| "Breathing" of the air Air is around 7 to 12 Khz - if you have a system that boost this then you get more "air" - alternatively if you have a speaker with a recessed midrange or "midrange scoop" then you get more air and more bass (boom boom tizz).IMD distortion, digita... | |
| why is it that on some records, sound terrible?? Inner groove runs slower - it is not as good - it is not called LP = Long Play for nothing - some compromises were involved in getting LP to work. When I collected vinyl my favorites where the 12" 45 RPM - better sound - more dynamics and better c... | |
| Stewart Copeland, Incredible Rumble Fish - Stewart wrote the soundtrack for this movie. | |
| benchmark and apogee Jeff,What you report about the Benchmark DAC1 is very consistent with what I observed and many others have reported. To my ears it happens to work well with my speakers so I am happy with a less "full" sound. I have not heard anything quite as det... | |
| Which Digital processor/equalizer ? My bass sounds/feels quite authentic. The 'Sheffield Drum and Track Disc' and my son playing his drum kit make great references. BTW: That particular mic, and of course- it's box, were purchased about 5 months ago. I use the Behringer PEQ below 9... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1, Lavry DA10, Altmann Attraction Cerrot, Mb9061, and Mjcmt,I suggest you report your findings to Benchmark engineer Elias Gwinn. You will need more than anecdotal evidence though, as everyone knows the power of suggestion or the "placebo" effect.The people that designed and built... | |
| I need help putting together a budget system You control the volume with the pre-amp not the speakers. For an office you should also consider NHT S00 and NHT M00 - great desktop sound. | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Shadorne, Consider changing the entire set up because a low budget treatment improves sound? Absolutely! I find it totally unacceptable that digital equipment should perform so badly. Analog has major problems in this area (must be clean and even... | |
| Speakers sound best facing wall???? He said Amar cupped his hands over his mouth and asked Paul Klipsch how he was doing and Paul turned toward the wall and said he was doing ok.. Good story but not sure it was true. It is hardly surprising that Paul turned round fast when Amar cup... | |
| Merrill tables Nah he was absolutely serious - he's talking about one of those newfangled TT's - no belt drive - no direct drive - you know with the latest crystal clocker - dilithium crystals to be precise - the latest warp drive TT! | |
| How did you choose your equipment? Elizabeth,There is a much better way - use a turkey to perform blind listening tests. | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Shadorne, There is nothing wrong with his transport. From my experience treatment of discs works on ALL cdp's. Then I'd suggest PC audio + external DAC or CDP player + external DAC (re-clocking DAC preferably) => this way you completely separa... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment So something real may be happening. (besides suggestion)If something is happening and you are getting improvements this way then it suggests an issue somewhere. Perhaps jitter is getting into the DAC of the CDP and this is partly created by minut... | |
| Sell Hi-Fi and invest in stock market? Getting your financial advice from an audio website has got to be one of the dumber things you could do. You'd be better off getting audio advice on a financial website...Perhaps but sometimes those in the biz can't see the forest for the trees. ... | |
| I need help putting together a budget system Active Speakers and a DAC - I agree with Ajahu. Genelec 8050A (in white) with Apple Mac and your choice of DAC would look real cool in a PC setup and yet give most hi end systems a run for their money for sheer sound quality. |
