So, a little bit of fun for a Sunday, I decided to see how good fellow AKers are at spotting differences in VTA (and of course test the theory that there are differences!!!). What I've done is take three clips from three different songs, each one including a very 'tail down' clip, a 'balanced' clip and a very 'tail up' clip. All you have to do is guess which is which
The kit I've used is a Project 6-Perspex with the 9cc Evo arm, and a Soundsmith Othello cartridge, aligned to Baerwald:
The clips are recorded as 48k 24 bit WAV, so reasonably good quality I hope.
And for illustration here's the 'tail down' VTA:
The level VTA:
And the 'tail up' VTA:
Just so you can see there is very real VTA differences between each clip.
OK, so the first three:
A1 - http://song.space/3qauja
A2 - http://song.space/3hqy5y
A3 - http://song.space/3c5geu
The second set of three:
B1 - http://song.space/3lf6v7
B2 - http://song.space/3glhvk
B3 - http://song.space/3mcs6c
And the third set:
C1 - http://song.space/3ta63y
C2 - http://song.space/3kk8fp
C3 - http://song.space/3f9ggz
I'll let you know which is which in a little while.
