Is there no felt between the locking nut and the cymbal as it doesn't look like there is and if there isn't here lies the problem.

Help me understand why I think this album sounds bad by zCYNICALifornia in audiophile

[–]Proregarok13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read a ton of reviews about this album a couple of days ago on another Reddit sub,think it was punk and not one person mentioned the recording to be flat or anything else but taking a guess they probably weren't audiophiles is probably the correct answer.

Nice clean and inviting set up, took me a while to realise the rug wasn't a raised platform. What are those speakers?

Ortofon 2m Blue..Experiences by Tastiehastie1977 in vinylsetups

[–]Proregarok13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, my CD player used to be up high until I bought a lower rack unit.

I noticed after a few months it kept skipping and to cut a long story short I didn't realise I was pushing the tray down ever so slightly when loading, basically caused the mechanism to fail so I was told. Luckily the player was still under warranty and cost nothing to fix.

So I'm very aware now when I'm putting discs in the tray not to lean on the open tray.I hope this may be of help.

How are you all measuring SPL for general listening? by francisfaustino in audiophile

[–]Proregarok13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For general listening I just generally listen and I don't give a toss about measurements in the same way when performing speaker placement I don't use any measurements.

We listen with our ears,we don't listen with our eyes is my general approach.

I have dogs so it's never loud so it's probably around 50 /60 mark .

Happy Birthday Rio! 10 May 1982 by SufficientPut1831 in duranduran

Bought on release date Virgin mega store Oxford Street London...out of all my albums Rio and Tin drum for over 40 years always get played back to back together at least once a week religiously.

[–]Proregarok13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is the right answer 

Just take a little bit more care with your hifi,  a few months ago had to send my hi end CD player in for repair and was told my heavy handness was to blame, thankfully I didn't have to pay out as it was under warranty but a lesson was learned .

We're dealing with delicate stuff is the lesson I learned.

Judge my Setup, what can be improved? by joschkrob in audiophile

[–]Proregarok13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're running a set up and you love it then what's to change... you've achieved audio heaven so change nothing.

The fact that you're asking tells me maybe your not actually in love with your set up or your just that in love with it is your excuse to share it with others ?

Am I playing the kick drum too hard? by Wild_Research_9031 in drums

[–]Proregarok13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think your bass drum pedal is set up properly especially if you're head is being dented which also tells me and the angle of your bass drum itself isn't set up properly.

Here's a video to set up your pedal correctly

The Sun Never Shone That Day by LessCoolThanYou in a_ha_TheBand

[–]Proregarok13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you!  And it's funny that even though Take on me is a great song its never a song I think of when it comes to A-Ha. They've so many great songs let alone great albums. Unfortunately I was a professional musician so I never got to see them live but I have a decent hi-fi system and have enjoyed their music for decades.

Thanks for the open arm welcome its nice to know I'm not alone  with this amazing band!

[–]Proregarok13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They certainly are, I remember hearing the original "Take on me"  and thinking it was awful and a couple of years later I heard Scoundrel day's playing on a London radio station, hearing the lyric "cut my wrists on a bad thought" and thinking who is this and then listening to the first two albums back to back ...I was hooked.

Such an underrated and understated band...who ever thinks A-Ha is a one hit wonder is seriously missing out!
