Vinyl rip sounding tinny - agentsmith - 03-Jul-2017 Just tried ripping a couple of records and the resulting 24/96 ripped files are sounding tinny with low level and no bass. Amp is D440 Pro Details: - Sampling rate 24/96 - Software Vinyl Studio - Amp D440 Pro - Source Linn Sondek LP12 with Phasemation PP-300 Cartridge with Phasemation Step UP Transformer. The D440 Pro was upgraded from D400. Previously, vinyls ripped using the same method sounded exactly like direct playback. I think this is the my first vinyl rip after upgrading to D440 Pro so I am not sure if this is related to the new hardware. Has anyone experienced this before? I am doing exactly the same steps as before. I have tried several LPs and the results are the same. The LP playback sounds fantastic, the ripped files sounds like tin can. RE: Vinyl rip sounding tinny - thumb5 - 03-Jul-2017 Silly question, but here goes anyway: is the analog input your SUT is connected to configured for phono with RIAA equalisation? RE: Vinyl rip sounding tinny - agentsmith - 04-Jul-2017 Yes analogue output of SUT is connected to phono configured as MM It sounding wonderful and normal when played directly and during the recording RE: Vinyl rip sounding tinny - Soniclife - 04-Jul-2017 (04-Jul-2017, 00:55)agentsmith Wrote: Yes analogue output of SUT is connected to phono configured as MM Sounds like a bug. If you use RAM to select flat when playing does it sound like the rip?

If it sounds OK using VinylStudio's monitoring as you record it, maybe it's a problem in VS's filtering or output encoding (although you said no changes to your procedure)? Might be worth having a chat with Paul at AlpineSoft.

No, the sound is so thin and tinny that it the rip definitely broken.

I already posted a question to Alpinesoft. I think they will give me good advice.

I only had the problem with the thin sounding rip when I use an external step up transformer and connect to the Devialet's MM phono section. When I connect the phono cable direct to the Devialet's MC section the rip sounds fine. However, in both cases the level is much lower than playing via the turntable, i.e. when I play back both files, I had to turn the volume way up. Any idea why that would be? The step up transformer sounds perfect if I play via the TT.

That's how I do it - headphones connected to the Mac are usually good enough to tell you whether it's recording properly. |
