| Welcome to Headphones "Best" is subjective and depends a lot on the individual's tastes. Do you want a loot of bass? Detailed highs? Midrange emphasis? Most headphones are tuned To excel in one or more of these areas, but often not all. How important is comfort? Not s... | |
| Which Harbeth would work in my room? The Super HL5 Plus should work well in that size room. My room is about 24 X 20. Since it is a "living" room with an odd shape, placement is less than ideal, about 2 1/2 feet from the front wall, about 4 feet from sidewalls, and about 9 feet fro... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I don't use the office turntable much... listening to Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Blvd. this afternoon. | |
| Tube MC phono stage recommendation You can find used Manley Chinook phone stages for around your budget. Excellent phono stage. | |
| Question about TT Power Connections Following up on my previous post, I'm not sure you'd need a speed box with the 7.3. I think that speed control may be built into that motor. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Happy Birthday Reuben, enjoy your presents to yourself! | |
| Question about TT Power Connections I have a Music Hall 7.1 and it's probably the best turntable I have. I've seen and heard the Ultradeck and if I were in the market for a new table, would give it strong consideration. Rather than worry about the wall wart, what you should be muc... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Uber, I've read a lot about the Nagaoka carts and you're not the only one reporting hundreds of hours with no ill results. That's a good deal! I think I paid about $650 for mine, that was 5 years ago. Now that I think about it, I probably have ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Who - It's HardLOL @tomic | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? About to derail our wonderful music appreciation thread, I do like the MP 500, but I think it is a little bit overpriced, or perhaps maybe a better way to say it would be that there are other cartridges that are as good or better at that price poi... | |
| Two Nice Small Tweaks to Klipsch Forte III Loudspeakers A Subdude doesn't create any space under the speaker. Shouldn't cause any harm. Every Harbeth stand that I remember seeing is open underneath the speaker. | |
| MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side If LOMC is an option, I'd also consider the Denon DL-301 MKII if you can find one. I recently bought one on ebay for $250. It's what's currently on my SL1200 MK 2. Sounds great with all types of music. | |
| MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side I have a Nagaoka MP-500 (out of the OP's budget) and it is one of the better cartridges I own, compares nicely to some of my MC carts. A little on the "warm" side (which I like) and nice extension throughout the frequency range. When I bought my... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Jimi Hendrix - Songs For Groovy Children: The Fillmore East Concerts, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| CD Player vs. music streaming That's the great thing about streaming, it dramatically expands access to music. I tried the Pangea power cord and didn't hear a noticeable difference. YMMV |
