| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? "they will send the master digital file with the understanding that the LP mastering engineer will deal with it as needed. "Isn’t that pretty much what they sent the CD mastering engineer as well? The end result will depend mostly on what determin... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? Its a dog eat dog world. Always has been, always will. Mother nature can be cruel that way and always wins. We’ve just managed to change the paradigm to money and wealth as the main weapon to help determine the winners. You can both play the gam... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Really good info. Thanks so much. | |
| No bass with new turntable? Off course make sure the recordings you test with have good bass to start with. Many records do but many do not. Could be an inferior copy on vinyl of something that sounds good on CD. What records are you testing with specifically? | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Fun with fuses....Papa, yes, I know what you mean. Next time I open up my gear I'll have to see what kind of fuses the makers stuck in there. Hopefully up to par with the other parts. Or maybe not. | |
| No bass with new turntable? Check these published specs I found for Ortofon 2m red to see if good match to Sphinx phono specs (or check with Rogue for feedback and maybe a cart recommendation if not):Specifications Output voltage at 1000 Hz, 5cm/sec.: 5.5 mV Recommended loa... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Atmasphere I know it can be different for that reason. My question is if it is in fact done that way? What is the intended audience? Audiophiles that care about the best possible sound or Iphone and Bluetooth speaker users looking for a new toy? A... | |
