| TEAC NT-505 - How good is it? Anyone try the new Firmware version 1.30? Took me a few minutes to get the settings back to where I wanted them but it sounded good after I did. Briefly played around with the 4 sound settings that they added and settled on #3 as it seemed to ti... | |
| Tracy Chapman - Similar artists & their albums Have a listen to J.S. Ondara Tales of America very similar vibe for sure. Good recent album that I learned about on another forum.I really like the sound on this album as well the double bass and acoustic guitar and vocals come across in a really... | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING The Delos is real fast sounding and not particularly romantic, I can see how some might not like it. I thought it was a ton of fun.That said it's a bugger to get set up properly, if you aren't aligned correctly it'll let you know for sure. The a... | |
| Purchase from Canada State tax plus possible duty and brokerage would apply.Your best bet would be to pony up for the fastest rate of shipping which in my experience nets you the lowest fees and also minimizes the chances of shipping damage. Have the seller mark the ... | |
| Recording to test right and left channels... I always use Take Five by Dave Brubeck you should hear the opening bit with cymbals coming out of the left channel.Always easy to identify. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD Interesting commentary on the LFD NCSE, I have had a MK1 since it was introduced and have had no interest in changing since, it truly got me off the merry go round.My NCSE is driving a pair of 40.2's and does an excellent job at it, I'm sure it co... | |
| BNC Cable is RG6 the best? The Black Cat Silverstar cables do a great job if you need 75ohm BNC. Not cheap but not super expensive either they do a great job, are well constructed and reliable cables.Apogee Wyde Eye are supposed to be very good for word clock if you can fi... | |
| Joni Mitchell, BLUE album is 50 years old, NYT Article I would have a hard time not picking Blue as my all time favourite album.Music from Big Pink is almost interchangeable but Blue is definitely something else. Great sounding album too I have a reissued HQ180 pressing that is dynamite. | |
| why did my record player slow down, speed up, then go back to normal? If the table has a speed control dial it most likely needs to be cleaned with contact cleaner. These are sometimes located underneath the table or some have controls on both the top and bottom that each need to be cleaned to keep consistent speed. | |
| Best dac under $1k Interesting, the Teac NT-505 that I bought a year or so ago has the same AKM chip in it and I enjoy it more than the Chord 2qute and Schitt Yggdrasil that came before it.Seems like a great deal for the price! | |
| Record Jackets and sleeves That's why I really like the Nagaoka N102's they are nice and thin and fit inside the original inner liner and then the jacket without any issue whatsoever. Keeps everything nice and neat.Been using them for years no issues whatsoever great quali... | |
| Are these streams being replaced... node 2i, and PS I saw a social media post from Bluesound saying there was big news coming May 10th my guess was that they were coming out with a full component sized streamer above the Node 2i but who knows could be a replacement too!I'd wait a few days to find o... | |
| Master Clock questions - cable length etc This is what I had read regarding Mutec clocks apparently it's a different deal versus 75 ohm coax with respect to reflections and jitter because it's working with a square wave not a round wave?Mutec suggests the shorter the BNC cable, the better... | |
| Master Clock questions - cable length etc Interesting - placebo effect doesn't usually play into the equation with me I either get closer to the music or I don't and that's all there is to it. I got a great deal on the clock could likely sell it at a profit but it's staying put for sure.... | |
| Chord DACs .. who has moved across to them from R-2R based DACs ? I moved from the:Metrum Octave (NOS)->Chord 2qute (FPGA)->Schitt Yggdrasil (R2R)->Teac NT-505(DAC/Streamer)(OS)The R2R and NOS DACs that I had were definitely more organic sounding versus the Chord which was laser precise and detailed. I... |
