| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Johnnyb53: Thanks for the tip on the AT Mono3/LP. I got mine from Japan last week and am very happy with it. Really sounds like a more expensive cartridge and I only have about 10 hours on it so far.I did compare it with using a stereo cartridg... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Audio_GroupMelbaguy1. Where did you hear that Luxman was PRC owned and manufactured? Important to me since I am about to buy a Luxman amp! It seemed to me that when I was researching the brand that they ... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx Melbaguy1: Check your facts. Luxman is owned by the IAG Group based in England. Ownership of IAG is by two Taiwanese brothers, Bernard and Michael Chang. IAG also owns Quad and Wharfdale I believe.Some manufacturing of lower end products is done i... | |
| LS50 and Big Fat Dots I used these under my Spendor 3/5 on the top of a shelf. Gave me a slightly clearer sound and tightened up the bass. I had experimented with other things like brick and stone slabs but these were the best.Eventually bought some Skylan stands and t... | |
| Upgrading - what amp to choose Used Luxman 505 or new 550 ordered from Japan. | |
| Luxman Class A Integrated Slight Buzzing Noise Deedo: I would be very interested in hearing the response from Luxman regarding your problem.Thanks! | |
| Which integrated tube amp to go with which speaker Personally, I would go with the Luxman and the Harbeths, especially if you play a lot of vinyl. | |
| Retipping Miyajima mono cartridge Probably of no concern to the OP but a line contact stylus can damage records pressed on styrene. Many mono LPs and 45s from the 50s and 60s are styrene. I would rather have an "all rounder" conical, personally. | |
| best recorded 78rpm to look for, also cartridge... One of the best periods for 78s is 1928 to 1934. Especially OKeh, Columbia and some Victors. After that, records got cheaper and quality went down. Look out for the Blue Wax Columbias! It is worth investing in a good stylus for 78s. With a little ... | |
| What is your preference, Records or CDs? I never understood the attraction of CDs. They only have the music on one side. How is that any improvement over an LP?Seriously, vinyl is an archival medium. A century from now, you will still be able to play a record. (If you live that long!) Do... | |
| Anyone enjoy their amp's sound more than music? Reminds me of the Jimi Hendrix quote: "I don't play guitar, I play amplifier". | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore What is a rocket surgeon? | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Didn't mean to get political and stir up bad feelings. It was really more of a visceral reaction. I have nothing against people supporting the Republican party. I just don't like Glenn Beck. Lots of people don't. He was fired from his show on Fox ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore GLEN BECK? I was seriously interested in these speakers but hearing that the company owner is a fan boy of Glen Beck who sent him a pair as a gift kind of puts me off buying them.Usually a mistake to mix politics and business these days. I would b... | |
| Just how good is the Technics SL-1200? Elizabeth: Nine responses, not one from a "fan boy" stating the Technics SL-1200 is the second coming. I find your patronizing attitude rather arrogant. I own a KAB modified one. I am a record collector and for my needs it is an excellent table. I... |
