| Dick's / Dave's picks I have bootlegs that sound better than the Dave's Picks which which showed that they did not go through Plangent process. They are all murky and I also notice that there is often very annoying distortion on certain frequencies, especially on Jerr... | |
| Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left/ Is it just a bad recording The CD I have of FLL sounds very nice. I assume I have the better that was describes. I can let you know that there is no reason to buy the LP reissue of FLL from a few years ago as it is the same quality as the CD I have. | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I didn't subscribe this year because I found the Dave's Picks from prior years to be poorly mastered. If you compare them to older Dick's Picks it is a big difference. If someone noticed an improvement in 2017 CDs I'd love to hear that they are ... | |
| Elac B5 and B6??? Just another flash in the pan speaker?? or worth it I am also very interested in the new Uni-Fi Elac floorstanders. I live in NJ and there is a store that has the debut models and will hopefully soon have the UNi-Fi versions. I spoke with the guy and he reminded that I have a lot of options at th... | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions Rega p7 with a few upgrades. Gold ring 1042 cartridge. It's on a 100 pound sandbox. | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions Thank you. That is very good advice regarding VTF on mono records. | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions I almost always adjust the anti skate by ear though | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions Your anti skate should increase to match your VTF so it should technically be increased when you play a thicker record because raising the cartridge height naturally increases the V TF.Yes I'm playing it through a stereo setup | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions Yes, I knew I was going to get banned but that's me. I'm sickened seeing people kiss butt to moderators/dealers, etc. over their real opinions and that happens on pretty much all forums. I'm in same boat in that I'm not familar with the recording... | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions The bass is distorted and sounds like its going to collapse my speakers on God Only Knows. It's perfect on I Know There's An Answer and things get better in from outside. I know what you might say but that is the opposite of what I usually expe... | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions I check level of my TT every session and i usually increase my anti skate when I put on 180-200 gram albums. I'm only hearing it on this lp. I just listened to several thick albums (Dylan MFSL with harp and backup singers) and all is as it should ... | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions That was good, I read the first part in my email and believed it! Thanks for not being crazy people | |
| Turntable hum Yes, I fixed a ground loop hum by doing exactly what jmcgrogan2 recommended. First make sure it's not your power plugs. If it's not, the cable may be it. I ran a separate ground cable to one of my cable splitters and that seemed to reduce the h... | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. The 2WQs will add the lows you may be seeking and the removal of the load on your amp will likely improve your high range. That may actually be the best part! I keep the "Q" level almost down to zero. The higher you set it, the more boomy bass ... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks The Daves Picks that have been coming out are not well mastered in my opinion. They are very dark and just not EQ'd like Dead music should be. When you compare the quality to the earlier Dicks Picks, it is quite a difference. I was being lambas... |
