Hi

Im trying to match my new much more efficient Klipsch rc 52 center with my old yamaha ns555. when i try the test tones, the center channel is significantly louder than the mains, Im not very experienced,but i dont think its supposed to be like that.

any suggestions ? thanks

This may seem like an odd question but I was wondering what the current opinion is with cleaning new vinyl. Does it need to be cleaned or only after use? I don't know if there is residue from the pressing or not. Thanks.

Folks,

Many people believe that narrow peaks and nulls are not audible, especially nulls. While a narrow bandwidth affects a smaller range of frequencies and thus less overall energy than a wide bandwidth, very narrow bandwidths can still be highly audible. What really matters is if the frequencies being boosted or cut align with frequencies present in the source.

Hi everyone

I've been a long time subscriber of Stereophile but I just now came to see the forum. Cool stuff!

I was recently re-listening to some stereo recordings made by me and by others, including Peter McGrath's recordings, which are made with the microphones separated about 6.5 inches emulating the distance between our ears. The whole premise being that because the inter-aural distance is preserved, both volume and time arrival differences can be preserved in the recording so that upon listening to them the brain can pin-point all the sound-sources with more realism.

It looks like VPI has a new TT - that "30th Anniversary Classic Turntable." It looks nice in a different way...

Anyone have any details?

I thought I'd show you you guys my latest tweak for the Rega: The Stalking Leopard.

The leopard stalks and hunts destructive resonances and kills them dead.

The result is markedly improved imaging, instrumental timbre rendition, tighter bass, and better soundstaging.

You can toss your smoky quartz stones, myrtle blocks, green dots, and brilliant pebbles....Resonances never knew what hit 'em when The Stalking Leopard is around.

today looking through the attic of my family we found all sorts of vintage stereo equipment amp, mixers ,preamps
does any one have information on cm920 amp cm914
cm620 mixer-preamp

i found cm lab cm920 amp in the attic in perfect shape
does any body want it or no what its worth?

Are there any Rega P1 owners out there who are having trouble with noisy motors? I'm on my second motor and I'm still getting a (less noticeable but still there) chugging sort of sound coming from the unit. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if my deck is possibly defective beyond just the motor. Thanks for reading and happy listening!
