| Articles You Feel Should be Shared mike_in_ncYes, it is unfortunately complicated. I can easily imagine the dip being used to mask crossover issues in some designs but also to correct recording anomalies where the need arises. Can’t boil it down any further than that.Anyway, here’s... | |
| Articles You Feel Should be Shared mike_in_ncErr... just when I had accepted that the BBC (Gundry) presence dip had been discredited."I've heard mention of 'the BBC dip' or 'the Gundry dip'. What does that mean?""There is much myth, folklore and misunderstanding about the 'Gundry p... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? I think it’s far too easy to be too discerning, even the mere fact of being an audiophile hints at that. Ultimately it is a question of priorities, if not now, it definitely will be one day. What matters to you most?Relationships, children, person... | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? As an owner of Tannoy dual-concentrics I have an innate prejudice against line arrays that just won't go away.I know they can sound lovely, but it is what it is. | |

| Turntable resonance normal? I'd say it's normal, but the less of a thump and the quicker the decay the better.A record player plinth could be said to be a bit like loudspeaker cabinet with respect to resonances. Impossible to eradicate totally but certainly desirable to cont... | |
| Grounding Speakers It’s nothing more than marketing. Every design is trying to offer something unique and whilst I know some Tannoys use autotransformers in their crossover, I’m pretty sure it’s nothing to do with that. | |
| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. @hombre, Yes, it's all about fun.Yes, neither the Beatles or Stones had great sound quality - just adequate I guess.
