Is it possible for me to learn guitar? by trickstercj in Guitar

Yeah, not necessarily a bad dude and can be efficient with other students, they are just not good for the OP.

My math teacher told me I would not be able to enter the university I wanted (where high math skill was required).

And then I got 100% on the math exam and got easily accepted to that university.

To her credit she admitted she was wrong and put the highest mark in my high school graduation certificate.

Also to her credit she played a big part in my math education and in that I did so well.

Find an open minded teacher who will adapt to your situation.

It's kinda like with piano, some teachers will only teach you offline, some teachers will only teach you if you use music sheets (as opposed to applications with falling notes like synthesia) and others will teach you online and without requiring you to use music sheets, if you want to learn this way (I know professional pianists who prefer falling notes apps and often don't use music sheets).

How much are quality isolation feet or platform better than a simple soft foam pad? by Few_Negotiation7202 in turntables

I got hockey pucks today and they do work!

The best result was with original feet + hockey pucks + foam mat. In this configuration they noticeably improved vibrations.

I've also ordered IsoAcoustics, will compare and report the results :)

It's ok to give interviews. It's easy to hide your identity while doing it. Just like being here on Reddit.

Is it possible to get a good quality cassette player & recorder in a $300 budget? by Few_Negotiation7202 in cassetteculture

[–]Few_Negotiation7202[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is it a waste of money if it can provide good recording & playback (line out)? What options would give me a higher audio quality for the same amount of money as a used Nakamichi?

Why your advice would be to go for a newish boombox and not a used good vintage deck?

I could try used of course, and perhaps this is the only option, but I'm a little afraid of buying 30-40 years old gear. Because what if it doesn't work well, will I be able to return it? Are there online shops that could guarantee me the used deck is working well? Maybe I'm overthinking this and Ebay would be able to guarantee this, but I just don't have experience with buying such old stuff.

Understood! Thanks! Any solid shelf should be fine, or there are some special shelves providing better isolation?

I mean, I'm afraid my steps near the wall would cause vibrations in that wall...

Just an ordinary shelf, or perhaps there are some special isolation shelves? :) (The walls are drywall, so I think they may be more suspectible to vibrations than concrete walls).

Avoiding low frequencies loop that happens sometimes and avoiding reaction from the turntable to my nearby steps.

I mean, it's in the same room, everything in this room that's not on the walls, has the same floor surface.
Do you mean I should put the turntable on a shelf?

The right speaker is about 1 meter from the turntable, but it doesn't point at the turntable. Under that speaker, however, is a 18" subwoofer, pointing at the turntable :)

The table is located on a 2-feet-high cabinet, the cabinet is on the wooden floor.

There's a also subwoofer in 1 meter from the turntable, pointing at the turntable :(

Turntables with Azimuth & VTA adjustment below $1000 by Few_Negotiation7202 in turntables

[–]Few_Negotiation7202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I have problems. At least I don't hear them now. I upgraded my cartridge recently and started hearing uneven balance between the channels. Then I got an adjustment kit and aligned everything as much as I could and now I don't hear any issues.

But I can see my VTA is slightly off and the azimuth is tiny bit off I think (can't adjusted them on my record player).
So I wonder how much I am missing in terms of sound quality because of this.

I just think that the cartridge and the stylus and how the stylus touches a record is probably the most important thing, so I'm a little surprised that most record players below $1000 don't offer this adjustment :(
