| How Science Got Sound Wrong Thanks for all the input. It had been about a month ago when I first read the article. FWIW, I am not an electronics tech or engineer. I am a music lover who loves to hear it as good as what I can afford. Many of you have given technical reasons... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong @erik_squires This really yanks your crank doesn't it? I knew noting about "Head Related Transfer Functions." etc and actually learned something from the article. He has a PhD and maybe had to write a book. | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question @chakster @pryso Since mine didn't come with a 47K plug I figured that was the default loading. I have it switched to high gain. Again with no problems. FWIW both my wife and I liked it better without loading. Bigger soundstage. The 470ohm plug ... | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question @chakster I thought you also had the JLTi. I was using the 470 ohm plug which came with mine. I also got a 100 ohm with it. So I may be goodI think you have the later JLTi from Australia. I see Mr Rasmussen has "updated" the JLTI. I’ve wondered if... | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question @chakster OK I found my Zyx box and spec sheet. It listed >100 ohm which I assume means over 100. I was using the 470 ohm which came with the phono preamp. So I may not need to make any other plugs after all. Preamp (JLTi) came with 100 &... | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question @millercarbon, I pretty much knew the answer when I asked the question. But I had to ask just to make sure. | |
| sellers trying to sell used product for 10-20% off of list price We have entered an age of marketing in which every seller expects that the buyer will offer them 25%-30% lower than the posted price. So they jack up the price to ridiculous number and when they drop down to a reasonable price the customer is supp... | |
| Who remembers audio from the time when ... When I was 8-10 yrs old I got a $2 allowance. I went directly to the record store and bought 2 45's @ $1 apiece. Got to hear them play before I bought them too. Then home to wear them out with my cheap "record player" I didn't get a decent stereo ... | |
| Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment Im surprised that no one has mentioned the Harmon Kardon Twin Power 730 or its smaller brothers, 430 or 330. I bought one in '78. I recently fired it up and was shocked at how big the sound is. | |
| Phono Preamp I'm not sure the JLTi has to take a back seat to the Herron. The thread which got me looking at the JLTi was a shootout conducted and attended by several other audiophiles, including Jay @ Audio Revelation. They all concluded that the JLTi was th... | |
| Phono Preamp @slimpikins5 has given good advice. Any system is only as good as its weakest link. The phono preamp handles the most delicate signal in the chain. A good phono stage is imperative and will make a big difference. I have a JLTi which is made in Aus... | |
| Need Some Tube Amp Advice Another contender is Bob Latino's VTA Dynaco ST-70. 35wpc uses EL34, 6L6, KT-66, 77, or 88's. Sounds fantastic and inexpensive. I've had mine for 10 yrs and am more impressed with it all the time. | |
| Looking for perspectives I went from a SS CJ 2500A to a Bob Latino Tubed ST-70 amp. I sold the CJ within the month. This is not a put down of the CJ. I love their sound, but the tube amp has a quality which I think is better | |

| New in 2019 Personally, I'd love to see someone take the old R&B which Phil Specter recorded and somehow take all the echo, etc from the recordings. I love the music of Temptation, Smokey Robinson,& the Miracles, etc but the wall of sound only sounds ... |
