| Turn down the Volume! @phusis , that is a very valid question which has a very politically difficult answer. Many people already think I am an arrogant SOB and from their perspective I am and nothing is going to convince them otherwise. So, in short, Mr Turnbull's sys... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album @big_greg , the Heron is a fine pre amp but, It is just a preamp. The DEQX provides preamp capabilities with a complete set of digital signal processing functions including bass management with the capability to match your subs in time and phase w... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album @big_greg , you are certainly not lacking in the subwoofer department. The two 13.5s I assume are JL Audios. What subwoofer uses two 15" drivers? Next time you are thinking about a new preamp you should check out the Trinnov Amethyst and the DEQ... | |
| Proper set up: worth the chase Speakers are 49% of the problem, The room is another 49% of the problem and everything else is 2% of the problem. If you do not know what you are doing, read a lot or get someone who does (that is not trying to sell you something) | |
| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs @dhcod , acoustic feedback occurs at a specific frequency and is a steady tone typically described as a howl. Rumble is very low frequency and lumpy for lack of a better term. It is low frequency garbage for either the bearing of your turntable ... | |
| Are all dBs created equal? Simple, the frequency response of the two speakers is different. The new speakers are brighter and our ears are most sensitive at 3000 Hz. If I EQ 3000 Hz up everyone's tendency is going to be to turn the volume down. This says nothing about how ... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album @big_greg , You have to know what the slope is. What They mean by crossover point is that the filter is 3 dB down at 20 Hz. It starts rolling off a little higher depending on the slope. Analog filters can not get as steep as digital without causin... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album @big_greg , I have a very effective digital rumble filter 80 dB/oct @ 18 Hz. I would estimate that 2/3 of the rumble is above 18 Hz and clearly audible on many discs. Pushing a rumble filter up higher destroys your bass especially if it is analog... | |
| Analog vs. digital @deludedaudiophile , It is what people come up with to supplant knowledge that I find most interesting. We do not like voids. We fill them in with .....mythology. | |
| After the thrill is gone @inscrutable , If the thrill is gone you bought the wrong speaker. I have done that at least 20 times. I start hearing the problems and then run into ones I can't fix. If I can't live with those problems the speaker goes. I have been through eve... | |
| Analog vs. digital @deludedaudiophile , the mysticism of ignorance. | |
| Analog vs. digital @ghdprentice , Come on! You know that was staged:-) It is an odd set of circumstances. For an absolute fact, digital reproduction has a much better signal to noise level and distortion that is at least an order of magnitude if not two less than a... | |
| Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output... @joenies , the phonograph cartridges starts out life as a "balanced" item, Plus, Minus and Ground. Why anyone would think strangling it with a Single Ended cable sounds better is beyond me. There are specific specifications for professional balanc... | |
| Why Rumble One Side of Album @vonhelmholtz , unfortunately, this is a very common problem. The masters of the sides may be cut on different lathes. A lathe can rumble just like a turntable. All the stampers made of that master will have to same rumble so generally all the re... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @daveyf , all you have left are insults? Common davey boy, how about that cheap stamped sheet metal sub chassis sitting atop three springs tuned to the wrong frequency and the crappy Masonite arm board flapping around in the breeze, the two piece ... |
