| Biggest audio hoaxes @hilde45 Love Star Trek. Watched it when I was a teenager. Kind of lost track of their newest stuff though. | |
| New turntable: please help with cartridge selection: Ortofon vs Lyra vs Charisma vs Hana I went from Benz Ebony L to the Zyx 4D. Fantastic move. The Benz was no slouch at all But the 4d is better. Mstp is $4.5k but you can get it cheaper. You will not find a Universe for under$5k unless used. Check Sorasound | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading Well,@atmasphere, you have answered another question I had about whether loading is actually a band aid. Seems to be a natural progression. However I suppose it could also be an option for the customer who needs to tame their systems tendency towa... | |
| Interesting thought Too much background noise for audiophile type listening. No one wants to go to a bar / club and sit quietly. Live music is a better draw. Considering that most bands are running through the PA system now, the house could put together a very good s... | |
| Lack of Female Representation It used to be know that men and women are different. They have different interests, motivation and priorities. Somehow equality became corrupted by the idea of sameness. But We aren’t the same. I'm glad | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? @jetter In all my years here I don’t remember anyone else requesting that another member be "banned". I have called out at least one poster who called for Mc’s removal. And I have seen othersFwiw I don’t like anyone removed because of someone’s d... | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? To the original questionI do not see this as a hobby. for me it is a lifestyle. I have enjoyed music and bought my 1st record at about 8 yrs old. (62 yrs ago) I play music, (drums & vocals) as well and have since early teens. My musical system... | |
| Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? @rja I want to hear music emanating from the primordial ooze....... Here ya go. Ooze? Maybe not. But I wasn’t there to observe. EnjoyHiggs Boson GOD Particle EXPLAINED - Bing video FWIW, The largest book of the Bible is also music. Psalms. Right a... | |
| Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F I think so. CAD has been extremely helpful. Simulation can be done much quicker today. Computers have opened up possibilities which didn't exist 30 yrs ago. All that said, I'm not sure if they work for us, or we them.IMO there is Far too much depe... | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading Thanks @atmasphere Much appreciated | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading @chakster I talked to Joe Rasmussen about a month ago about having the upgrade done. He says that the Mark 5 is a Big improvement over the 4. Quoting Joe, " JLTi Phono was never meant to competewith our more expensive VSE FVP and SVP full Phono/L... | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading They are out of production, so your only option now is to find a used one. Thanks @ big_gregI have heard nothing but good about the Herron. BTW, is a new one on the drawing board for Keith? I emailed that ? to him but have no reply. | |
| Custom plinth I’m with mijostyn on this. Veneer is not worth the effort. My ply has a 1/3" slab of solid walnut on top and the sides are 1/2" solid maple.I am not a fan of veneer as thin as that used on the project. However Veneer has been used for 150 yrs that... | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading Thanks @vinylzone. I appreciate the info on the Herron | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading @I have the 4th version. I have loading plugs but don't use them anymore. I talked to Joe about sending it to him for updates. Very reasonable to get that done. That will probably be the path I take.I remember the shootout with the JLTi and other ... |
