| Does it bother you? What makes an album transcendent is emotion, power, fragility... For very little money and effort,True enough but if it is a crappy recording quality does the emotion, power, fragility come through? | |
| Do you know why From what I've read pressing plants have a huge backlog currently. | |
| Do you know why An awfull lot of the blame is being placed on the record label companies. It seems to me they do not own the pressing plants that would need to slow down their production to ensure less warped albums. | |
| Help with bi-wiring Tls49,No offense intended. My comment about "not rocket science" was specific to Kimber Kable. Lots of other brands are far more difficult to cut and terminate for various reasons and should only be done by the cable maker or someone who is fully ... | |
| Does it bother you? Look at my system and you won't see any strange tweaks.This is getting laughable. Your system is full of technology that was originally tweaky. The most obvious are the speaker cables. Not all that long ago the question of wire making a sonic diff... | |
| Does it bother you? But it still doesn't explain how audiophile listeners only seem to find extreme positives when they listen to traditional studio recordings on expensive stereos.How do you come to this statement. The bulk of recordings that have "extreme positives... | |
| Help with bi-wiring With all do respect to Tls49 it is not rocket science. I sold Kimber Kable for decades and we cut and terminated all the cables on the sales floor.You just need to be extra carefull when stripping the wire as you do not want to nick the copper str... | |
| Stereo equalizer connection to integrated amplifie Before deciding on an EQ type I suggest that you get a simple test disc that has 1/3 band octave test tones. Play it and take notes of which frequencies are a problem for you. If you find that there are only a few bands that are an issue than a pa... | |
| Does it bother you? I can make an argument that 10 of your 15 "issues" were not present in those early recordings where simple recording techniques were used.Excellent recordings are like a fine restaurant. You have to go out of your way to find one created by those ... | |
| Does it bother you? Trentpancakes,A reason for the better sounding recordings of the 50's and 60's may be that there is a lot less of all the little "problems" you mention in rant. | |
| Help with bi-wiring Assuming your amp will accept another set of spades than a second run to each speaker gives you the most flexibility.Some folks will use a different wire for the highs than the lows.Or, in your case you could split out two blue's and two blacks at... | |
| Is The Overall Weight Of A Speaker Important? "they claim excess weight just stores unwanted energy"If its unwanted energy wouldn't we want to store it someplace? If it is not stored where did this unwanted energy go?Multiple English speaker makers have done an excellent job of using the box ... | |
| Is The Overall Weight Of A Speaker Important? Don't know if cabinet flexible is a desired goal but many speaker makers do not go to great lengths to tame any resonances and just incorporate them it into the overall frequency responce of the speaker. | |
| Is The Overall Weight Of A Speaker Important? Only in that the heavy speaker is better at geting the acoustical energy created by the drivers transferred into sounds waves instead of vibrating the cabinet or in some cases actually moving the speaker back and forth.One of the cheapest tweeks t... | |
| Speaker placement for brightness control. "Most tweeters have much less vertical dispersion than horizontal dispersion." Unless you are referring to horn or some planer/ribbon tweeters I have not seen this statement to be true.However it is possible that the relief the OP is describing is... |
