| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas It is very true that none of our modern day cartridges are near as compliant and track as light as cartridges back in the 70s and 80s, nor should they. The contact patches of modern styluses are far larger and the pressure loading eve... | |
| Deqx pre8 @forrestc I have a problem with volumio. I reached out to Volumio and they referred me back to DEQX who have not been helpful either. I use Volumio to plug in Qobuz which works everywhere in my house except on the Pre 8. I went to up date Volumio ... | |
| Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue Sorry to hear that Quincy. It might be time for a new turntable or you might try contacting Michell in England. | |
| sibilance in system This is a very common problem. Our hearing is very sensitive at 3 kHz. Most of the time if you turn the volume down the sibilance goes away. Our ear's frequency response changes with frequency. Google Fletcher- Munson to learn more. The only pie... | |
| Deqx pre8 Hi Fellows, I was in the first wave. There was a plan to set up a forum for users. Have either one of you tried to contact DEQX lately. They have not answered any of my inquiries for three weeks. I'm a bit worried that COVID took to much of a fin... | |
| Are there any DEQX Gen 4 users out there? @ditusa Maybe. Here in NH we got taken over by Turkeys. | |
| room setup suggesion needed @erik_squires I'm not playing Erik. The only people who believe in bass traps are the people who sell them. My only motive is to keep people from wasting their money. Measuring and listening to bass is very tricky as it depends on exactly where yo... | |
| room setup suggesion needed @erik_squires Not my EQ Erik. Retail is now $15,000. Eq will not smooth out the nodes. It will flatten the frequency response at any given location in the room at the expense of a lot of power. Can you tell me what an 8 foot tall bass trap is goin... | |
| room setup suggesion needed @ssg308 What you have is too much mid bass and not much really low bass. Very few speakers do much below 40 Hz particularly ported designs. You have a more complicated problem because your 15" driver is really a mid woofer. It crosses to the horn ... | |
| room setup suggesion needed @ssg308 Your speaker's frequency response is rated at one meter. What they do in a 30 foot room is TOTALLY different, not to mention that you need at least an additional 10 dB of gain to get realistic bass levels. You can only do this with 2 15" s... | |
| room setup suggesion needed It is impossible for me to comment without seeing and hearing the situation. I can say that your system deserves better sources. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas That old cartridge is a battle axe constructed with outdated techniques. The cantilever of any good modern cartridge is 1/2 the size and the stylus of the MR is so small you would have a hard time seeing it in a picture like that. Sor... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @dogberry Give the very acute profile of the MR stylus I would assume it is more difficult to align than the Sussurro. @pindac You are going to have to wait another several thousand years. This is a basic characteristic of the human species. Sti... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? God Bless @pindac I'm still waiting for my first. Back to cartridges. I finally reinstalled the Soundsmith Hyperion MR in my system and ran it for 20 hours. It is a low output, lowish compliance MI cartridge with a cactus spine cantilever and a ... | |
| Seeking Opinions on "Vera-Fi Audio LLC" 10" and 12" Subwoofers $399 for a powered 12" subwoofer is highly suspect. A Dayton Kit would cost you twice as much. |
