| What in the world is going on..... The issue is not with my volume control. The problem is what happens when you send too hot a signal to the cutter head, which, IME caused the minor sibilance issues. This could have been avoided with more care. It is not terrible but it is there. ... | |
| What in the world is going on..... I'm not going to list my equipment and set up but rather say that after 40 years my system is good and my set up is spot on. Btw, cablepro, have you bought and listened to the vinyl copy? If so, what are your thoughts? I assume you have and have n... | |
| What in the world is going on..... "Songs from the Capeman", is the last great album by Paul, however, it was and one that flopped as a Broadway show. The song writing is excellent, the album has a fantastic flow to it and the sound is very good. I'm also a very big fan of "One Tr... | |
| What in the world is going on..... Roy Halee was the engineer I believe. He did the mixes on this album. This from Wikipedia: Simon also worked with longtime friend Roy Halee, who is listed as co-producer on the album. Halee, who had retired years earlier, was mostly recruited to... | |
| What in the world is going on..... Have you not noticed how loud this album is? Usually that is a sure sign of heavy handed compression. I'm going to make a digital transfer and will check the wav file. My guess is that I'll see plenty 9f chopped off peaks. | |

| Your recommendations for cost-effective and musical sounding headphones? I've used Grado RS 2, AKG 702's, 240's and Senn 600, as well as many others. IMO, Hifiman 400's kills all of them and have been the biggest and most significant upgrade in sound that I have experienced in a long time. | |
| The King Of... KC and the Sunshine Band. Yes, it is white mans disco but he had a great run of some actually good funky disco songs. | |
| Focal mini utopia they had to order a replacement driver from focal and it is being shipping from France. Still waiting for ts arrival. | |
| Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP Animals. I can't wait for the reissue. The original always sounded a bit muddy and compressed. | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? I'm a little ocd. | |
| tube monoblocks and preamp recommendations There is a Golden Tube Audio se40 with full sonicraft upgrade, as well as Jupiter cap upgrade here for 850. Full disclosure. I use to own this amp and it was fantastic. However, at the time I needed more tube watts. So, I sold it to the current se... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Actually, increasing the sampling frequency can remove some of the hardware issues with the implementation of brickwall filtering and the effect that it has on overall sound. Your mileage may very, though. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I did a few things in the mastering of it and think that it is a significantly improvement. | |
