| Blue Note reissues "In 2009 to celebrate the album's 50th anniversary, Sony Music decided to reissue the album newly mastered from the same original 3 track master Classic had used, both on CD and blue vinyl as part of a box set containing a book and other supplemen... | |
| getting azimuth right After reading the Feickhart documentation, it seems that setting azimuth 1st for proper phase, then potentially living with a 2db of crosstalk is the way to go. they make the VERY interesting claim, that VTA will greatly affect phase but not cross... | |
| Blue Note reissues I'm one my 2nd copy of a double LP, new release from RCA Sony. Both have been all marked up like they had been played on a crappy table. They were clean of course, but in indirect light all these surface marks were apparent, AND some pitting too! | |
| getting azimuth right Np. Here's a good thread on the Foz.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1277490686&openfrom&1&4#1 | |
| Blue Note reissues The best thing is to buy from a dealer who will take them back no question I guess. Maybe I can add a list to track bad pressings to my blog too. | |
| getting azimuth right Jazzgene - who are you asking?Adjusting for phase 1st seems to be preferred, and even VTA appears to affect channel sep. | |
| Blue Note reissues Interesting. I have a SS Voice on the way, and after meticulous setup I will try again with the re-issue blue vinyl KOB. I hear that break-up on many versions, even CD in my FLAC collection (not sure which it is yet). | |
| getting azimuth right I'm interested in this software as I use a digital RIAA implementation and have all the hardware, and really the means to do most of what the software can. Still, I'm interested.I see you can use Source>WAV and load wav files? I would need to d... | |
| Blue Note reissues Hah! Yes, it is at the beginning and end of "So What" when the horns do that quiet riff. My stereo remaster really picks this up very clearly. | |
| Sonic traits of high-compliance carts? The usually have very light VTF. I'm actually considering some Soundsmith moving irons right now; but not the 28cu model (1g), rather the 23uc model (1.3g). My take is they are great trackers and provide lots of resolution due to maintaining bette... | |
| Blue Note reissues Wondering about this as I have heard mono Kind of Blue, CD, and the new blue vinyl 180gm remaster. It seems there is distortion. Check out the intro to Kind of Blue, where the horns come in. the saxes? have distortion. The "breathy" quality breaks... | |
| ASIO/ JRiver versus Windows Media Great to hear. Guys please try to AB or ABX the ASIO you are running with WASAPI. I'd be interested in what your experience. | |
| Do I need ASIO for Windows 7 ? Have you looked at system latency with WASAPI when comparing J. river 'play from memory' option. Streaming over LAN with WASAPI gives incredibly low latency (I have SSDs on bothe server and client), whereas dumping everything through memory causes... | |
| Importance of source quality with asynch USB DAC? High power cpus usually do get a bad name in some circles. While it doesn't take a ton of cpu to playback 192kHz material for example, system latency may be an issue, and with a more powerful cpu maybe their are less DPCs. I have noted how driver ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 I was also looking at the McCulloch MC1226W steamer which resembles a "re-badged Mapleshade" unit. |
