| Help wanted: Bass! Have you tried rolling some different 6922s in your preamp? | |
| Is it possible for the center image to drift from lp to lp? Recording engineers don't always put the singer centre-stage. More often than not, but not always. Sometimes they will alter the singer's volume on one channel so that they're slightly off. You can hear this on side two of Shriekback's Big Night M... | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? Thanks for your input gentlemen, sorry I haven't replied for so long, I haven't been on this site. Just to clarify, I absolutely don't discount that the power amp is crucial to the sound. My throwaway comment was more to do with how insanely expen... | |
| Audiogon : Banner ads in Chinese on my IPad ???? Hi Mike, the easiest solution is to install an adblocker on your browser. Go into the itunes store and search for "adblock plus". Removes all ads from everything. | |
| Upsampling - but seriously folks Having played around obsessively with the settings on Audirvana+, I find no upsampling to deliver a more accurate sound in terms of timbre, as well as better imaging. Upsampling to my ears sounds initially thrilling and seductive but ultimately an... | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? Thanks for your replies everyone. On reflection I think my decay observation was probably wrong judging by reviews I've subsequently read, but there was something weird about my tripath amp that I couldn't put my finger on. Buggered if I know what... | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? As far as I can hear, proper decay is the only issue that class d has. Every other box is ticked, and then some. I'm not shilling for anyone, just hoping I can get a power amp for $600 that is orders of magnitude cheaper than a PassLabs and 90% of... | |
| Shopping for speakers at $1500-$2000 is a chore. Tekton Lores are well within your budget. I haven't heard them but they're considered by many to be a hands down winner at that price point. | |
| Anybody into 80s big music? If you want an amazing eighties album with superb production I can't recommend Shriekback's Big Night Music highly enough, especially the b-side. In fact mainly the b-side. I love that album and also use it as a test record when I get new tubes/eq... | |
| How important is bass to you? Hugely important. Like Prcinka I went through a stage of buzzing on the midrange, then swapped in some rft ecc82s and reached nirvana. You have no PRAT without a prominent rhythm section. Nor do you have the fundamental notes that make music sound... | |
| Tone arm upgrade The RB300 is a very good tonearm. Your money will be better spent somewhere else in the chain. Get a decent tubed phono pre or a new cart, as Jake suggests. | |
| Wacky Question about cartridges Hi Lemmy, ask this question on the vinylengine forums and you'll get a LOT of good advice, those guys are obsessed with everything vinyl. There are compliance issues with the cartridge/arm interface that you'll need to address but once you've got ... | |
| Whats wrong Hmm. Most likely scenario is a warm up issue, everything can sound sluggish at first. I doubt it's your turntable at fault, especially since it's new. | |
| Wanted NAD 3020 There are literally millions of them floating around. Check out ebay.co.uk | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated For that money you can go straight to separates. A Yaqin MS-12B preamp with NOS RCA blackplates or Telefunkens will set you back around $600. They honestly sound amazing. Then spend $1500-$2000 on a quality used power amp like a First Watt. Later ... |
