| Record mishaps I got that from watching a video by Michael Fremmer...he mentions for some unexplained reasons, that a mono record from the 50s and 60s are seemingly less susceptible to damage as far as scratches etc. He could not provide the reason, but coming f... | |
| Record mishaps Ouch! Now that s#cks!! | |
| Record mishaps Lol!!! That'l learn ya....too funny! | |
| How do you sort your LPs? Lol, I don't sort any of them due to laziness. I could not tell you where one record is from another as they are pretty much all over the place but neatly stored if that makes any sense. I probably have several thousand by now and it is too monume... | |
| Record mishaps Hahahahaha, yes I agree! giggidy giggidy....Kidding aside.....still not happy about my clumsiness...it is a pretty rare record, and I guess it proves I’m not gay, lol. | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there Have you thought about thie Sugden class A amps? In particular the signature A21se? It goes well with my tannoys, and considering you are not listening loudly, it could be a very good choice for a reasonable outlay, only $3250. It is all analog wi... | |
| Ellis Marsalis dead from corona virus Wynton Marsalis was my first introduction to jazz. I ended up buying the father's and sons album which of course includes Ellis. A super talented family and a great loss to the music world. | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Chorus, I recommend that you get your hands on a new or used Sugden A21SE class A signature single ended. I’m using it on my Tannoys and it sounds wonderful. $3250 new....30 watts into 8 ohms, 40 into 4 ohms....no bells, no whistles, just 5 line i... | |
| Bare cartridge design, Sumiko Blackbird Low Output Best money I ever spent was on my Hana EL...it tracks everything incredibly well, excellent build quality, a superb stylus protector, and it has alnico magnets! For a measly $475...by the way that stylus protector is an ingenious design as it supp... | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge There is no difference in aligning an elliptical as opposed to a micro line or shibata or what have you, yes. But you will need to spend extra time and care aligning the line contact type stylus than you would with an elliptical. Elliptical stylus... | |
| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? So basically what you have is the best and everyone else owns crap, aye yi yi...if someone thinks something sounds good with their own two ears then to them it is not crap...ears or an ear are like a fingerprint, no two are the same....that’s why ... | |
| Is it all worth it? I agree with two posts up, I enjoy just listening to my FM tuner at times. No fuss, just tune in to my local classical or jazz station. The quality of the both the signal and the content is superb. | |
| Thoughts on choosing an amplifier The wharfedales have positive reviews everywhere I read. They also go well with tube amps. I’ve owned many a wharfedale and they all sounded great. My latest pairing before going to the big time (at least to me) was the diamond 225’s combined with... | |
| I Need Some Opinions... Instead of farting around with tweaks ( not saying you cannot do that later) get right to the chase, just replace blue point with the Hana EL. I had the blue point and replaced it with the EL and it was a world of difference. The Hana is $475. Go ... | |
| What country builds the best audio equipment? The UK, Scotland to be specific...Tannoy, Sugden, & Linn Sondek..... |
