RE: MD: Headphones Question

2001-01-08 Thread Francisco J. Huerta


I'd pick Senn580s over almost any dynamic headphone in the planet (with the
exception of Grado HP-1s or Sennheiser's own HD-600). But they would not be
adequate for DJ'ing. Reason being, they are open-back headphones. You won't
get no isolation from the outside whatsoever. Try www.audioadvisor.com; they
have sealed back Sennheisers (HD-210, I think?), which are also very good.
Or you could also try Beyerdinamic. Check those out on www.headphone.com.

If sound quality is what matters, though, get the 580s. If sound quality
REALLY matters, get any Stax =).

Francisco.

PCM Audio for DVD discs is 48Khz. Or 96/24, depending on the disc.

HD250-II (aka HD250 linear-II).  I have a set of these.  Very nice sounding
sealed headphones.

As previously mentioned, the Beyerdynamic 831 sealed headphones are a
little weaker than the Sennheiser HD250-II in the bass range.

Correct ... without a LPF the sub will be amplifying full range, not
an ideal situation, but OK.

The amplifier with amplify a full range signal causing it more stress

and it'll generate far more heat than it needs to.  The driver in the
box won't reproduce full range,
it will naturally roll off at some point, if it's a sub driver that will
probably be fairly low
(but certainly not low enough for sub use).

*Almost* all Powered subs have their own
variable LPF.  (normally from 40-120Hz)  Some THX subs are permanently
fixed at 80Hz, most will have a phase switch (some have a variable
phase),
some allow line-in only (low level), others have speaker in (high
level),
many have both.

Always interested me, what sort of audio quality do you get from a
speaker level inputs on these things?


Anyway on a more MD related note,
Has anyone with a sony R90 noticed if they skip easerly when placed
vertically (Head phone jack socket
pointing skyward) and placed an a surface with a fair amount of
vibration (my case in the car).
I only noticed this after dropping the thing down the stairs...  just
wondering if this has had an effect on it
or they just do that anyway

I guess it would sound good if you always listened to it in heavy
traffic riding on the bus.   I think for serious listening or recording,
you are better off with standard MD. 

Some infidels look down on MD as inferior because it uses ATRAC in the
first place, can you imagine their comments on the new LP stuff.  "Wow,
have you heard those MD recorders? They sure play a long time but the
sound is crap!"


Just my humble opinion of course.  I'll stick to regular MD any time.

I have recorded  on my R30 and got a copy that was good enough to submit
for a CD compilation, and so have a lot of other people.  I'm sure they
won't be able to do that with the LP mode.

Jim are you saying that based on actual double blind listening studies that
you conducted?  OK, lets not get so technical.  Have you listened to both
and in your opinion with the trained ears of a musician and feel that
regular ATRAC sounds better?

After 25 years or so of having a highspeed drill blast my ears, I no longer
consider myself qualified to judge.

If you feel strongly enough that LP is not as good as standard MD, then that
is good enough for me.

Well Larry, if you can't judge yourself, why not get more recording time?
People are so worried about what others think of their own idea of fidelity.
If you think LP4 sounds great, listen to it, and brag that you get 320
minutes of record time and are happy.  I love this board, but so many people
are worried about pleasing the few audiophiles that actually read these
messages. It's been a long day

No, I haven't listened to it at all.  It is just that when I record
something, I want it  to be very close the original.  MD is very close
to CD quality.  However, from the reports of people that have posted
their experiance to the list,  they can tell a difference between
standard MD and LP mode.  As I recall, they said the extra long play
mode on some of the units is only good for recording lectures. 

LP isn't the quality I am looking for in MD equipment and I doubt if
anyone the plays music will want it either.  They aren't looking for
super long recordings, they are looking for high quality recordings so
they can use the material in the future if they want to.
