| Whats on your turntable tonight? Not the best recording, but I love King Crimson, "Discipline" from early 80s. Heard it in my car and had to go home and play the LP. | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? 03-05-13: KbuzzForgot to add. Anyone know where you can get a cheap 2-5 inch monitor with one rca jack to use as a "display" for this thing.I did that exact thing with the McCormack player when I had it. I found a cheap 7" LCD one. I'm not using i... | |
| Rebuilt Ortofon A90? I would absolutely trust Ortofon to do the rebuild to perfection. If you are not satisfied they would make it right.Ortofon was building cartridges before many here at Audiogon were born. I respect them even if some of their product is not my taste. | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? Thanks for the link Chayro.03-12-13: Sarcher30A bright treble in most cases is really just distorted treble. If the system is capable of playing the treble clean then you can have a lively top end without fatigue.Absolutely true. | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? I think the way to judge a speaker, any speaker, is to listen to classical live in a great venue (without amplification of course) and see how close you get.It's amazing how beautiful the top end of the spectrum is with live. Perhaps this changes ... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? This is a good forum, pleased to read there are so many members like me.I go to lots of audio shows and have for many, many years. I would say 90% of what IÂve heard is bright to the point of irritation.Some are so bad I can hardly enter the room... | |
| AXPONA anyone? I wish I were going, I would love to attend. I miss the old CES shows in Chicago, what a blast they were.Did I mention that and I love Chicago food, especially the Italian?Back in those days at CES there was a bar near the show hotel that had over... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Clarification of my post (above). I bought the Ultimate Analog Test LP for the Fozgometer and found track 10 worked with the Feickert iPhone App. Both it and Feickert test disc have the steady state 3150 HZ test tone. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy So what are the issues with this method?I kept hopping someone else would chime in. I have the Feickert App and the Feickert LP but also have the new Quality LP from Chad (Ultimate Analog Test LP, track 10) that both work with Fozgometer.Test resu... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm 02-14-13: Ct0517Hi Richard, Albert Porter, Bill Thalmann I came across your new website today. As a hobbyist with no affiliation to any of you - congrats on the new site and good luck. Thanks Ct0517, but I have nothing to do with the upgrades or t... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Albert, Could it be the Galaxy, or was that a 58 Ford?:^) or the Comet ? | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge "The Planets"Later they found "The Planets" had a "Universal" appeal and changed the name.So creative, It inspired an album by Gustav Holst 94 years before it was released. | |
| European Vibraplane? We discuss all the exotic options when most have their turntable sitting on spikes on a wobbly stand.A single Vibraplane is a miracle under a turntable and very cost effective. Four Stillpoints Ultras is $900.00. You can purchase a used Vibraplane... | |
| European Vibraplane? I have not heard that model but it's design is similar to Vibraplane. It should work wonders with your audio components, especially if you need to isolate a turntable.In short, I would have no concerns purchasing it, especially if you have some gu... | |
| European Vibraplane? I would not be concerned with the small difference in resonant frequency. I see the Thor is priced in USD. You say EU analog of Vibraplane, is the Thor available where you live for a great price? I notice they have a web link to distributors so pe... |
