| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable Mijostyn, "The background noise on even the best pressing is a lot higher than any reasonable modern belt driven turntable so in reality a solution in search of a problem."Do you think that bearing noise is irrelevant? If so, I assure you that it ... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong Thank you, David. I've obviously got some reading to do - but after I get my newest amplifiers working! | |
| Turntable cost:benefit If you actually listen to 800 lp's, I say that you can justify any amount of money. The issues are what you can afford and what you want to spend (I think that these two are different).I have a few thousand lp's and I concentrate on bang for buck.... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong Thanks David. Will have to think some more. Haven't use Octave - Maple is my poison. | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong Thank you David. I will have to think about that.As for the Nyquist-Shannon theorem, yes, I am familiar with it, and am not convinced that it says what some engineers think it does. For one thing, it involves a limit in terms of an infinite series... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong David, I don't quite follow your third last paragraph.Your "first statement" is indeed a statement, capable of being true or false, but is it true? It needs justification, it seems to me. It is not the same at all as the sentence following, "Let m... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong @erik_squires "Microtime, as the article envisions it, is not a thing."Don't agree. It seems to me that he defines it quite clearly in terms of microsecond (neural) phenomena. And also, it seems to me that someone with a Ph.D. in this area is like... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong I think we should be asking the question, "How many samples per waveform are required to reduce the RMS error to below, say, 5%, which is the sort of error achieved during the heyday of the vinyl years?" Some types of error may be more or less obj... | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? If you haven't listened to big Magnepans or ESL's, do. Those who like them, such as myself, will never go back. | |
| Are most recordings so bad it's not worth spending large on speakers? Listen to @atmasphere !His electronics ain't bad either. | |
| Which vintage direct drive? Wolfie, I didn’t pay too much attention after I mounted the air bearing tonearm and listened for a minute - it was one of the second tier Technics, maybe an SL1500 mk2. Anyway, compared to the Nottingham Mentor (Dais bearing, modern motor controll... | |
| Which vintage direct drive? As for the SUT, I too would be cautious. There’s a lot of EMI happening just under the platter (hence just under the cartridge), and a low output MC might pick it up. Maybe just enough to degrade performance without obvious symptoms like hum - whi... | |
| Which vintage direct drive? I too use a Trans-Fi. Actually, two of them. Both on belt-drive turntables which are directly coupled to a slate table and thence to concrete and bedrock.Suggest that you consider belt drive. I tried a quality vintage DD, and it was notably inferi... | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? OH - now I think I see what ASC is talking about. Perhaps they are talking about vibration THROUGH the wall material, whereas what we are interested in is vibration ALONG the plinth material.All the same, I wouldn’t want my walls flexing like a 10... | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? Agreed that constrained layer damping works by converting vibration to heat, but don’t agree that it is more effective when both layers are less stiff.A counterexample to the ASC assertion is industry-leading Quietrock 545 acoustic drywall, with a... |
