Re: The Importance of Audio Measurements

Quoting two levels: Level 1: As to the multi-tone measurements and cable microphonics, it would be nice to see some quantified results, and of course, DBTs. But you already know that.

and 2: Yes, I certainly agree. One reason I picked this particular quote is because it seemed to have a little more engineering detail than most high end websites. Nonetheless, it raises more questions than it answers, and obviously has its share of hype-factor.

If you still have an LP table, just try tapping the side of one of your low-level phono cables. Just to make sure it isn't the cart being microphonic, hold that end (not an absolute test, of course).

You may be surprised. You may have to turn up the gain, but then you'll be surprised, too, maybe.

You'd be surprised what can be a microphone under the wrong conditions :)
