| Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork. @chakster The Linn Basik is NOT awful. Could you please try to open your mind up to those of us who are not "cost is no object" members!There were many reviews of the Basik/LVX table paired with a Shure V15 that declared it the best value in high ... | |
| Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork. 1) I can't find the MyMat on US Audio Mart. A little help, please?2) isn't it the height of insanity (or arrogance) to recommend that one spend $250 on a mat for a Linn Basik? That money surely could be better spent.3) I have a Linn Basik in my "B... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music I love the way that Parnas physically interacts with her instrument. At one point she tosses her hair back to increase the intimacy with her neck. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music @geoffkait I heard her free concert on the mall in 1971 when I was at GWU. Did you ever go to the Red Lion pub? There was also a pizza place we frequented (if you can call anything they served in DC real pizza - I'm from NJ) but I can't recall the... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music @mahgister Thanks 4 the response. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Almost anything by Roberta Flack; but I'll offer "The Impossible Dream" today because her interpretation is so unique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H24wcLTj0BQ Lemme know how you feel. | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really I am not giving up any of my CDs, SACD,s DVD-As; etc. just as I never gave up any of my vinyl!!!!! I paid good money for all that stuff and almost all of it has given me a tremendous amount of enjoyment and still does. When I’m playing a LP I don’... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? @simonmoon " He likes those porcelain ceramic insulators. They can be found for a lot less money than the ones made for audio."Isn't this a bit of a tip that some audio vendors can be quite predatory?Also, I am suspicious of any tweak that is r... | |
| Moving up from an Oppo 205 @tweak1 "I would first look at which USB cable you’re using. WireWorld series 8 was a big improvement for me in my 105"Wouldn’t no USB cable at all be best? Just plug a drive right into the socket?BTW, I'm a fan of WireWorld. | |
| I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers @Shamus2211,So sorry to hear about your dilemma. May I suggest that you enjoy your system as long as you can and do not underestimate your family's ability to handle the rest at a later time, perhaps with some astute advice from you. We never know... | |
| SACD or not Quite a range of prices here. https://www.hifishark.com/model/oppo-bdp-105Look for a modded one and dicker. No need for Darby edition if you are focusing on audio. Find out who did the mods. | |
| Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated They are hard to find; but if you can, listen to any integrated by Primarehttps://mofidistribution.com/I have the older I32; but the I25 may be closer to what you want.Also, I am surprised no one has mentioned the Belles Aria by Power Modules. htt... | |
| SACD or not I agree with those who have recommended Oppo. I started with a humble DV-980 and discovered the advantages of not just SACD; but DVDA, which was a really great format and there are still some available on ImportCDs.com; but also HDCD. Quit a few C... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I kind of despise companies like Wilson and the aliens who keep them afloat. I know I shouldn't but.... | |
| Dazed & Confused Short and sweet: I was in love with my old Boston Acoustics T830s for decades. I still respect the hell out of them for natural reproduction of all genres. However, about 3 years ago I replaced them with Canton Ergo 1200DCs. My search is over. Eve... |
