| Amy Winehouse LP Sound Quality What label is the Winehouse LP? It was recorded at Daptone studio in Brooklyn as a live, direct to analog tape recording and all Daptone vinyl releases are pure analog recordings. I'm only familiar with the CD release, which to my ears, sounds fin... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) Now I'm really confused, not that that is an usual state of affairs. Can bass traps solve frequency response suckouts, or not? I maintain they can't. For those who maintain that bass traps are the solution, please estimate how large a trap would b... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) A bass trap is a passive device that can only dissipate acoustic energy from a room. As such it can never eliminate a null in room response since it cannot add energy into the room. However, if you have two bass peaks it's possible that room traps... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) Bass traps cannot fill in bass nulls. | |
| Amy Winehouse LP Sound Quality You people just need to leave Amy alone. I mean like stop picking on Amy.Regarding the sound quality -- the production is intended to be highly compressed. They were going for a classic Motown sound. Compare The Winehouse to Sharon Jones' "100 Day... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) How broad is the width of the suckout? If it's narrow you should just ignore it. Bass traps or EQ won't help with narrow band suckouts. Try moving your listening position. Sometimes even a half foot in any direction can help. | |

| What is the BEST phono stage It's not a question of better or best, it's more about what works with your other components and how that fits your own preferences. Do you really know what you are looking for? Remember, you're the person who couldn't figure out how to connect th... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? ATC, Bryston, Manley and EAR make amplifiers suitable for professional and audiophile applications. Also didn't Boulder start out making pro-oriented amps.I agree with the tone of Shadorne's comments about audiophiles wanting a softer presentation... | |
| an amp without "electronic" sound Check out this old thread. | |
| midrange forwardness Get a parametric equalizer. | |
| No bass in the Proac Response 3 You need to experiment more with speaker positioning. Also experiment with the listening position. You should be able to get bass response solidly down into the 40Hz range with the ProAcs. | |
| .wav to .flac conversion using MAC OS X Ksalous, why are your original files in WAV? If you have to manually enter streams of data, then you really aren't backing up the files. Your method has really complicated what could have been a simple process. I think you should consider starting... | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres It's an inanimate object. If you feel like moving on it's not like the turntable will become depressed or suicidal. Why even ask for other people's opinions? |
