You can certainly ignore the figures, or be ignorant of them, or have
no idea how to interpret what they mean... I don't think that
"everybody" falls into that category, though, although it may be true
of many...
:-)


:-)

Even the manufacturers throw the figures out when it comes to
engineering a little 'cut and lift' in here and there to create a
*sound* do they not...??

Yes, some makers do indeed choose to alter the sound you will get in
deliberate ways. Other may do so without having any clear idea what they
are doing. :-) But that does not mean they all do this, nor intend it. Nor
may the results be what those who made a recording intended.

Slainte,

you used the IMFs and a pair of cardioids, if not the ribbons.


OK, here's a 'back to normal' for you - this is the setup (as usual):

More *spanky* than *phat slam* this time (my preference), but do play it
loud!!

(Feck - even the movie's got *clout*!! :-)

I wuz going through my 'spare kit' with a view to putting a few more
things on ****eBay when I happened across my hitherto neglected AKG P6R
cart with is spherical stylus:

...and I thought 'better give this a ride to see if it's any good - if
not, I'll get rid'! So I rigged it up (by eye only - only saps use
protractors and scales :-) and bunged it on my GL72 'Victoria Sponge'
deck:

Then put on a disc on which I thought might give it a good workout!
******oso mio!!** Furry animals fell out of the trees outside, a car
swerved off the road, the front door fell out and the guy next door put
his house up for sale! :-))

Here's a 'warts 'n' all' snatch/track/snatch which will show you a) how
*not at all bad* this cart is despite its lowly spherical stylus and b)
why vinylistas larf when people bang on about stuff like CD's 'dynamic
range':

Errrr. Let's see now.

You apparently reckon that huge differences between individual cartridges is a
GOOD reason to use vinyl ?

Pure common sense tells us that those huge differences mean that every example
is likely to be highly coloured in fact and finding one you like is akin to a
lottery.


First, miked from my TL speakers:

LOL.

So, we're suppsed to imagine that a 'good sound' is one that survived your dodgy
speakers, your dodgy room acoustics and the influence of an unknown microphone ?

LMAO !

Is the word gullible tattooed on your forehead ?

Get the 7" of Jocelyn Brown's 'Someone Elses Guy'. Nice bit of dynamics
to the start of that when the bass kicks. Might upset some decks though.
