| New LP's made from analog or digital masters "Many new LP releases are made entirely in the analog domain, and clearly state so."What % ballpark? 50%? 10%? More or less? | |
| New LP's made from analog or digital masters "As I have said in other forums:perhaps since vinyl is the only format in the music business that is showing GROWTH,the big labels will jump into the fray.Not only do I doubt it, but I seriously hope it does not happen because the result will only... | |
| New LP's made from analog or digital masters " I have several digitally-mastered albums that are almost inextinguishable from the redbook version played on a very good DAC."Those must be the ones that are not warped and do not have a lot of surface noise that many new record buyers these day... | |
| New LP's made from analog or digital masters I'm guessing mostly digital for cost effectiveness and profitability but do not know for certain. | |
| Treble Grain? How to Eliminate? mhdt Paradisea or Constantine. Both are smooth as silk. | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? "These folks feel it is their 'duty' to 'save' the world from whatever they don't like. Gee, thanks guys."The difference between celebrities and politicians for that matter) and most people in this regard is that the celebrities have the stage, co... | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass Here's more background info on cartridge compliance, resonance frequency, and potential impact for rumble, etc.http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/tonearmcartridge.html Hope this helps. | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass YEs, changing cartridges may have an effect but I am not certain how to determine what to switch to to assure desired results. Higher compliance maybe? Something that produces a different resonant frequency with the specific tonearm utilized perha... | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass YEah, its rumble originating from the warp inherent in many records that is typically at highest magnitude at the beginning of the side/outer edge perhaps magnified by sonic feedback from vibrations.A concrete floor is good. IS the table sitting o... | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? "He presents himself as a politically important figure"He must have a fantastic PR organization behind him because a lot of people, especially certain media outlets, seem to buy it. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? http://reviews.audioreview.com/blog/indepth-user-review-of-the-high-end-but-money-saving-ohm-microwalsh-talls/Another new OHM MWT review. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Para,Accuracy may be part of it, but I don't think it is the whole story.When I saw PT live a year or so back in a moderately small club venue, the sound was very loud, very clean and very in your face, the loudest concert I've been to where my ea... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Parasound,Don't get me wrong, the OHM Walshes do very well with heavy rock music. I'm just saying they are inherently laid back. ALong with that, they do not induce fatigue while listening which makes for very good extended listening sessions.I'm ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? One more thought on OHM Walshes and Porcupine Tree.One thing the omni OHM Walshes do not do inherently is "kick you in the face" when playing harder forms of rock music, as many more directional designs will. Sometimes with harder forms of rock sp... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi, never heard it but it has good reviews and seems a viable candidate to run the 100s. Spec, vintage and cost wise, it is in the same ballpark as the Musical Fidelity A3CR I use. I think you would have to try it and see. If you do not overpay... |
