| More potential bad news for some big names... The Masimo brands will be on the block in the next few months if not sooner now that Masimo is controlled by Politan. As with McIntosh and SF, any company that is controlled by private equity. It's a question of when rather than if. There is a f... | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre @OP The Van den Hul 3T cables do what you want. | |
| Faint buzz in speakers OP. From your updated description, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the amp - its just regular residual noise. Forget about it and enjoy the music! | |
| Faint buzz in speakers @OP Some amplifiers have small amounts of residual noise thought it should usually manifest itself as white noise, but there can be other noise as well. It is also possible that one or more of your noise reduction devices are causing the noise - i... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements Ribbon tweeters and cone drivers generally prove difficult to match seamlessly. By way of example, I always preferred the soft dome tweeter ProAc's to their ribbon tweeter equivalents. Borresen make a big thing of their crossovers not having phase... | |
| Is Rega the easiest turntable to set up.... @OP. Make sure you like the sound of Rega's cartridges as not everyone does. With all due respect I'm not sure that looking for a five minute setup is the best way to spend that amount of money. Any competent dealer will set up the turntable for y... | |
| A Turntable History Question I can't recall anything that was on sale in the UK at that time that used rubber band suspension.The Hi Fi Choice turntables booklet edited by Martin Colloms covered pretty much everything that was around including exotica like the Trio 7d and, wo... | |
| Thoughts/Opinions on Technics SL-G700M2 CD/SACD Player I can only comment on the original version and agree with the post above. The operating system is a bit clunky but fine if you read the manual and not an issue if only playing CDs. Build quality was outstanding - I would say the best in its price ... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass @OP. Congratulations - very nice system. Wilson's bass is somewhat overdamped and some people don't like that particular characteristic - personally I do. That is the subjective impression of the bass as opposed to the measured frequency response ... | |
| Placing Instrument Separation of Large Ensembles in Recordings Pinpoint separation of instruments in an orchestra doesn't exist in real life. So, arguably, the recordings with the least separation are the most accurate. | |
| Is it possible to have too much/too many filters/tweaks? The majority of power conditioners cause more harm than good - or for everything they do good, they do something else bad e.g reduce noise but limit current. stacking power conditioners only makes things worse. In some cases, just tightening the c... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital This week I bought an album on the ACT label - whose recordings are superbly engineered. Call this one A. Listening to it, I felt the sound quality was not as good as the previous album on ACT that I listened to - call this one B. Different artis... | |
| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos @OP +1 to Moonwatcher's post above. The Tascam has 48V phantom power so you can use external condensers with it. However, as above, you will be limited with the quality of the mic pres. Good recommendation on the Schoeps Mk4. If you were going int... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Good summary Gregm. The irony is that the the LP12 of the mid eighties had dreadful micro timing stability due to the movement of the subchassis/armboard relative to the platter. Linn's mantra was pitch and rhythm. I have a feeing it was the journ... | |
| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos Ok OP - bit of brain fade there on my part. That you tube video was probably recorded on a phone or on the internal audio of a DSLR/Mirrorless camera - though the jerkiness of the video as he moves around looks more like a phone to me. If you are... |
