Ok
So a few months ago, i upgraded my beaten up 500ALIIs for the M44G's based on people's opinion in this forum.. and i was shocked.. after the upgrade i could hear more high end distortion, and a overdriven sound.. as if the treble was being clipped? At first i thought it was because i had upgraded some ghetto party speakers with a Klipsch 5.1 set up.. maybe the noise was because i have better speakers
Anyway, i lived with the nasty sound for about 5 months and just the other day i upgraded my numark 3 channel mixer from about 5 years ago with the numark x1500..
wow.
the overdriven treble is gone. sound is much cleaner and less harsh. i guess upgrading from the 500AL to the M44g gave a better output which became more noticible on the klipsch speakers, which was fixed, by upgrading to a decent mixer.
moral of the story: if up upgrade one piece, you are gonna need to upgrade everything... from the needle, through the mixer and the speakers!!! never knew a needle and a mixer could change the sound so much! next purchase: entry-level monitors! |

I doubt you needed to buy all of that. You probably just had the trim too high :wtf:...nothing should pass orange (0db).
If I go get a DJM 707, does that mean I have to upgrade my turntables to Technics 1210m5g's with ortofon nightclubs, and a pair of CDJ 1000's?
Sure. Infact, I'm just going to put them on my credit card right now.
On another note. Congratulations on the "accomplishment". |

| No.. trim was not high at all.. it was probably because i bought the mixer about 5-6 years ago off eBay.. and it was USED at that! no, i'm not saying you need to upgrade your tables, but what i'm saying is that a good needle on speakers will sound like .. and conversely, a needle on a good sound set up will still sound like .. i'm saying i couldn't appreciate quality equipment when i had limiting factors.. its like the weakest link in the chain sorta thing... |
