Re: Tune Dem of Headphones

Re: Tune Dem of Headphones

Try a pair of cheap closed headphones with the DSM (AKG K52/72/92)
Thanks for tip. I could add to my opinions above that the 325 worked surprisingly good with my LP12. In fact i think it sounded better with the LP12 than the Akurate DSM.

Re: Sweetspot

Do you have a sweetspot in your listening room. Is it important for you to sit there to enjoy the music? My quick respsone is that I never had a sweet spot. I have though about this quite a lot over the years and wondered why people are so obssed by these sweetspots. I might had some sort of sweet ...

Re: Brexit problems

It is called "Outward processing" in English. If you export something to a country outside EU for repair, you don't have to pay import duties and VAT on the value of the machine when you import it back. However, the principle is that you need to pay VAT and all the other fees on the value added. If ...

Re: Tune Dem of Headphones

I have been living with a pair of Grado SR325e for more than year now. I am not so impressed. I use the headphone on my Akurate DSM and Grado’s extension cable. But the music never really grabs me. My feets are not tapping. I give up quite quickly to watch TV or use my Ipad to watch music videos on ...

Very interesting clips, since I am not so familiar with this record or the music. My immediate reaction is b), more subtle, more details about how the trumpet (?) is played. But then a) has more smoothing sound, more like the Linn LP12 I am used to in my memory. I am getting a little bit disturbed b...

Dr Loudness War

The loudness war keeps on going. I found the recent album by Haim (2020) just terrible. When I tried to confirm my suspicions, I discovered this site (below) that measures the dynamic range in albums. My favorite albums are typically in the green and yellow. And, it appears that most vinyl versions ...

Linn LP12 Belts

I bought a new belt for my LP12,. From a non-official Linn shop. The belt was supposed to by original Linn. The belt felt thicker and firmer than my old belts. It wasn't smooth either. There was a type of buckle on it that you could see when it was driven by the motor. I let it run for some time. Th...
