| New HD DVD Player - which isolation device to use? Are you trying to improve the longevity of the device? | |
| SACD and an audiophile question Talking strictly two channel....the recording and mastering have a much bigger impact on what you hear than the actual format, CD, DVD-A or SACD.IMHO, the industry is struggling to find a compelling reason to drive people to another music format a... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Did anybody find a CD with pre-echo yet? | |
| Speaker Tilt Back benefits? What sounds better will largely depend on your room acoustics, listening position and the vertical dispersion pattern of the speaker. There is no "rule of thumb" for this....just experiment. If a slight tilt makes a significant difference then thi... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Sorry Eldartford but if we want to form a company then we should have thought of this more than ten years ago and filed a patent.A cursory investigation indicates we might have to negotiate a patent license or find a workaround.... French Telecom ... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? This thread just shows how interesting Audiogon can be. We went from 45 RPM to pre-echo somehow...but it meant that I learnt something new. Thx everyone.Most of you may not be aware of this; recording engineers will often make a dub of their finis... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Nsgarch, First of all, if there was any print through between bands on the master tape, that's easily eliminated when transferring the album to CD, just insert new silences between bands. Good point I hadn't thought of that...but hang on...if they... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Can you cite a CD with pre-echo so that I (we) can check this out? I second Eldartford's question. Can anyone name a single CD with a pre-echo?I own a large number of CD's and haven't come across one with a pre-echo...yet. My experience tends to ... | |
| Acoustical Solutions or Auralex LENRD bass traps Fishboat,ROFLMAO...mongolian mare indeed!Yeah, I agree Ethan Winer is doing a great educational service. Others seem mostly content to specifically push their products whilst Ethan does a lot more than just plug his own products. He seems on a cru... | |
| CD Buying Guide??? I have never found a reliable guide. The best thing is to follow recording and mastering engineers. When you find someone who is good or you like (such as Doug Sax, Chuck Ainlay, Al Schmitt, Jack Renner, Michael Bishop, etc.) Then look them up on ... | |
| Bass traps I am doubtful they can ever make a huge difference in the bass...an improvement certainly but I doubt you can turn anemic bass to strong bass response. They should smooth things out a little above 100 Hz in the frequency response ....but most of t... | |
| beautiful piano recordings: solo or small ensemble Dave Grusin has some great stuff - nearly all of it exceptionally recorded. | |
| Acoustical Solutions or Auralex LENRD bass traps Fishboat,BTW: The reason I am trying to summarize is that there is quite a minefield of opinions on the subject of acoustic bass trap treatments. Clearly some suppliers are heavy handed in trying to influence the community through comments that ar... | |
| Anyone Totally Content With Their System? Good to see more happy people. I have to admit I enjoyed my time with all the components I have had over the years. I know that owners of very high end systems will slam me for saying this but major improvements are elusive, above about $2K on any... | |
| Do I need acoustic foam in my listening room? Try to sit more than 3 feet from the back wall. 38% of room length is often the optimum position.Of course acoustic treatment will help with sound - foam or anything else to absorb. Probably everyone could benefit form treatment in a domestic sett... |
