| Listening Descriptor Chart There’s been a couple times now I have written about listening skills and listener development. The beginning or bottom rung is volume. Frequency response is nothing more than volume- how loud each different frequency sounds. Both these charts tha... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers If the speakers are extremely heavy that is mass, which is in the kilograms, while the moving parts are cones and voice coils, are in the grams. What this means, if you know your physics, f=ma force equals mass times acceleration, you can have a h... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers a point you miss, and miss and miss…. Again with the insults. I am so done with you. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers So the guy who has nothing to sell you call a shill, while holding up as a paragon of impartial virtue a guy you know DOES have something to sell. Then after calling me a shill you have the gall to throw the low reading comprehension retort. ... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers The ultimate goal is for the speaker to be held in space as rigidly in space as possible so that any movement in any of the speakers drivers is not modified but a facsimile of what came from the amplifier. He may be right about this being the "... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Until you put his speakers on Podiums, and hear the profound improvement. Okay maybe not even then. But those still open to learning and with a desire for better sounding systems regardless of what else it might imply, those people will definitely... | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub The 2 prongs on a plug, one is hot the other neutral, aka utility ground. The third is earth ground and is redundant. Sometimes earth ground is your hum inducing ground loop. Removing the extra ground is an easy way to improve cheap power cords an... | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! itsjustme- MC - you are saying just use a record weight correct? First I said:Let me share just one thing, one tiny little thing: the record weight. First, it isn’t a weight. Barely 2oz, if that. It doesn’t weight, or clamp. It isn’t even one soli... | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps Indeed. Ignore the haters. We had several different amps here driving my Moabs- 20wpc Raven Blackhawk, 50wpc Melody integrated, 37wpc Bel Canto SET amp. The sound with all of them was impressive, with the Bel Canto SET being awesome in terms of dy... | |
| Subwoofer adjustment for each recording Right. Because, bass perception is highly variable and this is even on top of recording levels. The same music that seems to have too much bass will sound just right at a lower volume. This is where the Loudness switch came from, to turn bass up a... | |
| Wait time after record cleaning Millercarbon hit it on the head, though. A tough study for sure. Not the head. The navel. When performing your listening tests be sure to record and standardize relative humidity. If the record is to be air dried for 24 hours then ideally the... | |
| Cross over question So it was not "the Sumiko method" but the crossover/EQ changes that made the difference. | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! I would not worry about holding records down. My Origin Live Gravity One record "weight" disabused me of all that in no time flat. It was the general I-beam design that caught my eye, not the details of how it was implemented way back then. The So... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable danager- I was at the MillerFest( Chuxpona 2021 ???) Right, Chuxpona. Coulda sworn you were there when the term was coined. Not by me, sad to say. Was thinking it was you came up with it? Or were you the one who came up with, "Have you paid your m... |
