| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? Going back to the vinyl pressings, I am in the process of getting some records, mostly rock records and also some jazz, swing, blues etc. Options are to get older pressings from Discog listed as Mint by sellers with positive reviews, budget is lim... | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? It remains a pity that almost nothing new is now recorded AAA, even by believers. Given the resurgence of vinyl, this is perhaps a seam that can profitably be mined. Sad but true, although I am seeing a "market" for D2D but it is insignificant... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Ralph, I get it, I'm just saying that to me (a learning noob with analog) is fascinating how mechanics (including proper tracking) will provide 80% of the magic while electrical parameters the remaining 20% (using these values as an example).Now y... | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? Even if you add the frequencies just the initial conversion filters IIR or FIR (simplifying), format, bits, final analog stage, Fpga or off shelf chip or ladder involved will provide its own signature. Then when playing back the digital content yo... | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? @clearthinker Digital lovers don't believe this. They believe that at high enough sampling and bit rates the digital sound will approximate extremely closely to the analogue curve beyond the ability of the ear to distinguish and that it's poss... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Ralph following your comments it would seem the entire "magic" of TT reproduced audio it is most closely related to mechanical parameters (rigidity, mass, adjustments etc) than the electrical ones (MC or MM etc, even the cartridge stylus (mechanic... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @chakster Even with MM some people always like high output, don't know why, some people think louder is better (I do not agree).I think it depends on the phono stage, if you have a not so good phono stage with not so much gain the high output car... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Makes sense, yet industry pushed the concept that MC was superior to MM, possibly the case for LOMC, 5 years ago I don't recall seeing the LOMC / HOMC terminology much spreaded, as I remember your posts were the first I found here advocating for v... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @atmasphere and @chakster Assuming an LOMC cart (and proper arm mass matching compliance) I understand the inductance parameter being lowest will push the resonant frequency (ringing) further into non-audible spectrum, you also get the benefit of ... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @chakster For MC a high output is something like 1.7mV (but such MC carts must be avoided). People who’re using a high output MC do not understand that high output = coil winding and higher moving mass. LOMC with 0.2 - 0.5 mV are better than HOMC... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @rauliruegas Dear Raul, you are partially correct, I have to learn (about ANALOG) and that's why I am reading on this site the forums and if you noticed not participating or voicing my opinion at all actively on this site, at least in regards to t... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @atmasphere but then I remembered how important loading is for high output cartridges,Hi Ralph, as always you have all the right answers, what would you consider as a high output cartridge? Anything over 3mV?Best Wishes Luis | |
| Swarming! I have dual Daytons and both are dead silent | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes so the resoldering process is to fill the hollow pins with solder? | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? Dear almarg:Your posts and advice deserves historically (at least from my perspective) a complete and proper answer.If I am interpreting correctly (and I’m not sure that I am), I believe Luis is saying that completely disconnecting the "looped,"... |
