| Most recent concert LA Phil & Hollywood Bowl - The rehersals - the music is of course world class but to be in the room as the conductors - Dudamel and others discuss the finer points is just sublime. | |
| Rumble - turntable or background noise DG LP richardbrand - Good suggestion- let me ponder where. Update - I moved the sub about 20"+- away from the TT cabinet that it rests on. Could hear no difference the rumble. It is in a corner and toed in very slightly - I had to lower the volume a b... | |
| Rumble - turntable or background noise DG LP Thank you all for your info. I am going to reach out to DG. I'll let you know if they have any comments. | |
| Rumble - turntable or background noise DG LP dwette - The Pastoral is, the Dvroak is an earlier version. As of now it is a mystery. I played the first Pastoral (the one with the bump in the intro) and it sounds like the replacement, same rumbly sounds in places. Again, I get very little su... | |
| Rumble - turntable or background noise DG LP Thank you all - again. I think I will write to DG. This was my second copy of the Pastoral - ordered directly from Germany. The first one had a bump at that was hard to detect visually in the first 2-3 min. Unplayable with the thump. They sent ano... | |
| Rumble - turntable or background noise DG LP Hello - all good information and thank you. What I do not understand is why it is more present with the DG and not on the other vinyl. It would seem to me that if it is sound and vibration causing a feedback through the turntable system it would... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? I mainly listen to orchestral and jazzey stuff. I'm 71, so old guy. When I look at some of the vinyl that I have from the 60's and some of the new remastered or otherwise remade from original tape recordings from DG you see that the engineers and ... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Bourgeois I know but… on my little system in my little room Beethoven #6 – Karl Bohm. Some kind of reissue from the original tapes, don’t recall the details. I have several of this piece and this one has the most detail. Listen at least once/twice... | |
| The Horror Old guy advice: Spend your money going to live performances. LA Phil, Hollywood Bowl. Your local dive bar that has musicians play. I'm sure your system is better than you think but at the end of the day, no matter how much you spend it is a "repre... | |
| The Horror Going to these show are like Monterey Car Week. Most beautiful, expensive, fast and some simply unatainable automobiles in the world. Then I get in my old M3 or Miata and just enjoy the experience that I have. My audio set up is modest at best b... | |
| Hardware or source materail This has been a very informative series for me. I thank you all for your responses. I will look into a stand alone phono pre. Any suggestions? Tube vs SS? My CA AXR was about $600 so not expensive. Any phono stage would be played through the CA wh... | |
| Hardware or source materail Thank you all for your responses. I did try the Schiit Mani 2 and it was the worst. Their support was limited to "just use the factory settings". I test using the Ortofon test vinyl.Tracking and separation seems fine with the CA. Tracked everythi... | |
| Hardware or source materail So... What on earth do you mean? I can be disgusting, just ask my wife. | |
| Hardware or source materail So... Interesting comment but still no one engaged in the actual question. | |
| Hardware or source materail Probably so. But I posted this on several audio sites and so far, no one has answered the core question. It seems to me that everyone is focused on their XYZ 1000 and not on, shall we say, the actual sound. I fully acknowledged in my original po... |
