| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! I'm curious to hear the actual solution that was the initial intent of this discussion. From my standpoint I have an answer. Buy Vandersteen. Not dull or lifeless! | |
| What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings? There was a lot of variation on LP pressing in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. There was a bunch of different pressing plants just within the USA and there could be a number of reissues the same year as the original release and up to 10 years later... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers OP, are the spikes going completely through the carpet and making full contact with the floor? | |
| Another anti vibration solution -Primacoustics @jtcf Thanks for the information. What are you using to provide the space between the bottom of the speaker and the Primacoustics platoform to allow the port to breath? I see that some of the Zu speakers come with a platform under the speakers ... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... I was only 7 at the time but was aware of the buzz from my sister who was three years older. I don’t recall what I did that day but was banished to my bedroom for unacceptable behavior and missed the program. But for Christmas that year I asked fo... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. OP, Don’t be discouraged by the negative comments in reference to "new vinyl" including my own. While in many cases I have preferred the original pressings from my youth I have also purchased many of the repressed and remastered LP’s that are ava... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. I am a firm believer in the superiority of a good early pressing from the 60's, 70's and early 80's. I started a mission a few years ago to replace some of my favorite albums that had seen better days and can say that probably half or more of what... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @hilde45 @jtcf Thanks for the responses. I did see on their website that Townshend also offers Seismic Bars for bottom ported speakers as noted by surfcat. I will also research the Primacoustics platforms as noted. | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) Interesting post. I have Vandersteen Treo's that have a down firing port for the bass drivers. Currently have them mounted on IsoAcoustics ISO-Puck 76's on a wood over concrete floor. Any comments on how I would accommodate the Townshend Seismic... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jeff Beck Group - The Orange Album 1972 Epic Records | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? ELO - Out Of The Blue 1977 UA/Jet Records early pressing Hadn't listened to this one in years. Great album for ELO fans and SQ on this pressing is super. Took me by surprise. . | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... There is a good article in Wikipedia. Just plug in Loudness War in their search field. It mainly occurred in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. It was not a good time for CD sound quality and I can usually pick up on it pretty easily when listening to ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Happy New Year to all. Health and Happiness! Traffic - Shootout At The Fantasy Factory 1973/2021 Island Records RM Nice pressing. Very good SQ. | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... @soix All I can say is one man's trash is another man's treasure. We all have different sounding systems and we all hear things differently and I'm not saying Brother's early DDD CD sounds better than the MFSL 45 RPM Remaster. My original AAD co... | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... My first experience with CD’s was somewhere around the mid 80’s when I purchased my first CD player by Sony and I thought it sounded great mainly due to the clarity of the format and lack of the background noise inherent in records that could have... |
