    UPDATE ON RRV ie RIGHT ROOM VOLUME

    Oh. What doesn’t click. I really thought I’d explained things. Not withstanding the ignorant abuse from some quarters I’m genuinely trying to prove that RRV is a thing. But others don’t seem to wish to learn and I can’t help that

    UPDATE ON RRV ie RIGHT ROOM VOLUME

    Respectfully. All music sounds spot on when RRV is set correctly. But yes I can only talk about a personal listening room situation.

    UPDATE ON RRV ie RIGHT ROOM VOLUME

    I can only go by what I’ve evaluated in my listening room. It’s clear to me it’s ‘a thing’. I do wish others with supposedly open minds would stop snarking.

    Go on I’ve suggested plenty. You add some.

    UPDATE ON RRV ie RIGHT ROOM VOLUME

    Peter. Again, the preamp volume does not change. But yes, changes in dynamics are of course ‘a thing’ but the RRV adds to the magic in such scenarios, not subtract. I really don’t get what’s so difficult about this.

    Trolling. Hahahahaha. It’s you whos trolling coz you can’t stand that others join in on a reasonable discussion. Clearly you don’t know how to set RRV. Pity. ( and pity those who ‘like’ your sad response. )

    UPDATE ON RRV ie RIGHT ROOM VOLUME

    I see that and respectfully you’re missing out. I listen at the correct level ( and boy is it realistic) and my EXTENSIVE evaluations convince me there is just one setting for RRV. Any changes beyond YOUR RRV ie when you alter the volume, can have a palpable effect on the sound and your...

    UPDATE ON RRV ie RIGHT ROOM VOLUME

    I have on numerous occasions so I’m hoping it’s covered. I have experience in music studio ownership and producing and mixing and cutting multi million selling records. I come on to help but I fear those who respond are in no rush to upgrade their listening situations. I play music at the...

    UPDATE ON RRV ie RIGHT ROOM VOLUME

    A controversial subject for some on here and cause of much gnashing of teeth RRV IS CRUCIAL TO GETTING THE SOUND BALANCE RIGHT. ONCE SET YOU DO NOT CHANGE IT, and no I don’t care how loud or how quiet, volume wise, your lp is pressed. RRV just gives you more head room on lower volume records...

    Single-Ended Triode (SET) Amplifier Revolution of the 1990s. Did it really happen? Was it Successful?

    I do/did. It’s called Audiopax Model 88. The earliest mk1 is still the best but the third iteration named after someone I know VERY well is pretty darned close.
