    Low frequency noise in digital recordings

    When I listen to music through my RME ADI devices, I notice a lot of music appears to have low frequencies pumping up and down, almost independent of the other frequencies, as per the image below. I am guessing this is something to do with the way music gets recorded? I’ve seen it across a...

    So I am interested in picking up a Technics 1210 GR and have been reading about this model and the more expensive G model. There appear to be some tangible material differences between the two. I understand the materials, fit and finish are likely higher and the extra cost is not all about...

    Purifi Amp - Hiss…and then it was gone!?

    Hello all I had an unexpected audio experience today and am really interested in getting to the bottom of it. I have a Chord TT2 feeding a Purifi Amp, into Revel F208’s. In the past I could not get the Chord and Purifi to play nicely together. Hiss from the F208’s was always an issue whether I...

    Chord Mojo 2 Release

    The Chord Mojo 2 looks set for release tomorrow. Looks to be a general upgrade to the original, with some feedback from users being taking into consideration. Nothing particularly unexpected. The thing that peaked my interest though (and thought may be of interest to others here), is it has...
