| Stereo Vs. Mono Ntscdan, nothing wrong with your observation. I have a number of mono recordings that are superior to stereo. In fact, there were more than a few early stereo releases recorded in mono format, then "electronically enhanced" to simulate stereo. The... | |
| Am I nuts or what? The original digital studio masters probably sound very good, possibly even wonderful.When an original high bit rate digital master is converted directly to analog, the LP format renders the data very well. When that same digital master is mixed s... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Here is a progress report for all that have participated.I contacted Hubbell about two weeks ago and ask about the variation in specifications for the 8300HI (20 amp Hospital grade, Ivory color). I have samples of three versions, each have high qu... | |
| Dirt on my stylus.....what to do? Rwd. The Record Research fluid I sent to you works just like Disc Doctor only better, in my opinion. I have not used the Orbitrac. I use the VPI brush, scrubbing as the VPI machine rotates the LP. Then vacuum dry. With the RR fluid, the distilled ... | |
| need help with vinyl Worn and abused LP's reveal noise of a less than perfect turntable set up, whereas new records don't require that precision to play perfectly. I've purchased LP's for fifty cents at used book stores that are as quiet as new virgin vinyl Classic Re... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 This is now officially closed, please do not send any more payments.If there are enough people, maybe there can be a round two. For now I must get the local distributor to fill the order based on today's order count and ship them off for treatment... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Slipknot, if only more art directors would look at my images the way you do. I sincerely appreciate your kind remarks, you literally made my day. | |
| Going SACD or analog? The postings following mine say everything that needs to be said about the performance and value of LP. It is clear that many others at this site, who like me, own both digital and analog find the LP a superior format. My comments to iloxi@att.net... | |
| Sound Lab M1 vs Magnepan 3.6 Judit, if you are anywhere near me, you are welcome to sit in with my group and listen to my Soundlab U-1 speakers. Others in my group have Maggie 3.6, Maggie 20.1, Soundlab A3, and three pairs of Soundlab A1's. Currently, also possible to compare... | |
| Going SACD or analog? Pbb it's a shame that you never had a decent record playing rig. Either that or you have a personal problem about analog.I don't think there has ever been a thread at Audiogon where you don't go ballistic complaining about noise and problems with ... | |
| CES Rookie Jeff, I have gone to CES almost every year for the last 20 years. I go for 4 days and usually upon returning home, am told I missed something important.If you are primarily interested in two channel, I would limit my visit exclusively to "THE SHOW... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 I will email both Eric (Mephisto) and Tomryan with information and let them decide if there is time. Please understand that the cut off date was announced here at Audiogon as Halloween. This is to be fair to all those who have paid their money and... | |
| My Next Miles Davis Disc? The closest album musically to Miles "Kind of Blue" period of work is "Ascenseur pour L'echafaud." (Lift to the Scaffold).It's an obscure move sound track on Fontana label, recorded in 1957 in Paris France. I have it on both LP and CD but cannot t... | |
| Review: Lindemann D680 CD Player It was the original (now discontinued) CEC-TL1 and Audio Note DAC3.1. | |
| Review: Lindemann D680 CD Player Good response Norm. No, just a test in prep for a review. I would love to buy something like the Lindemann or the Audio Aero, but hesitate to invest when I have so much tied up in analog.I guess if the Lindemann blew me away I would have to rethin... |
