| 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... | |
| Dustcover Blues I apologize to Mijo for being facetious, but I don't like dust covers anywhere near the turntable when I am playing records. When the TT is not in use, a dust cover is a good idea. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Dear Mijo, of course I do know how you now run the speaker, I was only referring to the stock circuit. | |
| Dustcover Blues Jeez. That’s only two Commandments from Mijo. Do you suppose a dust cover can be isolated from the TT, if it’s firmly attached with hinges to the TT? Especially a spring suspended TT where induced vibrations of the cover are easily transformed int... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Is the UHQR reissue corrected for the speed error inherent in the original tape? I’m not sure that would be a good thing. I am conditioned to the off speed version, since that day I took the bus into downtown New Haven, owing to the fact I was too... |
