| whistling in the ears hi,I have both tinnitus and eharing loss from years of playing live shows and recording at ear splitting volumes. It is a lot better now that I don't tour. My only encouragementto you is that it can get better and cutting out caffeine, nicotine te... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable funny this went on so long, dan and albert already said it. | |
| VPI Rim Drive vs. belt drive sound files of course this is VPI table thread. I wouldn't go so far as to make it a rim drive vs belt vs dd thread. | |
| Thinking about selling Vinyl collection - long i think the main isue is that it very hard to get your money's worth out of records unless you sell them slowly one at a time. dealers dont give you much nor will stores (even less). SOmeone else is looking at the time it will take just like you a... | |
| Tape Project Tapes well along with how things are dubbed etc., tape machines take a lot of set up to work properly. You have align your machine to get the best sound out of it and if you want to aling it properly, you'd need distortion measruing equipment which alm ... | |
| Japanese Vinyl? i have the same set. it is mastered a little funny but you know chuck's stuff is often thin. I don't know what masters they have but i know from my originals, that there are cut hotter in the mids and they sound better but i think p-vine commands ... | |
| Japanese Vinyl? i like the victor pressing and king pressings which are a great value for jazz as they are usually clean and can sound great. Other stuff is hit and miss. japanese vinyl usually has quiet surfaces and a decent amount of detail, but the source mate... | |
| The Best $10,000.00 Table + Cartridge i'm somewhere in with jazdoc. you can go a LOT of ways though. The vintage route is getting over priced but then so is the high end route. You could get a thorens 124 and a 3009 arm and a custom plinth too. I would reccomend a galibier as thom nt ... | |
| first vinyl purchase for new tt well i dont know what you like! Mingus "ah um" is a treat on vinyl. An orignal Television "Marquee Moon" is nice. The rca bartok reiner "music for stings, percussion and celeste is wonderful, but you know, this is all my taste. Lots of great sound... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 you are in a little trouble. The whole design of the dunlvay was based on matching the speakers to each other, so john threw out a lot of speakers getting a set that worked together andtested the same. To get the samne effect you would have to tes... | |
| speakers for classical music i can see the dipole route for chamber music but if you listen to a lot of large group or orchestra music, the "best" would be a truly full range speaker which is going to be large like an apogee full range. The big dunlavy's or duntech's get the ... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic well live music is horrifically over amplified, so i am not surprised you would feel fatigue. Some speakers do "sing" a little more at higher volumes, but most good speakers will sound pretty good at both low and high volume within reason.I am not... | |
| Current feeling on stacked quads? oh it's all interesting. i have a lot of nice speakers and my pair of quads are quite nice. i suppose i have wondered about getting a larger throw area and somewhat higher spl. i have also thought of martin logan cls, or acoustat 2+2's. never hear... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? I tend to think you have to think about the speaker as a whole not just the tweeter.Of the many speakers I have, I consider Dunlavy's the most transparent all around. I would say that there are speakers like certain martin logans which are more tr... | |
| 78 RPM - Potential for better sound than digital? in terms of the sound issues, what I mean is that systems are geared and tested with whatever the current software is. Speaker designers are going to be listening to LP's or cd's not 45's or 78's. Jukeboxes sound great for 45's because they were t... |
