| Speakers with high WAF? Any Vienna Acoustics speaker. I love my Beethoven Baby Grands. The furniture finish is as good as anything in the house and they sound fantastic.Dave | |
| Life after Aerial 10Ts... Don't avoid metal tweeters, just listen to what you like and chose based on your ears. Since you own Aerials, you've got a good reference, now just go listen without preconceived limitations.Dave | |
| An Audiophile Goal Why doesn't enjoyment define an audiophile? let's explore that some. You could have a system that's absolutely flat from 20Hz to 20kHz at 88dB. My system, OTOH rolls off at 30Hz and starts rolling off at the top after 12kHz (and it has anomalies t... | |
| Life after Aerial 10Ts... If WAF and sound are both of close weighting then, by all means, look at the Vienna Acoustics line. I've got some really nice furniture and artist wooden boxes and the VAs fit right in. I ordered the maple ones to go with my archtop guitars and a ... | |
| Life after Aerial 10Ts... I really enjoyed the 10Ts and came very close to buying a pair. Ultimately, after thinking about it for several years and coming back into a changed market, I went with the Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands. The woodworking on the VAs is abso... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. $3000 in 1967 dollars is about $18,000 today. I don't have that much invested today.Dave | |
| An Audiophile Goal Acoustat6 said:"Opalchip or others, please explain to me why you would change the volume level for different LPs, whether it be up or down, and what this can accomplish. Just how do you know where each was recorded? Or which LPs should be played b... | |
| Good phono Cable for my Project rpm10/grado sonata Yossie, I've been pleased so far with the stock cable that came with my RM10. You should let your cartridge fully break in before really tweaking.If you go through with a switch, please write a review for the rest of us Pro-ject owners. Isn't it a... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it The point about Hi Def digital surpassing analog has legs, but I think it's flawed. I came back to analog recently (never got rid of my old albums and most of them are in A-condition). I bought a Pro-ject RM10 with a Sumiko Blackbird cartridge for... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality Yes, the results with good front end and quality A-D is truly amazing.I find that you CAN get good results burning with a computer; however, there is a minefield of setting that you can get wrong. All the settings on the computer must be optimized... | |
| Korg MR1000 as Analog Archiver It's got USB digital I/O. It won't run through an external DAC, but I don't know of one that'll handle 5.6MHz anyway.So far, I've been marking the LP tracks manually as I record. Done that way, it's easy to jump from track to track and rename with... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality Two things Tudor, first, you're right to suggest monitoring with headphones, even with the best possible TT, you'll improve the quality of the transfer substantially. Many people fail to realize this and end up with marred recordings.Second, I fin... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality Ozzie, the Korg hooks into the computer via USB and then you can down-convert the files with software that comes with it. From there, you can burn DVD-A using a plug-in to Windows Media.Like I said before, if you enjoy vinyl and actually listen to... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality I think that the people that find this too much trouble don't actually enjoy their vinyl. Since I listen to vinyl 90% of the time when I'm at home, it's no real bother to turn on the Korg MR1000 to record an album and remembering to jump up to key... | |
| How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality The Korg MR1000 allows you to record at 1-bit 5.6MHz sampling rate onto a 40GB hard drive. That's the best archival quality that I've found. You can then downconvert and record to DVD-Audio for recordings that will be superior to Redbook CDs.Searc... |
