| Have you asked yourself this question? @hifinut51 You are certainly not alone. Those of us with thousands of records are sort of stuck. Although your vinyl playback system is lack luster, getting to something that can give digital a little bit of a run for its money requires a subst... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks Treble like bass is a moving target all because our ears change their frequency response with volume. My last processor had dynamic loudness compensation. It changed both bass and treble relative to the volume following Fletcher - Munso... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @rauliruegas Maybe true, but it is the thought that counts:-) | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab , That's nice. I have a good friend who is a recording engineer. He knows virtually nothing about HiFi systems. He listens to music all day. The last thing he wants to do is listen to more at home. I really do not want to be condescendi... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks You have to pardon my sense of black humor. I have to use hair spray or it sticks strait up. I'm too old to look like Maynard James Keenan. Which Martin Logans are you using? They and your room are the most important part of your syst... | |
| Relaxing Records for Better Sound - Using the AFI FLAT @surge Correct. I use vacuum clamping. What I meant was records that vacuum won't clamp are sent back. That number is very small. I do not have trouble with warped records because I use vacuum clamping. I would no live without it. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks I noticed you have not posted your system. What exactly are you using that allows you to make these incredulous statements. @h4k4lugi That is perfectly normal. All subwoofers need some correction because of the room they are in. This... | |
| cleaning gritty surface noise on LPs I'm afraid you will not be able to fix these records. Cleaning, as you have already noted, does nothing. Somewhere down the line something happened to them, maybe played with a bad stylus. In a last ditch effort, incase somebody sprayed them with ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks Tone shaping? tl anything, and I mean anything you try to do analog I can do digitally better. All I have to do is look at the amplitude curve you prefer and I can mimic it exactly with less distortion. I can store it in a preset and p... | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! Absolutely not. A true audiophile is never satisfied as perfection only exists in the mind. Besides, somebody has to support these poor bastards. @mark200mph The process of being alive is anything but healthy, it is a fatal disease. So, get sto... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab I'm not railing against EQ. I railing against analog EQ. It does not matter how well you think you can do it analog. I can and do do it much better digitally. You might consider trying it sometime. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Analog Equalization causes havoc with image generation. This is why serious audiophiles steered away from toner controls and EQ in the past. Any major errors in amplitude were controlled at least in part by acoustic treatments. Fine control over... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @pindac It is not how fast you go, but how you go fast. @lewm With only so much money to spend and only so much real estate in my media room I prefer to head down the path of least resistance. Negating skating forces is a noble cause. Minimiz... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? For some woofers yes, they do loosen up a little. For planar magnetics and ESLs most definitely. Their diaphragms are tensioned with a heat gun they then relax to the right tension. Some ribbon speakers will actually relax to much in time and requ... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge The Nagaoka cartridges are fine but if you want quiet and R+R slam the Goldring 1042 is the ticket. |
