| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos @OP NT5s are a bit bright sounding. I would prefer a pair of SE Electronics SE8s. But I would try the built in mics first as you may be surprised. I should have asked earlier but what exactly do you mean by "sound demos"? | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. Use a pair of Magneplanars or similar dipoles which have less interaction with the sidewalls the room. That will at least mitigate reflection problems. | |
| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos @OP It you are recording two channel stereo, you'll get a better recording using the xy mics built into the unit itself. A pair of omnis are going to pick up all the room sound so you'll be recording the room rather than the system. | |
| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos @OP - The 5 does have the advantage of recording to SD, rather than micro SD cards. But any of them or the Sony will give you better sound and more editing flexibility than a smartphone. Best of luck with your video/recording project. | |
| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos @OP - the H4 is probably the sweet spot for what you want to do. | |
| 1200GR upgrade tonearm or table? @OP - the GR2. I suspect that there will be a similar update to the 1200G, in time. | |
| 1200GR upgrade tonearm or table? @OP You should really listen to the new delta sigma drive version of the GR and also the 1200G before deciding to trash the arm on your existing deck. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @Soix - PRaT is what you get when you engineer a sound that is harmonically lean and emphasises the leading edge of the dynamic envelope. Being a drummer, unless you are a really bad drummer (which I'm sure you aren't), I'm no doubt you are perfec... | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? Systems are called systems for a reason so they should be built holistically - a chain is only as good as it’s weakest link etc. | |
| Physically Comfortable Headphones @patrickdowns - yes, I have had 650s - the 800s have the same very neutral tonal character but are a little more interesting to listen to. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid @OP There are a lot of used Wilson speakers around because people upgrade to newer Wilsons. On B&W's - there's no guarantee you will like the latest generation better - they are certainly not a speaker I would choose for chamber music. Magic... | |
| Physically Comfortable Headphones I also find it difficult to get headphones to fit me. Two that I've found to be comfortable are Sennheiser HD800 - much more comfortable than the 650s and extremely light. Audeze LCD-XC - I need closed back phones for recording and while the XCs... | |
| Pass labs krell parasound amps @OP. The X250.8 is a great amp. It should work well with your Levinson pre. One other brand worth looking at is Sim Moon which might fit your sonic preferences well. | |
| Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos @OP. If you are prepared to do a little post production work, one of the Zoom H series recorders, which are an all in one solution incuding stereo mics, are a superb value/sq solution. You'll have to sync the audio to you video though. If that's ... | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? The inherent character of Magicos is on the analytical slightly dry side. The latest models are less so. The are somewhat similar to B&Ws in that regard but their frequency response is more accurate than the latter. However some people love t... |
