I don't suppose you have a catalogue number for any of Peter's Grado recordings do you? I'd love to hear one.

I would like to think that somewhere there is, apart from in the classical world, an uncompressed or limited vocal recording, but I doubt it very much, even for Richard Hawley. In voice capture the...

I would recommend using a high quality electronic crossover with active subs if you play music with extreme low frequency content.

a) you can select crossover frequency and slope to suit the room...

seems OK now. Thanks

{Moderator's comment: nothing changed this side! Must be internet issue!}

weird!

I seem to be downloading a corrupt file too. 3.33MB is the latest filesize, while a 2.76MB file was downloaded previously, even though it's supposed to be 4.1MB.

I tried the link posted Vlado, but it didn't work. Perhaps this might help:

Here's a pic of David Bowie in the studio when he played on the Mark Radcliffe show. The M30 in foreground is the left side of the main monitor pair in this studio's control room (direct to...

Yes Labarum, the internet stream from the PC goes optically, and the satellite RXCVR goes sp-diff, BOTH into my Bryston DAC.

The satellite RXCVR is a Humax HD set to stereo out, and the PC can...

Add this too:
Debussy Preludes & l'Isle Joyeuse by Maurizio Pollini on DGG 458 187-2.
A well made very natural piano recording, imho.

I can confirm that the Hi-res internet AAC stream does indeed sound better than the satellite feed, so perhaps a fast internet connection is the way to go. (saves building a radio telescope!)

Yes when I first tried it when I made the post it worked, but subsequently I get the "not available in your area" standard i-player message.
The AAC stream does work, but as I have a satellite...

this seems to be a permanent link and opens the BBC player.

Wouldn't a mechanical resonance in a drive unit show up on that driver's raw (no crossover) impedance / frequency curve? That would help to see if a peak was due to an acoustic or or mechanical...

YES as there's no more cash :)

Seriously though, I listen for long periods to my system with vinyl and CD and radio/tv /DVD inputs and NEVER get ear fatigue. I put this down to the Harbeth M30s...

Point taken Pluto about the standard of R3 balances, which are usually beyond reproach. The squashed sound was only apparent on the TV output, which travels via a different broadcast chain.

I watched the last night on HD TV via satellite and while the sound balance was excellent (except not enough organ for me) was disappointed by the amount of audio level compression. This was most...

One lot of distortion may be acceptable, perhaps that of the microphone, but in my experience it's the combined effect of added distortions that...

What's the power output of your amplifier, and is there an equaliser in line?

Certainly not! BBC Manchester studio5 has M30s mounted horizontally with the HF units innermost, on metal stands to bring them clear of the top of the mixing desk. Many famous bands have been...
