| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm ****I wanted then to know everything about this 'wonder' and think that I dreamed about owning one more than about any girl that I can remember.**** - NandricOf course, that depends on how difficult it is to find the correct VTA for each. If you c... | |
| Help with plasma TV choice Thanks guys, very helpful comments; particularly re screen brightness and dealer bias. Learsfool, your impressions mirror mine exactly. The differences that I noted at the dealer were not subtle. To use an audio analogy, the Samsungs were like goo... | |
| Replacement for VPI TNT mark v Some good suggestions for tables, but they don't (especially the Oracle, and Rega) sound anything like the TNT with it's very full, and slightly dark sound. The Oracle, while really great sounding, is as different sounding as any table that I can ... | |
| Replacement for VPI TNT mark v That's going to be a tough one Dpower. A large part of the reason that the TNT has the tone that you want to replicate is the very fact that it is large and heavy, which gives it a certain resonance signature; that full, weighty, slightly dark sou... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Some really excellent and insightful comments above. But, no one is trying to defend unrealistically bright and aggressive cartridges. Lew, they certainly do exist; way too many of them. I think that the point that Doug, Pete, myself and others ar... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge ****If your experience of live orchestral music is that leading edges are rounded or that the sound is other than *very* crisp and clear, you need to sit in acoustically better halls (or at least acoustically better seats). Come sit next to me in ... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker One of the things that bothered me most about early digital recordings (actually, until very recently) was not the harshness, brightness or grain, it was the very obvious (to me) sense that there was a frequency extension ceiling above the music; ... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker How did that happen? The Audiogon gremlins strike again. I didn't resubmit that post. Nonetheless, sorry. | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker ****If the article is correct, only wind and string instrument can create undertone. ****Yes, and we all know how authoritative Wikepedia is. And no, not just those instruments can create undertones. The Wikepedia article is (as usual) very incomp... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker Agreed! | |

| frequency range for instrument vs speaker Not so sure either. If a recording captures, say, a 25hz tone that is a difference tone produced by two instruments' fundamentals (let's say 90hz and 125hz; just for argument, I am not up to the math right now) interacting acoustically, and the sp... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker ****so most likely not something that the speaker would play a role in producing assuming the speaker does in fact deliver the real instrument fundamental frequencies up to snuff.****Some modern composers have exploited these difference tones in t... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker ****Clearly a sub often if not usually makes a big difference but the existence of lower frequencies in the harmonics is not required to explain it.**** - MapmanVery true, but it is required when the sub is used in a purely "augment" mode as many ... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker Ecruz, I wrote my post just after and before reading yours. Your account is a perfect example of what I described. |
