| A Better Bluesound AC Cable? There’s an Isotek C7 cable for a decent price, although I’m not familiar with their PC’s. I do believe that a cable using isolated neutral and ground conductors tied to an earth ground (3-pin connector) would be the preferred design for draining n... | |
| Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation I was expecting somebody to mention the generation gap in music. "In my day, etc"...lol.There were always cookie-cutter songs with the same hook played on top 40 radio and the like. The record labels were thriving and all that mattered was to get ... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... RE: her voice. Her early stuff sounds more natural, you can hear her voice without effects added to them (although compressed, as is all digital now).

It’s used judiciously on instruments; eg, on a drum to tighten up the attack and decay, or cymbals to stop excessive overtones or ring-out. The result is a naturally sounding drum kit tailored... | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... For sibilant voices engineers use filters and a mild amount of compression. This is standard practice. There may be sibilance thru your speakers due to tipped-up highs from the mix and/or mastering. | |
| ... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD... The harshness in her voice (and other artists today) is mostly due to the use of effects specifically Autotune. These pop and rap recordings are not using a sine wave to organically correct pitch, a square wave is created and the gain is pushed hi... | |

| Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations https://www.vinylengine.com/library/pioneer/pl-530.shtmlYou have a budget system, nothing wrong with that. Other owners of the Pioneer seem to like this TT so keep it for now and upgrade the cartridge/stylus. Definitely the first move to make.Here... | |
| Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations I believe in reducing the noise from your AC line before adding upgrades to your analogue. Are you using any power conditioning? Lowering the noise from your mains will help reveal more detail in your music.And yes, get a record cleaner. This wi... |
