| new Allison Krause & Robert Plant Pressing seems noisy Bad pressing. Could be it is the stamper in which case virtually all will be like that and no point trying to exchange. Or could be your copy in which case maybe the next one is a lot better. Records being what they are you would only have to send... | |
| What is that weird noise in the mix of Sympathy For the Devil? That's because Mick has the Stones music mastered to sound best on the 6x9 coaxial in the dash of a 1969 Mustang. Or was it Camaro? Never could keep those straight. | |
| Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage Right. My first phono stage was the ARC PH3SE. It was $2500, almost exactly what I paid for the Basis turntable, and Graham arm. Each. Back then I was already into budgeting but people misunderstand budgeting. The right way to do it is like ghdpre... | |
| Position of speaker cables and irregular behavior Reading along I started thinking, "I wonder if this guy has moved his cables so much he's worn them out?" Then later sure enough, broken. The thing about insulation, you can't see inside. Could be enough strands broken to affect the sound but no... | |
| What is that weird noise in the mix of Sympathy For the Devil? Okay, I get it now. OP is unable to distinguish between the mix, the master, the pressing or copy, the playback, the broadcast, and his system. A common enough problem. This is why so many people think the speaker is so important. They hear the so... | |
| Subwoofer cable question Even now after years of clarification still we have members sharing misinformation. Please do a search and read through all the excellent factual information provided by myself, Tim, Duke and of course the research papers by Geddes, et al. These a... | |
| Should I redo the AC power in my house? Harumpf, harumpf, goes the relfex. | |
| Should I redo the AC power in my house? Watching the Fremer video now. Perfect example of what I have been saying over and over again to people quoting code: Code is nothing to do with sound quality. Code is for safety. You can do it perfectly to code and still have crap. (Where by th... | |
| What is that weird noise in the mix of Sympathy For the Devil? The song is Sympathy for the Devil. There is no weird noise. There is only the music that came flowing out of these guys for this one lightning bolt of genius. | |
| Subwoofer cable question All subs are mono. That's just life below 80. | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. If you really want a terrific bottom end it doesn'y cost anywhere near ten grand but it does involve 4 subs. $3k will get you there easy. And I know, because I have that terrific bottom end- both the speakers and the cart/turntable. Which by the w... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Supertwitters continue to be a problem around here. I recommend just ignore them. Roxy54 on the other hand is some kind of super audiophile. Feel free to keep bugging me. It can take a while sometimes but in the end it usually works. Like I ju... | |
| Should I redo the AC power in my house? Probably blown a fuse just having to read "Fremmer" over and over again. The list of things I've done to my AC is long, and trust me, greater than anything you will get installed for $5k. The list of things I would spend $5k on before paying for a... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided Spendors? Which ones? | |
| Coiling XLRs.... yes or no? What is that in miles per gallon? |
