| I have been a stickler about keeping power cables away from signal cables...on equipment ? Some people have endless problems with noise of all types. Others seem remarkably lucky in never or rarely experiencing such issues. I have worked in several fields where power cabling in proximity to signal cabling is an unavoidable fact. No m... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Bought with my own money, High Tide and Green Grass with all the photos. Still have it. | |
| Pink Floyd and Weed @grm No worries glad to help but you still haven't said, is bass light on everything or just the Floyd. Anyway, J-River is dead easy. Pick TOOLS from the menu bar, bottom choice OPTIONS.In the main box you have a list, the first choice is Audio ... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- If you are actually one of the very few serious contributors here, punch a small hole in the wall and put the amps in the next room. Nobody says they HAVE to be here or there. | |
| Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years?? nicer finishes | |
| Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years?? @kenjit If there is one measurement that would prove that speakers have indeed got better over the last 20 years, what would it be? weight | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. @cleeds Just found this. Author does a decent job of explainig record surfaces and cleaning issues. Worth a look.https://londonjazzcollector.wordpress.com/for-audiophiles/record-cleaning/ | |
| Pink Floyd and Weed @grm Are you hearing weakened bass through the headphones on other sources or just the streamer. If it's everywhere is there a chance the headphones are wired out of phase? Just as an experiment, use the equalizer in J-River to wind up the lowes... | |
| Pink Floyd and Weed @grm First are we talking problems with Division Bell or everything through the headphones? Accepting that this is a general problem not DB specific, do you have any way beside USB to get out from your computer? I live in Canada so I am too bus... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. @cleeds Anything that would be audiophile grade, just pulled D2D out of the air at random. It's just that you notice crud more on superior recordings. Chances are good if you have a better than average deck the stylus is probably much smaller th... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. @daveyf if you haven't already, try a second thorough cleaning. Sometimes by cleaning and playing a used LP, especially something like a D2D, old ground in dirt gets loosened and more noticeable in the sound. No guarantee but the second cleaning... | |
| Micro position adjustments @tk21 That is so cool, I have a pine cabinet on a wall in an unfortunate place too. I can observe similar phenomena listening to music that creates a realistic and convincing sound space. What I experience is a deformation of the ’stage’. If you c... | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... @bobinw, You make a good point. At the other end, I have worked in homes worth many millions that had neither any quality audio gear or any room that would make a good location for it. The more recent advent of the 'media room' means that some th... | |
| Micro position adjustments Things do get weird. Sometimes tiny changes cause huge differences both good and bad. Sometimes what we think are big changes make little or no difference at all. Only the fact you can recreate the effect by carefully repeating your changes sav... | |
| The meaning of “Remastered” @cleeds Could be a lot of things and one of the things it could be is problems with vinyl formulations another could be a shortfall in the manufacturing. With the huge majority of records lasting and sounding well for ages the few that don't woul... |
