| Bluetooth Turntable? @brianhurlburt I’ve considered the purchase of a bluetooth turntable for the sole purpose of digitizing my small collection of LP albums and 45 RPM singles so as to build up a digital library that will allow me to play them back on my network brid... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @medialies I agree with you and David. Nevertheless, getting it all sorted out is proving to be a challenge. Also, while quality speakers are definitely a priority, there is more than one way to design a speaker, and each type of design has its o... | |
| All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare Good analysis @jjss49. @ghdprentice I think you meant to write ‘Rogue,’ not ‘Rouge’ since we’re talking about manufacturers, not face makeup or French for ‘red., (Sorry, I couldn’t resist the urge to correct an error that could as likely be attrib... | |
| Rumble showed up on NEW record??? @noromance Wait, it gets better,@nlitworld posted a link on the ‘Weak Link in Vinyl Playback’ thread to a ‘cheap vertical alignment block’ which I purchased, and used to check my alignment, I found that the ‘expert’ who sold me the turntable, upgr... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld Another testimony for the ‘cheap vertical alignment block’ cited above. It is certainly smaller in real life than it appears on the website (a frequent issues I have with web purchases), but it works well and helped me ‘correct’ what wa... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @stuartk @rodman99999 @edisoncarter Moving my head a few inches to the left certainly helps me on the upstairs system. I moved the boxes off the left wall and stood up to make sure my ears were centered between the two speakers: Wow, what a diffe... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 Thanks for the tips, especially Paul McGowan’s video: I’ve got the bookcases, I just need to be more intentional in how I’m arranging them in the room. | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 I had to generate three searches on Google to begin to understand your latest post. I appreciate your references to affordable acoustic panels and bass traps. I have more flexibility to create and modify the space downstairs. My first... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @edisoncarter I will grant you two points: (1) You are correct insofar as locus of the stereographic image, but (and it’s a big but), the head needs the proper input in order to create the image. As the research discovered that went into the LEDR... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @stuartk I’ll keep trying, don’t worry. At this point, I’m wondering if the speakers are too big for the room. I certainly enjoy how their sound ‘fills the room,’ but I’m missing how the Warfedale’s (which I still have) radiated a decent sound sta... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 Well the Chesky CD arrived today, it came from the San Francisco Public Library via eBay. In my case, it seems the question, ‘From Whence comes Sound Stage?” is answered “Whither goes the Stereo Image!” That is to say, both of my sy... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @bolong Looks like my usage wasn’t so bad after all, thank you for your contribution. @dz13 I agree with your clear and cogent analysis. The issue for me is with reproducing the sound stage in the room. The speakers upstairs work very differently... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @williewonka @rodman99999 I plan to consider upgrades to my cables once I can settle on a system configuration that pleases me. For the moment, I make my own out of Mogami 2534 (2 twisted pair) bulk and Nuetrix (or Switchcraft). I have made ... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @bdp24 Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the interview and I agree with Paul about the importance of decent speakers, I wasn’t really hearing a Sound Stage until I acquired the B&W 801s, and I can understand Harry Pearson’s obsession with it; onc... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @asctim I think you and I are on the same page. I have stated above that there must be a strong psycho-acoustic element to all this to even have a stereo image to begin with. The LEDR test signals rodman9995 shared takes it a step further to evalu... |
