| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Those who listen ---> use Vinyl, those who read datas listen ----> to Digits. Just like dining out, given the choice I will dine at best quality restaurant, (Vinyl) it that's is not available I eat at a midline place (CD). If nothing else ... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Gregm,It may be masochism or something else, or both. But, really, believe me, this ain't no nostalgia:) I think you hit the nail on the head. Nostalgia is for the Vinyl jackets themselves and the length of time they have been owned and when/where... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? I am a bit bewildered by all these Vinyl eulogies...rather nostalgic IMHO. If Vinyl was so much better than other mediums then can someone expain why it has never been used as the reference storage medium for the audio industry. I mean why did the... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Paquito D'Rivera's "La Bella Cubana" from his album, Portraits of Cuba, Chesky JD145. With this recording even most of the 'full-range' speakers I've listened to flattened out before Roger Rosenberg's baritone sax hit bottom Thats a Bass Viol not... | |
| B&W 601 dented tweeter repair? Scotch tape will usually do the trick, metal dome may not be repairable...forget the vaccuum cleaner or Lovelace techniques...these don't work on tweeters | |
| What's the frequency response of vinyl? Check this out;RIAA Curve"A record is cut with the low frequencies reduced and the high frequencies boosted, and on playback the opposite occurs. The result is a flat frequency response, but with noise such as hiss and clicks arising from the surf... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Shadorne, yes, I have heard great things about the ATC products before, but they dont seem to be widely distributed or very well known.Could you please give more detail on your experiences with them? Which models? Passive or active? ATC is a UK c... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now ATC's midrange is still made - some 25 years on. So there still are some enduring products which are principally known for their outstanding mid range quality. | |
| RUSH on INHD... I agree wholeheartedly with Boa2 and ChadnLiz. As a Canadian and having lived in Toronto for several years, naturally I'm well familiar with Neil Peart.Neil has one of the best drum solos on the planet and is technically one of the very best ever.... | |
| why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals? When Racerx322 described four mid range drivers and a male vocal problem, I immediately jumped to what may be the wrong conclusion. I'll do more homework next time. Sorry Racer, for giving what may well be incorrect advice even it was well intende... | |
| Review for Dynaudio BM5A powered pro speakers You had a big adjustment to make judging from your initial disappointment in the first 20 hours. Do you think the change from harmonicly rich tube sound to SS has much to do with it or is to all speaker related? My experience is that SS gear sound... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? At least, you put your money where your mouth is with ATC speakers...butt ugly You are right about that....a massive imposing ugly box. "butt ugly" just about sums it up! I managed to hide mine in some heavy duty cabinetry with 2 inch+ braced wal... | |
| why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals? Four mid range drivers. The lower mid is confused by comb filtering. Male vocals are around 300 Hz. But vocals consist of lots of partial harmonics at 600, 900 and 1200 Hz etc. At 600 Hz you have a wavelength of roughly two feet. At 1200 Hz you ha... | |
| Rear Speaker Advice needed I second Jameswei ....you should stick with the same manufacturer - your best match is actually the Studio 110...as it has matching drive units! 1SC's would probably be the next best choice but poor in comparison due to their reduced dynamics rela... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? Shadorne - do you have any personal suggestions to listen to? At your price point I would tend to go for better quality sound rather than huge bass extension to 27 Hz or below. My preference would be a sealed box design that rolls off gently arou... |
