| Digital with same soundstage as analog @vette5451 , in many cases, no. The analogue master will be different from much of what you would hear via streaming or a newer CD remaster (SACD will generally not be the same as analogue, no). The music master will matter more than streamer vs. ... | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? @noromance good call. I bought one of those SpinClean units back when they released the clear version. Maybe a dozen or more years ago? It was nuts to watch it turn water + old record into chocolate milk… I still wonder if it was a pre-programmed ... | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? noromance 9,275 posts 03-15-2024 at 04:08am Isn't tap water anathema? Record Spindle Spinner @noromance that’s a fair query. Could be viewed that way, at least in hard water districts. If properly dried after a blast of water, I for one e... | |
| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? grislybutter 2,064 posts 03-15-2024 at 12:36am @benanders the spindle spinner site is down. For $175 I found it a very costly deal compared to actual "standalone" mess and sink-free and vacuuming record cleaner @grislybutter and @luk... | |

| SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first? @lukasread I’ll suggest a different route to consider, if not now then at some point, given you said you have a background in music engineering and an interest in vinyl. This route would have you listening to your music in other ways, rather than ... | |
| FYI - QOBUZ SERVICES WILL BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE I bet a higher end streamer would solve this problem. 😉 …I also bet I shouldn’t quit my day job. | |
| Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @erik_squires thanks, good item to bird dog! But for now I’ll just stick with my springy, slightly detached double socket, telling myself it imparts the same suite of benefits the Townshend socket isolator that hasn’t been invented would impart o... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? tomcy6 2,526 posts 03-13-2024 at 12:00pm @benanders, You may not have noticed, but digital streaming is now making up about 85% of record company revenues. That may have something to do with the decline of cd sales. Hi @tomcy6 not sur... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? Vinyl will never, ever, ever be as quiet as CD’s. However, vinyl can easily sound as quiet as CD’s given sufficient QC (no need for 180 / 200 gram for this) and proper use. Biggest factors should be playback volume and whether or not you grew up... | |
| Throw it out! No one mentioned it, but unloading the vinyl onto a resale outlet that’ll take it can result in someone finding something they like even if the quality is poor. But melting records in the presence of children… Some teaching license regions must ... | |
| The time has come and I request advice... ghdprentice 6,193 posts 03-12-2024 at 01:52am ... I have experienced generations of operating systems, hardware, and dozens and dozens of software suites and hundreds of single purpose software products. Software like Roon has a very limited ... | |
| Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait? The level of vibrant speculation from some folks about this is somethin else. Express shippers like FedEx can receive and forward inspection notices because of the backlogs they generally cause. It doesn’t seem suspect in and of itself. As some m... | |
| The time has come and I request advice... ghdprentice 6,188 posts 03-11-2024 at 09:09am +1 Aurender. Seems honest opinion. Okay. I would not go the Roon route, costs, adds complications, not much of a long term future. Aurender Conductor app is well regarded. It is improv... | |
| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey @upward_bound REL’s designer advocates a relatively low crossover point for their subs, correct? This might be relevant to the bookshelf model you select, if you are determined to pair them with a specific model of subwoofer. From your OP I can’t... |
