TT 1KHz played. How forgiven is our ears.

Post by roberto »

This is a reality. Our ears are truly forgiving. With this video, we can see how a TT reacts to a possible unwanted induced noise.

The info shows off the TT’s isolation. In this case it is isolated enough to avoid a groove jump, but not enough to avoid mild mistracking.

It would be interesting to see the FFT of the event.

I don’t know about you, but my ears do not forgive such intrusions. I hear them clearly and avoid such inputs by better isolation.

A CD player can show similar issues when subjected to impacts. In fact, even amps can … particularly tube amps. That’s why the vibration isolation industry has a large audiophile client base.
It’s just stuff. I like mine. I hope you like yours. I probably like yours too.
