Turntable Resonance Fix I should probably add, the general term for this is ringing. One thing excites another until the whole mess is ringing. The best demonstration of this I know is this one by Max Townshend. https://youtu.be/BOPXJDdwtk4?t=5 The demo is a speaker but ... | |
Turntable Resonance Fix sixfour3: Thanks again to @millercarbon for his advice. This has to be simultaneously the cheapest and most effective fix for an audio problem that I’ve yet come across. You're welcome. Happy to have helped. You have a really good handle on th... | |
New set up in asymmetrical room - speaker placement etc That room is fine. The window shades are diffusors. Fireplace too, if you get that big table out of the way. You do not in general want anything between the speakers, and if there is then the bigger and flatter the worse it is. Play around, you wi... | |
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? @millercarbon where are you located? I would love to come by for a listen! bigkidz-Sorry, only just now noticed your question. I am just east of Seattle in Redmond. A long trip to be sure but worth it, we have one from NH and another from TX... | |
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? Wow cleeds you are right, that really is a heaping bowl of word salad! Plebian! He threw "plebian" in there! "Oracular golden ear pontiffs"! Shouldn't it be "oracular golden eared pontiffs"? Either way, I resemble that remark! | |
Manufacturers past their heyday Now you're talking! Silvertone. Definitely past its prime. How many remember Kenner? https://toytales.ca/close-n-play-phonograph-from-kenner-1973/ Kenner is so far past its heyday nobody even knew it had a heyday! How about MAG LEV? Or did t... | |
New set up in asymmetrical room - speaker placement etc Click your name, select Details, you will need to create a new System and then it is easy to upload images. You can also write whatever you want in a description, and also post comments and get comments from others. https://systems.audiogon.com/... | |
Manufacturers past their heyday millercarbon,You must be joking mentioning Klipsch. They are certainly experiencing Days of Glory with the Heritage line the last few years. In that case then it would be a rebirth. Glory days, well they'll pass you by, as the great philosopher s... | |
Manufacturers past their heyday Hey there. "Heyday" is all one word: the time when a person or thing's success or popularity is greatest. I rather doubt even CJ has been at its greatest for the whole 40 years. | |
Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! In order to ask that question you first have to know the preamp does indeed have a greater impact. So far all you know is between those two unnamed ones it does. | |
Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Neither has any bearing on the matter at hand. No time to go into that now, my platter is full. | |
Tracking error or ?? It just is. Just like I knew it was anti-skating, others know its something they know nothing about. One of the mysteries of the universe. | |
Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers What did you learn? You pretty much accused the guy of stealing your money to use interest free, knocked his whole business model, holding yourself up as a paragon of business virtue while really doing nothing more than whining about a situation y... | |
My Apologies to Miller Carbon That strikes me as a really good approach. What seems to happen is there is a sort of dielectric saturation process that happens with everything, until it reaches a sort of equilibrium. The majority of this happens pretty fast but the last little ... | |
Do you integrate a stereo preamp with HT system? The best solution for the family and sound quality is get rid of the surround. With stereo no confusion, no switching, and no crappy HT sound quality. |
