I recently have included some video in my system and have noticed that the same concert versions of some recordings sound different. Is is normal for the DVD version to sound a little more "thin" or "fleshed out" compared to the identical CD issue. I have noticed this on both the Alison Krauss "Live" recordings and Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris "Live Roadrunning". The DVD version just does not seem to be as complete or go as deep. I have ruled out interconnect and equipment issues. Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rob
It's easy for an audiophile to fall in love with grand, state-of-the-art speakers, but when it comes to high performance in a small space, fewer jewels stand out. Reader Gus Kund wants to know: What is your favorite bookshelf speaker?
I just unboxed my new music hall mmf-5. As this is my first record player, I have no real reference point to judge the quality of the setup. I followed the instructions exactly but had a little of difficulty setting up the tone arm. I finally got it working and I think the records sound pretty damn good but I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions to insure the best setup. As for my components, I have a denon DRA-345R receiver and and a pair of tannoy pbm-8's left over from my dad's recording studio. thanks for your help.
I have a budget of approximately $1000 CAD (850USD?) and I want a subwoofer I can grow with. Right now I have less than adequate speakers with a low quality passive subwoofer. I eventually plan to have an entire system but I want to start with a subwoofer. The audio shop near me suggested a JMLab Cobalt SW800S that is 1500 on sale for 1000. At that price point, what should I be looking at?
Given the apparent popularity of MF's TT setup DVD, why doesn't someone do an LP-12 setup DVD? I bet they'd sell a bunch.
