| Cable curmudgeon Well my Audioquest non- overpriced cables use solid copper conductors, they sound terrific. They do not seem to add or omit anything. A clear bargain in hifi. I could compile quite a long list of "bargain" hifi....you don't necessarily have to s... | |
| RCA Living Stereo I own many RCA Living Stereo recordings, and I agree, some sound spectacular. I found a crap load in decent condition at a record store near where I work. I think I bought like 15 of them in one shot there, paying on average $3.99 per Lp. Others I... | |
| 2 channel DSP? What is and why would anyone need dsp....unless your room sucks beyond belief...In my 40 years of doing this, I’ve never felt the need or desire to use any of this stuff, same goes for a sub...well there is one present where it belongs, in My thea... | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? Because those are the prices, and they ain’t coming down....I can guarantee you that....they will charge what people are willing to pay. | |
| Tannoy cheviot vs Arden what should I expect from each? If you can fit them, I’d go Ardens....the bass I bet is phenomenal on them. If either sounds like my Eatons, which I’m sure they are much better, then you are in for a treat. The pepper pot tweeter/concentric driver with the Alnico magnets would ... | |
| Fyne Audio - New Speakers Displayed in Munich Funny, they look just like Tannoy....I understand some from Fyne are from Tannoy, but I mean kind of ripping off the brand, jmo. | |
| Need new headphone setup. @headphonedreams Are you finding that the Amirons sound sibilant on vocals, sharp sssss? Was considering these, but some reviews say they are too sharp, unless maybe used with a tubed headphone Amp such as the Darkvoice. | |
| Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma? Some will never be content. There is no "perfect" system. Then again, perfection is very subjective. Blown way way too much money on this supposed hobby or whatever it is. I've learned to be content, for the most part, with what I got. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Bobbie Gentry, Ode to Billie Joe., just picked up a sealed original capital Stereo copy. Also grabbed a sealed Gordon Lightfoot Cold on the shoulder LP. | |
| What is this term 'analytical' ? Too sterile. also, boring with no character....you want/need some warmth to make it more enjoyable over the long term. Too bright can be characterized as fatiguing and full of sharp ssss’s... That’s just my opinion. Musical in my book is if your t... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps @lewm OK, well it works for me,, both sides, to a degree.... Like I said,, it does NOT eliminate the warp, however it does allow you to play the record, rather than trashing it it also reduces the amount of vertical movement of the tonearm. Try it... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps You can place a thin felt washer on the spindle prior to placing the record on the platter. Then, using a record clamp, such as the one from the Record Dr., gently clamp down the record until the warp is diminished. It will not totally get rid of ... | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! Chord Clear way makes a very nice digital coaxial cable. | |
| which is a better speaker There are tons of speakers as well as reviews of same. Just decide what you want, stand mount or floor standing, then read lots of reviews about them and narrow the field to a few. Then go listen if possible. If not possible, trust the reviews if ... | |
