| why do we argue? I have been making this observation for years re other related subjects/discussions and it should be made again: 77 (!) responses to the OP, and not ONCE, not a single time is the word "music" mentioned. We get very personal about our music. That ... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker There exists an acoustical phenomenon called "undertones". Two frequencies sounding together create a phantom tone well below the fundamental frequency of either of the original tones. Just as with "overtones" (harmonics), the presence of these un... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? NOS fish? Yikes! Gives new meaning to the term "stylus hangover". Oh, sorry, I meant "overhang" ;-) | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Honeybee2012, it seems that making comments that have no basis in fact may be also be a sign of aging; for some. I am over 50, and I know that I and many 50+ yr olds I know can easily tell the difference. Wether that difference makes it "better" o... | |
| Why does my system sound so shrill and distorted? Second Lew's advice, and also suggest that you make sure that the problem is not the LP pressings that you are playing that are the problem. Did you have a turntable before this one? And did the same LP's that are problematic now show the same sym... | |
| Stylus Drag ****But it apprears Halcro has observed changes in speed with havily modulated sections of the record using the TimeLine. The key question is whether or not this small change is audible.****Well, Halcro is correct, but I suppose that the key quest... | |

I don't believe that it is possible for an audio component to be "over damped"; in absolute terms. I realize that we have to live in the real world o... | |
| the natural sound of a cymbal Re the ability to identify the brand of cymbals on a recording. Drummers most certainly can. I am not a drummer, but I can tell you that it is not difficult for me to identify when (for instance) Michael Brecker used his Otto Link mouthpiece, and ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Another tip re the trough: make sure that the trough itself is level. If it is not, the amount of damping will vary (decrease) as the arm travels towards the inside of the LP. The trough has a tendency (especially if the Velcro has gotten a little... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bh80231, if you provide your email address I would be glad to send you some pic that I just took. Luddite that I am, I can't figure out how to post pics.I looked at the link in your post. Personally, I would purchase wire with higher pedigree; Aud... | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? Very, very good! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I will try and post some pics in the next couple of days. | |
| Fine trumpet , alto sax recordings? ****So I looking for more smoothe jazz styles for now.****Dave Sanborn: "Another Hand". He created the "smooth jazz" alto sound. One of his most interesting recordings.Michael Franks: "Barefoot On The Beach". Typical relaxed, catchy Franks tunes f... | |
| 'dimple' tweeter fix Unsound got it right! Or skip the tube tube altogether, and simply put your lips gently around the tweeter's dome and suck gently ;-) | |
| I'm on StereoTimes... Very nice article, Larry. Nicely written and really exudes the reverence and admiration that you have for the music. ****hearing Miles Davis do Chromatic Scales was kind of an epiphany. Who would have thought (at that age) that guys like him had t... |
