Okay, I didn’t know that model had been discontinued, I was able to get one 
so may as well use it .
I’ll write more on the Zoom H6 shortly though other list members have pretty 
much covered that recorder so there’s probably little point me saying all 
that much more .

So I have the DM4 and Dm7, soon to be getting the LS14 and Ls100, I use 
all for different recording applications as some models have strengths 
whilst others have weaknesses.
So I’ve named the four models I’ll be using and I’m wondering are their 
any other current Olympus models I should be looking at for any particular 
reasons?
The portable audio and video recorder market out there seems to be 
absolutely saturated now with all the big names, Marantz, Taskam, Foxtex 
and Boss just to name a few, has anyone had any hands on experience with 
any other portable audio recorders.

And yep, I have the Zoom H6, a wonderful machine indeed.

No problem! The pro-ject tables have the adjustable tracking via 
counterwate, and the phono box is the preamp that you will need. Also these 
turntables are dead on for speed.

Thanks for this, my Aiwa is getting a little old now and I have been looking 
around for a replacement.
Thankfully one of the Hi-Fi specialist stores I know very well does stock 
Pro-ject and they’re supposed to be very reasonable so I’ll take a look the 
next time I’m down there.

Yep, will be doing that this weekend, have some lost  45’s bought from 
Vinyl Australia to sample and I’ve got the old Aiwa Turntable prepared 
and ready, have one of the computers here connected to the line-out of 
the Rotal Amp which has a truly superb Fono stage built-in.
I have both the Mac and Windows versions of Vinyl Studio Pro so it will 
be interesting to see which I get better access to, the Mac or the 
Windows version, at this early stage they both seem rather equal.

RE: bass shakers

I don't really have a choice but to try something like that at present.
Just thought someone else had some experience with it.  The home theatre
effect part of it is of no relevance to me at all.

H if you're talking about the things that are for home theater that
supposedly when you're watching say Jurasic park or a Godzilla movie is
supposed to vibrate your chare? I don't know. They should be pretty good
though as they are for theater use. They are meant for movies. Just be care
full cause they apparently according to Scott Wilkinson can make ya feel
funny. He calls them but shakers. He doesn't like them. But that's Scott. I
personally haven't tried them so I don't know. I'd probably try it if the
chance presents it self to before buying 1 just to see. Also if what Scott
had happen to him to also see if it doesn't make you feel weerd like it did
to him. But that's the idea. How effective it is I don't know. But actually
it might be kinda curious to try 1.

Hi all

 

Has anyone ever tried one of these devices and would it amplify bass
frequencies of music say from below hundred herz so that you will be able to
feel it?  I do not have these frequencies anymore and am wondering if you
will be able to actually distinguish musical notes through them or are they
not accurate enough?

 

Hope this makes sense!!
