| Denny Dias I had seen that reported on before but it is great to have confirmation from someone who was actually there. Denny's reference to Quad 57s is also spot on - utterly transparent but you would fry them if used as studio monitors. In a similar vein,... | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? Chrome by Joe Jackson - track 4 on the abum Volume 4 - the melody of the song is "borrowed" from Sunshower by Kenny Barron. Graham Maby's bassline covers most of two octaves, so it's excellent for identifying crossover problems. Also, the song is ... | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? @cleeds - +1 for the Alesis Masterlink. Even though it's old, its converters were top quality at the time as still very good today. I have three of them up in the studio - though I should probably just keep two - with one as a backup. As you know,... | |
| Does the Gryphon Antileon EVO stereo amplifier go for sale on the used market? Gryphon amplifiers are superbly well made. However, I would prefer to buy pre-owned from an authorised dealer offering a warranty. | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? Vinyl studio seem to be just about the only software outside of the Pyramix system (and Tascam's system) that will record DSD. I use Apollo's in my recording studio. The converters are very good quality, but the broad consensus is that there is b... | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? +1 audio_guy_uofw @OP - you will also, of course, need software to go with your ADC, and outside of Pyramix and VinylStudio, the choices are seriously limited. Prism Sound produce great interfaces, but they are PCM. As I said in my earlier post... | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? @OP PS - Update on my earlier post. The RME ADI-2-Pro FSm specifically, will record both PCM and DSD, so you can compare both encoding schemes. | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? @OP. The choice in DSD ADCs is pretty limited. The Tascam DA-3000 could fit the bill. But you would need to A/B it against something like one of the two channel RME ADI Pro interfaces. If you are doing the conversion yourself, you might be surpris... | |
| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) @Primarist - What is your combined amp and speaker budget? It really doesn't make sense to be buying a pair of speakers and then trying to match an amplifier to them. In fact, really you should be buying the amp and speakers together. This parti... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @OP This is a classic case where specifications don't tell you everything. Pass amplifiers tend to sound more powerful than their nominal specifications suggest. If you have the opportunity to listen to them, it will be worthwhile. If you find the... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @OP A pair of Passlabs XA160.8s and an XP32 pre could fit your needs well - lots of power and dynamics, plus natural timbres. @itmandella - the manufacturers of studio monitors are not necessarily the best amplifier designers - that's a general o... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? @OP To answer your upgrading question, a Clearaudio Concept and Hana SL will be massively better sounding than your current setup. If your budget allows it, the Concept Signature is worth the extra spend relative to the standard concept - more so... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound @saummisra - what amplifiers are you using? It's impossible to recommend speakers without knowing what amplification will be used to drive them. | |
| Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence @OP Nothing in your equipment list suggests tonal imbalance, so its probably your ears. Noise induced hearing loss usually manifests itself as a notch or notches between 2 and 4k and up to 6k - right in the presence band. As others have said, ge... | |
| Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues The SL1200G is aproximately 6KG heavier than a 1200 MkII. The platter is nearly double the mass of the 1200Gs and the rest is the solid aluminum plinth and the BMC sub plinth. There are also differences in the arm's engineering. BTW, I am not bur... |
