| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Here they give the specs for the DH-3P, showing a frequency response pretty flat between 4500 and down -6db at 37kHz. Drops off pretty fast below 4500Hz. For me, the term "midrange" makes me think 500 to 2000Hz. But the definition is plastic. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State Why do you say Allnic has poor resale value? Not based on my perusal of the for sale ads here. I guess it depends upon how you define "poor". | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Grisly, I’m sure Paul can play in the jazz idiom, but he’s no “jazz musician”. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Also great Chet Baker recordings on Sam’s Records, in mono, pressed in France. I’ve got at least two, maybe three albums. All make you forget that the signal is mono. Quality of the vinyl is the highest. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital I cannot imagine the "open air" approach to buliding a plinth for a 301 would be efficacious, for me at least, because what you want to suppress in a 301 is vibration and motor noise. For that it seems to me you need mass. That’s just my opinion. ... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Coltrane, You wrote, "But as bebop became dominant the majority of listeners were forever lost. I don’t mind, because bebop was a natural step for new jazz. Personally, bebop was a statement by certain musicians who felt disrespected. So they crea... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Not a problem with a single full range driver. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Dear Mijo, You don’t need to teach me about the electronics, and no, I did not own the Parasound amplifiers any longer by the time I upgraded my 845PXs. In fact, my experience with the Parasound JC1s was entirely driving my M1s, which were complet... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Richard, I’m not sure what you’re doing with that plinth, but 301 plinth building is a vast subject. One common solution is to build a plinth out of layers of Baltic birch cut precisely to embrace the working bits as snugly as possible. I am sure ... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Coltrane, perhaps you didn’t mean to infer that bebop is anything other than “jazz”. But if you did, I must protest. Bebop IS and was jazz after WW2, pioneered by Charley Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and many others. By the mid-50s, bebop... | |
| Dustcover Blues Perhaps aerosolized sawdust leaks from your workshop into your listening room. Or perhaps the workshop IS a listening room. In either case, I do understand the obsession with dust covers. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL What speaker is being augmented by the piezoelectric tweeter? | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Re Mijostyn’s observation on driving the Sound Labs speakers that he and I own: The JC1+ may "work" fine but doesn’t sound nearly as good as my much modified MA240s. I once owned a pair that I purchased only because my Atmasphere amps were going t... | |
| Dustcover Blues I’m not your average old man, old man. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL $40K!!!! Is that what my speakers cost now? I agree with you, almost. I think Dr West had to conjure up a way to make his big panels with relatively wide spacing between stators and diaphragm (thus permitting better reproduction of low bass but al... |
