| Cartridge Recommendation for VPI Prime There is a lot of discussion about this subject on the VPI Forum, too which a Google search will lead you. | |
| Importance of power cable for Turntable? @nyev, remember, the difference heard between two power cords (or any other component) is highly dependent on the resolving power and transparency of the entire system. Folkfreak's comments should be considered in light of the fact that his system... | |
| Need your LP purchase assistance @tomic601, I have to warn you that though the ARK recordings are very special (the inner detail---you can distinctly hear each voice in the choir---and transparency captured by Fulton, along with the sound of the church pipe organs, is stunning), ... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Ay carumba! Does it really need to be stated that a, say, CD player (or amplifier) does NOT make sound by "vibrating"? Sure, like a turntable, it has a mechanical component (the CD spinner), followed by lots of electronics. If those electronic cir... | |
| Need your LP purchase assistance IMO the first LP anyone should buy is any ol’ direct-to-disk. Not for the musical content (many of them are not good in that regard), but because of their INCREDIBLE sound quality! On the other hand, doing so will set the bar so high that most oth... | |
| Best mid-range for $3K Oops, the MG3.7 is actually 24" wide, not 18". | |
| Best mid-range for $3K Though not a very well known and/or popular/trendy loudspeaker (few dealers and fewer reviews, though there was a rave by Robert Greene in TAS a couple of years back and Harry Weisfeld enthusiastically recommended them to the readers of his VPI Fo... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz Raul, I was not addressing the issue of which format is superior, but rather those of who is buying LP's and if they really are being bought more than are CD's. If Music Millennium is any indicator, the answers are all age groups and yes. | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz In line waiting to get into Music Millennium on Record Store Day, I saw all age groups represented, from the man-bun (what a hideous "look" ;-) and bearded 20-something year old dudes (they’re everywhere in Portland), lots of girls and women, midd... | |
| How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb? You old HEA losers are living in the past, man. The New Paradigm hipster knows the lighting industry took a wrong turn in the early-90’s, and that one’s lighting fixtures---and the Class D bulbs that are installed in them---must now be the new low... | |
| Great guitar 'breaks" (as opposed to solos). @dweller, oh man, Jerry Douglas is one of my favorite musicians, ever! I've seen him with Alison Krauss (the two made a baby together ;-), and went to see him last time he came through Portland. Fantastic!@whart, I first saw Kirchen live when Comm... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I saw Lucinda on that original "CWOAGR" tour (at The Wiltern Theater, I believe), and it was then I realized I would never again be able to see her in a small room again. My girlfriend and I always went out to see her play around L.A. at the time ... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers So @tjbhuler, when you play a recording in which the bassist, guitarist, and pianist are playing a song in the key of G flat, you can "tune" your MGA Tunable REV 6 signature speakers so as to make the song F sharp? (warning: it’s a trick question ... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? @vinylfan62, actually, I have bi-amped, in the past (first time in 1972) and currently. It's nice that your Bedini 25/25 (I ran one for years with my old QUAD ESL's) and 100/100 work great for you (knowing Bedini, they probably have the same gain)... | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far Fans of Magnepan are buzzing about the debut of the LRS (Little Ribbon Speaker), $650/pair! If you have 3' to put behind each panel, there is no reason to settle a box speaker. All quasi-ribbon drivers mounted on a flat panel (no box resonances to... |
