Post Subject: LF and speakersPosted by Antonio J. on: 2/12/2006
Hi Romy,
I believe you're right and it's due to the amount of LF the vinyl outputs, which may be more than the Bidat or the tuner do. It doesn't happen with all the discs, just some of them, which happen to be old recordings that probably have more LF content than newer ones. I don't have the facility to invert phase from vinyl (the Bidat does, not my phono preamp) unless I swap the wiring at the cartridge output.
Surely it's my speakers that can't deal with so much LF signal and do exactly as you describe, they seem to pressurize the room with low frequency before the tone is audible, and gets coherent with the mid-upper bass, which is not really outstanding either. My speakers are two ways and front bass reflex, so go figure. My room can't handle LF well, I have serious modes at 40 and about 75 Hz so my approach regarding bass response isn't as serious as I liked :-(
