Frequency response of vinyl

[tlaskows]

Yes, I know way off topic, that's why it's here.

I compared some old records VS brand new ones. The turntable is a cheap Denon from few years back with a built in preamp. Hooked it up straight to analog in on PCI card. Running at 96kHz. Is this a normal/proper frequency response for a record? It does sound just great on my studio monitors, so it really doesn't matter.



Thanks,

yeah, normal.

I knew you would know! I won't tell you how much I paid for the 25ft RCA cable to hook it up to my Scope

Let's just say, not a whole lot. Maybe you can buy a case of pop with that money ahahahaha.

The girl at the computer store was like no one uses these anymore/I haven't seen these in a while. I didn't want to get into details of how I cannot connect an analog record player using Toslink...

My parents are gonna kill me. I hooked up the subwoofer. Squarepusher was fine, perfect balance. But I have this 80s Bananarama or somthing and it's just shaking the walls

I am not sure how to tune it. I have a cheap DB meter, but of course the room acoustics are far from ideal. Basically it sounds different in every spot in the room :/

yeah, tuning the sub is nearly impossible without tuning the room.
just set it at a comfortable level.

[tlaskows]

Yep, I know that

It will mostly likely be off most of the time. There's a foot switch that shuts it off. Perfect idea!

It's only 10" and it goes down low. It's pretty smooth, unlike those home theater or cab subs that can only play 1 note

Yup. Different tunes yield way differing sub stuff. I always have to play with the sub to get it right. I never mix with it.

[tlaskows]

Yeah, I thought the whole concept of 'near field' was to sit close to them so things sound pretty even
