| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? You need to tell us your budget, but PSB is a very good rock speaker. Deep tight bass when they're up on spikes. Wide soundstaging and not overly detailed.They have metal tweeters (but not bright), so with a well matched source, they will provide ... | |
| new to this The Jolida jd 9 is a very well regarded pre. If you got the Elys cartridge, it may take some dialing in due to it's high output, but in the end you'll have a lush tube sound. And there are so many sonic possibilities if you want to roll the tubes.... | |
| Pangea Power Cables comments Pangea's are a major upgrade from the stock cables. In fact, they are at the top of the line in a budget cable.I am using higher-end cables now, and it's a whole different world, but also a blow to my bank account.If I need another PC, I would mos... | |
| Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously? Many Rock albums in the 80s were still being recorded on analogue tape. Look at their corresponding CD and see how many say ADD or AAD (AAD...using an analogue mixing board and tape). I don't know how U2 with their budget would record back then, b... | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings Jetrexpro, that explains a lot. But don't get me started on DG's entrance into digital. They ruined some great recordings. | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings As to Karajan's recordings, those done in the Berlin Philharmonie from around 1978 onwards are compromised. Earlier ones are much better, on both DG and EMI.Agree with your Karajan DG findings, which makes little sense since late analogue recordin... | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings My take on DG is that they always had some of the best artists and performances of any label, but the recording quality was inconsistent. I also own DG records from the 60s and 70s and many times have been disappointed by the recording quality. IM... | |
| ARC CD3 follow up questions In reference to your other thread, what caused the disk read problem? Did the shop make any adjustments? | |
| Equalizers - don't listen to the nay sayers I just noticed Broadstone has a Peachtree DAC/Pre. A CDP to DAC would keep it in the digital domain, but I'm assuming he's currently using an older analogue EQ unit.Behringer makes very nice digital EQs and would keep the front end digital. | |
| Equalizers - don't listen to the nay sayers That's the whole issue with EQ...using it for analogue gear. Easy to keep it in the digital domain in the studio, but not so at home; a CDP as a source and an analogue preamp as the destination. | |
| Equalizers - don't listen to the nay sayers I'm glad to see your update, Broadstone. What EQ are you using (how many bands?) Have you researched the 1/3 Octave EQ which would isolate more of the frequencies? | |
| ARC CD 3 Doesn't read disc? I can count on one hand the number of skips I've had on my CD3 mkII. It's important to keep the laser clean and the entire disk assembly free of dust.I don't use a Q-tip just in case it leaves a stray fiber; I use a thin painter's brush (the brush... | |
| My new TV doesn't have an RCA video in..... My answer is the same as Tls49. My Samsung uses a combined component/composite in. The input is labeled"Y/VIDEO"...the yellow "Y" RCA is for composite.But it's good advise to check the menu settings for the correct input. | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation You are correct, Sir. Look for a 1/3-octave EQ. Since you are staying in the analogue domain, you may not even hear any noise being introduced due to your hearing issues.This is an example of the type of EQ I am referring to... DBX"RAIN" also make... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation A good start Broadstone. Now that you've experienced what EQ can do and learned the basics, you can move up to a better EQ. |
