    Fun with vinyl measurements

    Thanks for your suggestion. I actually bought the belt Little Belter (from a different manufacturer), although this was mainly to stabilize the speed and make the speed more accurate. I don't know if the EBLT belt would improve on that though ... At first I had put tape around the subplatter to...

    Fun with vinyl measurements

    Thanks for your explanation. It sounds like something I wouldn't be able to do with my Rega, but it was interesting nonetheless, and I'm happy to hear that you were able to improve upon it. As for the Dr. Feickert 7" record, I've heard stories of some people getting a really poorly pressed copy...

    Fun with vinyl measurements

    Do I understand you correctly that you don't have direct experience with that particular test tone record I referred to? I think it was a 7" record made by Dr. Feickert. I understand that test records can be problematic, but exactly this problem with Shake n' Spin showing too high a speed was...

    Fun with vinyl measurements

    Yes, Framer (and many others) absolutely does that. Although I didn't bother to look it up now, I do remember reading Framer going on about how OMA had done blind tests of its speed stability, and differences of fractions of a second so small that it couldn't be measured made an audible...

    Fun with vinyl measurements

    From what magazine is this test of the OMA and SAT? If you have the magazine and are able to photograph and post it all (perhaps in a PM to me) I would be super grateful. Framer seemed to make a big deal about the speed accuracy and stability of the OMA K3.

    Fun with vinyl measurements

    My main cartridge is an Audio Technica AT33PTG/II, but I also have an Audio Technica VM750SH, which has quite a large spike around 10-12 kHz. On records from the 60s and 70s this often (but not always) makes a pleasant improvement, as it adds some sparkle to material that wasn't very top-end...

    Archimago has a new DAC listening test

    On JP's suggestion I will now reveal what I heard and where, in the hopes that others will then give an ABX test a go: In the section around 0:23 I could indeed hear Dark Funeral underneath the Mozart music. Are others able to hear the same? I will be the first one to admit that this test has...

    Can anyone explain the vinyl renaissance?

    IMO the summing of bass into mono isn't a big deal either, as most music from the 70s onwards have the bass more or less in the middle (or equally panned to both sides) anyway. As for the roll-off, it obviously depends a lot on the content, and how much is rolled off, but I imagine that the...

    Can anyone explain the vinyl renaissance?

    That was the joy of life in the 80s and early 90s - if someone among your friends, at school, at work, in the youth club, whatever, had some music you liked, you could get the music for free - just dub it to a cassette tape. Of course, when the mp3 craze began many years later, the same thing...

    Can anyone explain the vinyl renaissance?

    I might add that 25 bucks for that record is the steal of the century if it's the original :cool:.

    Archimago has a new DAC listening test

    I know this is an old topic by now, but it wasn't until now that I got around to doing an ABX test after making a new version of the two files I originally ABX'ed (Mozart mixed with the black metal band Dark Funeral at -70 dB), so if you're up for it, I would be very happy to hear if you, or...

    What is generally the best material for speaker cones with the least compromise and most benefits?

    So, at least in that aspect metal domes could potentially be considered to sound "harder". But what the rest of you guys said about confirmation bias also makes sense.

    What is generally the best material for speaker cones with the least compromise and most benefits?

    I know this question will call for some somewhat subjective responses, but would it be fair to say that tweeters made of metal generally give the speaker a "harder" sound compared to other materials, e.g. textile like silk or something, which would then sound less "hard" (smoother)?

    how does one achieve such excellent sound quality on youtube?

    It's no trouble to say a few words. I didn't listen all that long anyway. The shop assistant first put on the song "Queen Mary" by Francine Thirteen, which I had never heard before. I thought "Wow! This sounds massive! Spectacular! A soundstage that covers the entire wall. Amazing!" Then he put...

    how does one achieve such excellent sound quality on youtube?

    I went to listen to these speakers the other day. If you like, I can tell you my opinion about them, whether I write it here (which might be interesting to others) or in a private message. If my subjective opinion is not so important to you, that's perfectly okay too :-).

    Nordost SuperFlatLine Speaker Cable Review

    I wasn't talking about what you, egellings, would like to see, but what certain other people would probably like to see. Like I said, I don't expect the the measurements to show any (noticeable) difference, but I still think it could be useful to show exactly that.

    Nordost SuperFlatLine Speaker Cable Review

    ??? I was trying to say that I was hoping that Amir (or someone else) could show the measurements. Although I don't expect there to be any difference, or at least not audible improvement, as of now it is really only speculation that those cables and cords in question are no different than...
