| Why are my woofers pumping? Audiotomb - very interesting. I think my arm floats fine but will check when i get home. The HFN record lateral test shows very visible and sonic resonance ca 7hz while the vertical test is much less obvious (the test tone warbles a bit between ca... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? I am mystified. Why do i see woofer pumping playing Echoes on my small cottage system which is 6db down at 42hz and probably not audible below ca 38hz? All hail to DSD? I play a rip / recording of the same original vinyl that gives pumping in the ... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? I notice that Pink Floyd Echoes recorded from the LP on my system pumps the woofers also on my cottage system! | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Thanks Atmasphere - yes the low reach of the amps in combo with the speakers may play a role. But with the Triplanar you dont have the problem. Do you know the resonance of your arm cart combo?Lathes - low frequency - ok - but if it happens betwe... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Listening to vinyl rips from main system, on my cottage system. No pumping of course - the Aurum Cantus speakers only go down to 40 hz or so. So music is limited but it also sounds nicely peaceful. No harm done - sins of omission not commision in ... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? I already know that using single ended outputs from my phono stage curbs the pumping compared to using balanced outputs. But it also sounds much poorer! So to give the KAB a fair chance it would need an xlr to rca adapter (thanks, stereo5). Not su... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Thank you miner42 and stereo5. It may take some time, but i wish to try your suggestions. Although changing the arm or the cart might be optimal, no one so far knows for sure what works best in my system. | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences Thanks!Karl - happy you enjoy the Atlas, I do too, it is in a very high league. My cantilever is maybe not quite optimal but I have never sent it in for a check. Whatthe - I would probably think so too, with the Atlas SL. But my phono stage needs ... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Pink Floyd LPs - a quick test of woofer pumping1 The original LPs from the first years, not so much, deep sound is not recorded. 2 Notably more deep sound - increased pumping - overall sound is better - step by step - on Atom heart mother, and e... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? stereo5: I don't diss the KAB. I am only saying, single-ended cables from my balanced phono stage to my balanced preamp sound much poorer in my system, compared to balanced cables. So a filter, to become a plausible option, would have to be balanc... | |
| Talk but not walk? Fully agree - geoffkait.Maybe 80 percent of my tweaks have not worked out. 20 percent have worked out very well indeed. Only an idiot would overlook that. Terms like "esoteric" - as if sound was somewhat alien... | |
| Talk but not walk? I try to report here on Audiogon using my ears. It would be nice if we all do this. Less speculation - yes, fine. But often it is impossible. We dont have the same recordings,.systems, etc. Informed "guessing" from Audiogon members - even if they ... | |
| Cartridge replacment time Hi Englebert -welcome - Bose 301s - thats interesting - I had 901s for many years and have a Revox B77 too (now on my loft). If you find a Lyra cart to a reasonable price, you would probably like it - and not look back. I started with the Lyra Cla... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I left the Aesthetix Io on all the time - since the sound is best, fully warmed up - but it was probably not a good idea. The time plus heat factor led to repairs. Now, I turn all my tube components off and on, even if I have to wait an hour for g... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences mmakshak gave a good comment, above: "Reading all this, you can see how intellectual arguments can lead anywhere(especially if you get one thing wrong). I use parameters as an outside guiding force-not the be all and end all of all things. You... |
