| Quality of MP3 to .WAV Conversion Wav will not put back what compression (Mp3) took away. I can't really see how it could sound better. Have you tried lossless, ie Flac? | |
| Upgrade Denon 103 R to Shelter 501 II? Patrick wroteThe only problem with the low price is that people constantly underestimate the value of the partnering equipment. The Denon wants a high-mass, heavy-duty arm with high-quality bearings to drive its stiff, short cantilever and compara... | |
| Upgrade Denon 103 R to Shelter 501 II? Wow - makes me wonder if something was wrong with my Denon! If the Denon is really that good, why do't they raise the price to an appropriate level? Do ya think that Denon has no one with ears that can hear its superior quality, or marketers to se... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Vinyl wins here. I have no ceedees that sound better than vinyl. I have some that sound as good. It has been this way since I stepped up to a good turntable. When I first got back into vinyl, I had a Dual TT. There were ceedees that sounded better... | |
| I could not believe it T Bone, You are right about the archives at VA. There still are a few very knowledgable posters there, but the amount of background noise there now makes it hard for me to trust a lot of what is said there anymoreIt may be a good resource if Sorlo... | |
| I could not believe it Check out the Vinyl Asylum over on AudioAsylum.com for more comments/opinions on tables, arms, carts, and combinations thereof. There is a strong tilt to discovering new ways to get great vinyl playback for not a lot of bucks there. I'm not sure I... | |
| Denon 103R or 304? For $30 you get an eliptical or fine line stylus, vs the conical on the 103. Also, the 304 will have better compliance with your arm as pointed out. From my research, the 304 seems a little more analytical. However, there is not much info on the 3... | |
| Shelter 901 with VPI JMW9 Signature Dolifant, It sounds like you are on the right track. I have a Dyna 20 xl on my Scoutmaster at the time. I put it on right after getting the SM and chose it because it was a good match at the cost. I got it at a great price also, but am looking for... | |
| Shelter 901 with VPI JMW9 Signature hi Dolifant. It is interesting that you had troubles with the Blackbird. From my research that is supposedly a very good match for that arm/table combo. Certainly the 901 is a step up from the Blackbird. But it is also double the cost or close to ... | |
| Best phono preamp for Dynavector 20XL Wright PP 100 with K&K tranny is what I use. The Wright is ridiculously good and can be had for $845. It will be very hard to beat at twice the amount paid. The K&K also gets good reviews. Mine is 10x ratio. | |
| What to expect? I'm not familiar with your equipment, But I can tell you that if you don't like the vinyl "ritual", you won't like vinyl. Vinyl demands work. You gotta keep 'em clean, keep the stylus clean, put 'em back in the sleeve without touching the grooves.... | |
| Phono stage upgrade Wright WPP 100 or 200 if you can find a used one. Hard to find used because most people keep them. I think they are $825, new | |

| Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7 Thanks Bombaywalla. I do not have the knowledge to do the calcs. yet but certainly appreciate your time. I was hoping to hear from someone who had actually tried this combo. However I also understand the idea that most people would probably not pu... | |
| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? Dr Joe. My cdp has a standby mode. The main power switch is in the back. I believe the idea is to keep the DAC's warm. My preamp also has no on/off switch. And I do leave my amp turned on. |
