| Best MM? I've been an IQ3 user for several years - really fabulous MM cartridge. Tracks impeccably, full range balanced frequency range, dynamic & lively but also smooth and non-fatiguing. Deep soundstage with pin-sharp imaging. I got this as a 'damage... | |

To me, most aren’t but these are...Beach Boys: California Dreamin’CCR: I Heard It Through The GrapevineSpoiler: Electrifying (Grease, ’You’re The One That I want’)Spoilers’ heavy metal version of this is a hoot & I once caused my best friend’s... | |
| I can not live without "Room Correction" Digitally corrected, fully time/phase coherent speakers in a room with acoustic treatment require minimal digital room correction.My system uses two DEQX processors in a room with superchunk bass absorbers, speaker first reflection treatment (wall... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I have ~2500 LPs & for simplicity & versatility, file similarly to many distribution warehouses:Using Ikea shelving, I have 4 rows x 6 columns, ie 24 cubes filling part of the music room wall. These are labelled A-D on the rows & 1-6 o... | |
| Will fine tune adjustments with protractor help with "brightness?" IMO it's easy to obsess about tiny differences from the various alignment setups....I use an SL1200G & have a Roksan Black & a Goldring 1024, both using the 1024 Gyger S stylus & mounted on identical headshells - the Roksan using Baerw... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G I’ve had an SL1200G since January and continue to be amazed at the way it plays music. I don’t like the DJ brutal looks & only bought it to use various spare carts that have been building up over the past 40+ years. I’d sold a bunch of hifi ge... | |
| Changes that made a difference (in order of effect). I spent a lifetime changing equipment but was never satisfied until speaker & room correction in 2012. Only changes now are source components.Long thread here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/is-deqx-a-game-changer?highlight=deqx | |
| AAA vs DDD... I've been a 'vinyl head' all my life but many (most?) new LPs are ProTools digitally mastered anyway & often sound fabulous compared to some older 60s-70s albums which can be thin or dull sounding. I prefer to focus on how the music SOUNDS rat... | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? seanheis1: Many OBs need space to breathe and should ideally be kept well clear of front and side walls.One other comment about bass & the reason I use subwoofer reinforcement below 50hz: Much live music is amplified through horn or box speake... | |
| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? Frustrated with what I hear as colouration from traditional speakers during a 40+ year search for the ’perfect sound’ (including expensive & well reviewed B&Ws, JBLs, Shahinians, Dalis, Royds), I started building Open Baffle speakers durin... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Yes, the software, user manual etc are available to download from the DEQX site (you will need to ask by email: alangford@deqx.com for the latest login & password to do so). | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I have recently completed new Open Baffle speakers utilising both DEQX processors as mentioned in previous threads. Linking master-slave by RS232 + digital cabling was straight forward. The HDP-5 controls the main speakers, the HDP-3 two subs at &... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? nomad54: i know that Spatial (the new X-1) & Larsen make speakers specifically for DEQX users and was wondering if there are any others?Legend Acoustics Tikandi | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Using a standard M23 will not have the correct DEQX calibration file unfortunately so be very careful. It will not work without this. Yes. I use DEQX with OB speakers & am now building my second pair as a 4-way, powered by an HDP-5 with an HDP... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? This could progress into quite a lengthy exchange & may take a while, depending on our relative time zones. What I've normally done in situations like this is have the user send me their .mzd file which I can interpret properly, make initial t... |
