| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Jeff at Audiomods is a professional machinist, hardly what I would call DIY. I would guess he could get his hands on some Boron Titanium if he so desired. I actually like products made one at a time by an artisan like Jeff. Roger Modjeski of Music... | |
| The Steep Canyon Rangers Walter, I thought the name sounded familiar! What most surprised me was that although they look relatively young, they play the music with a sense of authority, like they’ve been doing it forever. A lot of the Americana bands sound like they were ... | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 @lewm, while that was very true of the old Decca's (greatly benefitting from a damped arm), it is less (though not completely un-) true of current London's. When Art Dudley recently reviewed a budget London in Stereophile, he did so in a Rega 300.... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? I'm dying over here ;-). Geoff correcting and lecturing Ralph Karsten on the nature of electricity. Next thing you know we'll be expected to believe Michael Green understands room acoustics better than Art Noxon. Oh yeah, we already are. | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records @yc25, great list! Have you heard any of Buddy Miller’s albums? He plays guitar/sings harmony/leads Emmylou’s road band. Great singer, in the same league as John Hiatt, though not a songwriter of John’s caliber. Few are! Also a great producer (Ric... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? @glubson, Jeff drills holes in his Audiomods arm tube as part of his efforts to remove the resonances inherent in the stock Rega tube. He also removes the black paint, and adds three internal stiffening discs. He then wires the arm with the custom... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Thanks terry9 and fleschler. | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Who "thinks the Audiomods is better than (the) new Technics tonearms that comes (if it's multiple Technics tonearms, it should be "come") with GAE"? Not me---I said no such thing. Geez, false quotes are becoming really rampant on AudiogoN, aren't ... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? @chakster, I have to agree with you on the looks of the Audomods. All those holes drilled into the arm tube (admittedly for a good reason, and apparently providing a substantial benefit) is quite unsightly, especially in the matte finish-version. ... | |
| Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? @fsonicsmith, dang, you must REALLY like the MC5!Good post, to which I would only add that there is another dynamic at work, only at the high end. Brooks Berdan was (R.I.P.) a SoCal dealer who had a fair percentage of long-term, repeat customers w... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Poor Jeff at Audiomods. He does everything he can to prevent his unique arm from being incorrectly, mistakenly described as a "tweaked Rega", yet some continue to do so. Why? That is akin to describing a custom-designed, hand-built automobile, ont... | |
| Phono cartridge grading All those cartridges, and not a single Decca or London? Ridiculous! ;-)By the way, low frequencies are bass, not base. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Anyone have an opinion yet on the new Kirmuss Audio ultrasonic? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Michael Percy sells a product that HW-19 owners may want to try. It is made by well-known commercial isolation product specialist company EAR, and is named the Isoloss Sandwich Mount. It is intended for use on circuit boards, but the EAR Isoloss m... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! Audio Magazine was great, having both objective and subjective elements. Their technical articles were written by professional designers, and subjective reviews by guys with both ears and brains, Bascom King (now designing at PS Audio) being one. |
