels voting is bringing in more visits, I guess the fate of voting is a foregone conclusion. I dislike the amount of space devoted to discussions and complaints about voting. This is becoming a site about voting, rather than audio. ... | |
| Basis or Michell GyroDec Can't offer direct help, but I do have my suspension-less TT (Planar 3) on a rack on suspended hardwood floor. Tried a variety of things, alone and in combination, under the TT and found that a Neuance shelf worked very well, sonically. I was surp... | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? thanx, Doug, I wasn't thinking of this as a general, primary strategy for setting up a sub. However, I was thinking that many minimonitor users might have rooms large enough that their speakers would not excite the fundamental (if that's the right... | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Is it the case that some sub owners tailor their setup to leave a hole or depression at a problematic room resonance frequency? Say you've got a monitor that goes down to about 45 -50 Hz, and you've got a room resonance at about 40 hz. Do you dial... | |
| Congested sound, new speakers? Apparently, Stereojen, from the change in your tastes in music, you are growing younger. How the heck are you doing that? | |
| Cones vs. factory spikes? My common sense tells me that a speaker cabinet being "pushed" in the opposite direction by the excursion of a driver isn't a big deal - a tiny loss of amplitude. But when a speaker that is wobbly or mounted on an insufficiently stiff support reco... | |
| LP playback is lacking - any ideas? Oops, strike the word "room" in the second line, above. I just mean what your turntable is sitting on. | |
| LP playback is lacking - any ideas? Could be anything -- dontcha love it? If the arm is set up properly, then I'd be tempted to look first at what is supporting your TT (you don't mention that) room as a likely culprit. Of course, if your CD player produces a similar kind of congest... | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? Need to replace my old John Wesley Harding LP. Can anyone offer some guidance about alternatives -- reissues, vinyl v. CD, etc.? General info about Zimmy's reissues would be interesting, too. Thanks | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? SD, in terms of uniqueness of delivery, the analogy with Betty Carter (whom I love) is not too shabby. Dylan's songwriting prowess (both lyrics and music) is for the ages, I think, and maybe as good as any way to appreciate it is by listening to o... | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? I don't think sdcampbell's missing the point. Dylan's peculiar, and it's easy to see why he just might not hit it off with some people. However, I'm a big fan. He introduced a literary quality to the lyrics of popular music that came from the stre... | |
| The universal language? This thread makes me think back to my college days at Wesleyan University, which had (and still has, I hope) a _great_ world music program. If I remember correctly, Wesleyan had the second Javanese gamelan orchestra in the U.S. (with Berkeley havi... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Well, I'll be, Angela (4-7 post), I did not know that applied to women. wink, wink. | |
| Cartridge for RB300 other things Dynavector 10x40 II works fine for me on my Planar 3 with OL-modified RB250 arm. Needed a spacer to give a neutral VTA, but like David with his Grado, I prefer no spacer and a slight negative VTA. I see that the Ring-Mat people now offer a package... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Good question, Detlof, one that I've thought about repeatedly, since so many reviewers use the term. But I agree with Gemini that, if we try to get more specific than saying "musicality" relates to how well a system can reproduce sounds in an emot... |
