Do turntable belts sound different?

Posted on 20140928 by admin

So, an experiment. I recorded the output from my Dynavector P75 phono stage at 24/88 using Pure Vinyl 4. The turntable a Rega RP6 was fitted with a Audio Technica OC9 Mk II. The track excerpt was from Jambalaya (On The Bayou) from a copy of the Carpenters second hits compilation I picked up at a charity store. Sorry I didn’t have time to run the Keith Monks so it’s a bit noisier that it will be when I do.

You can click on the links below and download around a minute of the track recorded using the standard black belt or the optional white belt. No other changes.

See what you think. Any difference?

If I used a Windows PC, I’d probably still use an iPad but I definitely would switch to an Android phone – probably the Nexus 5 and I’d immerse myself in the Google ecosystem. But I use a MacBook Air, so the link between computer, tablet and phone is just too strong to ignore. The Nexus is going back.

Are your LEDs too bright?

Posted on 20140826 by admin

A recent product received for review made my listening room at night look as if it was flooded by daylight. The designer had chosen LEDs that were far too bright, I guess, to make the DAC concerned jump off the shelf in a retail environment.

A quick Google search found Lightdims the answer to problems I didn’t even know I had.
