| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers With 10,000 bucks, which you make reference to, you could and should sell both the Hagel and the Linns and buy yourself a pair of either the Tannoy Cheviots or even the Ardens. They will certainly fill that space. Pair the Tannoys with either a Su... | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... With 5k and all in, like another poster indicated, it will not cover everything needed at that budget. You will need, as mentioned, a phono preamp, a tonearm, a cartridge, and let’s not forget a nice pair of phono cables. I would suggest at your 5... | |
| First CD player help! Marantz 6007..... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II A moving coil is generally loaded 10 times it’s impedance. The Hana EL for instance has an impedance of 30 ohms, so 300 would be a good place to start. Hana recommends loading the EL @ 400 ohms or greater. I own it and i run it with a Jensen SUT w... | |
| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? I’ve got the technics mk7, pretty similar to the GR, albeit less weight. Same tonearm, but platter is also less in weight compared to the GR. Otherwise, it is the same turntable at $699 less. The buttons feel a bit plastic, because they are plasti... | |
| Will a wireless streamer add problems to a signal coming out of a computers USB output? Not sure, but I do know that mine interferes with my tubed phono preamp, as it sits about a foot away. I tend to just unplug the streamer and that solves the issue. I’d move it further away, but I like where it is for convenience and the fact that... | |
| Hi Fi news test LP destroying my Apheta 3 cartridge + another cheap cartridge (another TT) Analogue Seduction has been awesome to deal with, been buying from them for years. What is it that you are trying to test with a test record? Is it really even needed? Never used one. I set all my stuff up using a USB microscope, works fine for me. | |
| The magic of outdoor listening Pyle bluetooth outdoor speakers outside on deck under the eves...good enough for me. Rock speakers out back near woodline and gazebo. I would not say they compate in any way to a good indoor sound system, not even close. The room reinforces the so... | |
| Vintage Tuner-Only wonderful because it's the SOUND I grew up with?..... @jbhiller https://www.ebay.com/itm/134070051968?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lVNOPTpgQqG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=DsW_0bRwTTC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? Some believe source matters most (Linn), others say it’s the speakers where the money should be spent. I spent the most on my speakers, about $5500 (also own 2 other pairs @ $449 & $899, both sound terrific for the price), next came the integr... | |
| Vintage Tuner-Only wonderful because it's the SOUND I grew up with?..... I love my Cambridge audio t500 tuner. I have it hooked up to an aerial antenna, a Winegard, mounted in the attic. I pull in station 50 miles away. It’s fun late at night surfing the dial. The t500 has a conventional knob used for tuning, so it pro... | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system @saulh yes, it does seem to be a pain in the butt to change out the tubes on the DS2, as there is not much of the tube sticking out. However, it does sound rather good as is. The Tavish is very easy to change out the tubes. According to Scott at T... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @flasd I agree, most of these new releases and or pressings are utter garbage.. like you, I have scoured thrift stores, ebay, discogs, etc for original pressings or releases and I’m glad I did. Most of what I walked away with sounds terrific. Yes,... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @adrobitko I don’t think any of those surface scuffs in the pictured lp’s will play or be audible. My bigger issue has been warps, and mostly with the new stuff, and especially when purchases through Amazon. | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @bdp24 Another: The original Tea For The Tillerman LPs were mastered with Dolby noise reduction engaged in the chain. Better not tell this to Tom @ better records! He sells original tea for the tillerman at a pretty hefty price! |
