| problem with levinson no 37? I actually have not contacted anyone--even though I know a few people there. I assumed that it just did not play CD-Rs--and designed this way from the start. Most of my high end equipment (and even not so high end like my Sony DVP9000ES) does not ... | |
| problem with levinson no 37? I burned another one last night. I got the E TOC BAD SPIN BAD DISC messages. Would not play. This was on the best burner I've used (Yamaha CDRW-F1), Mitsui gold CD-R, and burned at 1x with Nero. We use this for our masters and the quality is super... | |
| VPI Aries w/SDS and Flywheel SetUp Question Your strobe is probably off. Someone recently had a very good suggestion. Put a piece of tape on the platter and count the rotations for a 3 minute period. It should be 100. Adjust your speed accordingly. I thought this was a great suggestion. For... | |
| problem with levinson no 37? I'm going to try it again. If I recall I got a BAD DISC error. It has been a long time since I tried it, and it's possible I have not done this with my new writter. Will let you know. My hybrid CDs read fine. I do have at least two Rhino discs tha... | |
| problem with levinson no 37? That's weird to me. I haven't been able to get any copies to play in the 37. | |
| room treatments? is it the room that's bright? Looks like something happened to our post. We went into some detail on what to look at and some caveats--but I returned to the thread to find that it's not there. Anyway, you do have a few frequencies giving you trouble such as 160. 40 Hz appears ... | |
| room treatments? is it the room that's bright? The reason you are doing two measurements is to determine if the problem areas are solely at the listening position (sitting in a peak or a null), or if the problem is broader than that--a true frequency "suck out" or boost. Most cases are a combi... | |
| Bass Trap Questions.... First of all there are different types of bass traps and they function in entirely different ways. There are resonant types, capacitive types, and absorptive types. The circular ones are absorptive, the diameter and distance from the wall will aff... | |
| New Subwoofer vs Bass traps. I would not advise using a bass trap for this. For one, it's unlikely it will do what you want it to do in terms of attenuation. Bass traps work for broadband applications, with some exceptions such as capacitive style bass traps. The capicitive s... | |
| Record Cleaner Side Effects? I have read similar things. I have read tests of new albums being opened--played, then cleaned and played and the top end "lost it's magic". I have heard of two identical records being opened at the same time--one cleaned, one not cleaned and the ... | |
| "Parts upgrade" on crossovers -Any experiences? I lean pretty strongly towards--don't mess with it, if it isn't broken. Cross-overs are voiced for the speakers. In most cases, even with improved parts and wires, you will usually take 1 step forward and 3 steps back. I could go into examples--bu... | |
| Trying to build a near ref. listening room? Help Greg, thank you. Please do visit our site. I'll be very frank here--designing a reference listening room is not easy, and it's too expensive to do it wrong. There is so much that goes into it, from sound isolation, dimensions, construction methods... | |
| 1/2" Celotex instead of sheetrock in sound room? Sandwich two layers of sheetrock an either side of the Celotex. This gives you a high, low, high mass property and serves as very good isolation. It is not as good as using resilient channels, but short of that method of construction it works very... | |
| Are Isoberic Subs any good such as James 10SX? I believe your right. Sorry for the confusion. | |
| Are Isoberic Subs any good such as James 10SX? I've listened to the sub you mentioned and I have to say I was very impressed at how good it sounded for a small and relatively inexpensive package. Yes, there are better subs, but I think for that size and money they have really raised the bar. I... |
