| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… @toddcowles I am Beta testing a DEQX Pre 8 as we speak. It will be a lot easier to set up than the premate and it has a way faster processor running 64 bit floating point. It has much higher digital limits. It also has a Volumio processor so it st... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @amtprod The problem with rooms that size is you start to get into echo problems. That echo gives away the size of the room. You want to hear the acoustics in the recording, not those of your room. You wind up in the wrong venue. The solutions are... | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… High gauge speaker wire might affect the bass, but your problem is most likely the room. Not being able to play loud is a VERY common problem due to too much energy in the 2 to 4 kHz region usually due to room reflections. Lack of isolation causes... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? @sokogear The mat on the Sota (the hard part) does not extend to the edge of the record. It is 11.5" in diameter. Only the soft vacuum seal extends past the lip of the record. Because there is a recess for the label and the mat is as hard as vinyl... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @amtprod If the room is really bad there will be positions where the woofers won't be functioning. You have to walk around to find the bass. The single most important aspect to building a great system is finding a good room to put it in. When I w... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? @bdp24 They are not the only ones that do that. The Mat on my Sota is 11.5" in diameter for just that reason. Beyond that is the soft lip which forms the seal when vacuum is running. | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 There is no right one way to setting up a subwoofer system, but there are some common denominators. The first is as @erik_squires described, a complete two way crossover is mandatory preferably digital because this is the only way to accurately ti... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers There are a host of reasons this sort of thing can occur and it usually is a combination of factors including, bad speaker design, defective driver, bad amp/speaker match and room acoustics. A peak at 100-130 Hz is going to make a system with wh... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? @bdp24 I recently recorded to hard drive the Classic Records 45 RPM Led Zeppelin box set. I do not recall the records having a flat profile, but maybe that came along after the set was published. There is an advantage to the flat profile and that ... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? Another new one. Now what about lathes! | |
| Weirdest record defect? @heretobuy That is a very common problem if you have a spindle that is exactly the right size and not undersized. I keep a spindle hole drill right by my table. Many spindles are undersized. | |
| Weirdest record defect? It is rumble generated by the lathe. Many records have this problem. When you have a large subwoofer array this problem is extremely annoying. This is due to old poorly maintained lathes being used to cut lacquers. | |
| Best Sounding Ribbon Speakers The Apogee Diva, when it was new, was the best sounding ribbon speaker of all time. It was a maintenance disaster. Magneplanar wins the award for the best overall ribbon tweeter. Ribbon speakers make no sense when there are amazing ESLs out the... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? @helomech I know several sets of fossil ears that are way more sensitive than juvenile examples. It may be the monitoring device that counts. @grislybutter I drove a 355. Wonderful driver. You have to change the timing belts every 10,000 miles. T... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? @gkelly Great find! It is interesting that they are having trouble finding a suitable substitute for PVC. All the suitable plastics are just as toxic. PVC is ubiquitous and very durable. Finding a better material is going to be very tough. |
