I was wondering how the record heat would affect your progress. Lucky you.Interesting observations about the air cap. Of course I am curious whether the added clarity additionally rewards/punishes +/- precision with VTA/SRA?I have zero ex...

Any player that recognizes .m3u file can be used. m3u file is a computer file format that stores multimedia playlists. It was initialy started as a WinAmp file type but since then it has expanded to be recognized and played by many applications. Off ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, start to record and you will love this processor even more.[/quote]I'd love to give this a go... I just need something worth recording!I have a good FM antenna on my roof and a half-decent tuner in the guise of a Ro...

Romy, thank you for the very useful info. You have given me hope! When I contacted CEC in Japan a year or two ago asking to let me buy replacement lasers (as many as I could) they said no (they did say they will repair the unit if it ever fails - if ...

It is amazing how much lives in the FM broadcasts. Just now the WHRB transmitted in their “Tuesday-Thursday ’s Nights” the Radio Amsterdam’s broadcast of the Royal Concertgebouw with Bernard Natick played the Debussy’s “La Mer” and Shostakovich’s 8Th...

Sadly the Sulzberger family screwed up yet another iconic business it has been slowly killing. It just sold WQXR, the largest classical radio station in the US, to Univision.
It looks like NY public radio will cont...

You say that you are looking for accurate mids and highs? Well, maybe a wide range driver could get the mids right, but if you have ever have seen a spectral analysis, you would see how much distortion/resonance is present - that many of us hear. Sur...

Hi all, I have a t350 horn that I recently got out of an old cabinet at a junk shop which does not work. If I connect it to my Marantz 1030 amp it will only play very faintly as if you are listening to cheap earphones laying on...

Hm, it took for WHRB one week to rebroadcast MET with “even balance” and the last week Regoletto went 4.6dB misbalanced. It was not a big damage as the production was very poor and MET kept destroying everything with their horrible “slidi...

I've had about 90% rock and pop music to play, but have saved lots of classical and mainly baroque music from Internet radio lately.It wasn't before a few hours ago that much of that downloaded material became interesting.Today I'm entranced by stuff...

Amir,there is simply too much with your posting that I disagree with. Yes, knowledge and experience with live music is a powerful tool when thinking about musical goals for playback - even when considering that they are very much different events.Mus...

[quote user="Paul S"].......By the way, Robin, when I referred to "Furtwangler's incomparable war time Beethoven 7" in my Neumann mic post a while back I of course meant his 9th. You mention how great performances "trump" the gear, or even the record...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yesterday WGBH-FM broadcasted their own live-to-tape recording of Handel & Haydn Society’s Mozart K. 626, the Requiem. John Nelson conducted with Christine Brandes, soprano; Paula Murrihy, mezzo-soprano; Charles Reid, t...

His is my picked for 3 things that I would like to be done in audio. They are without any particular order of importance. 1) I would like industry to develop a coordinate system according to which Sound would be objectively evaluated and all sound ef...

That each piece of music tells something different, in a different way.Part of the fun of certain songs for instance works because of the way it troubles the electro mechaincs of a table radio.Some artists like to play in a big hall with a juicy echo...

Romy, as you can see, I have never wrote that these parasitic sounds depend ONLY on the quality of the drivers. It is quite obvious they depend on many many many other things (practically everything) as for example bad microphones, bad microphone cab...

[quote user="haralanov"]Would you explain why do you think so? It certainly depends on the ability of a given person to “filter” the bad sounds away from his consciousness when listening to music, but I see no reason why it has nothing to do with equ...

OK, maybe it needs a bit more detail ,or say perspective as regards to this audio-cooking effort. NO QUESTION, we first have to look after the object before we joy-ride, or joye-feast, oh yes! I mentioned quality and caring somewhere just a short...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]In fact in today world there is a very interesting phenomena - very low-end audio, literally mass-produced table radio that on can buy for $50 sound hugely more musical for classical repertoire then the mega-dollars playba...

This is one of my favorite posts on your site.My daily playback system uses Tannoy 15" Gold drivers in large back-loaded Autograph cabinets. It isn't used for critical listening, rather it's mostly on in the background playing my local NPR radio sta...

Finally took on my mis-tracking CD transport, an Accustic Arts Drive 1 (Philips CD Pro 2 drive unit). I had looked online and I had the feeling my problem, at its root, might be caked grease on the optical reader rails, as I have had the thing for so...

OT - Is Steverino your real name, childhood nickname, or how you prefer being addressed at the gym?You missed the meta-point. I waited a long time before trying computer audio because of my reservations for trading more convenience for lower sound q...

I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...

I kind of agree with your post. I believe the problem sits in the fact that the people who really cares about music and is capable of feel its intentions, don't care about audio. And people interested in audio, look at it as a "toys hobby", being mor...

I sometime try to address broad and purely abstractive audio issues, still without a big hope then it would be properly understood or properly interpreted by most of the readers, not to mention anyone else. An average audio person do not need a broad...
