| Just wanted to share that I got a new reviewing gig with Six Moons.com website Nice review of the Orchid. I can't disagree with any of what he wrote, I love mine! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 It's nice to have friends like that! I also have a Radio Shack LAB440 direct drive fully automatic turntable that is surprisingly good. | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? I just picked up the clear vinyl 180 gram version of Beggar's Banquet and it sounds really good, better than the older London versions I have. | |
| Non-Oversampling (NOS) vs, I only have one NOS DAC, a MHDT Labs Orchid. I'm listening to Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here with it as I type this and it sounds glorious. Out of the many DACs I have, it's the one I chose for the system I listen to with headphones most office. ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A nice German pressing of Genesis Abacab and Black Sabbath S/T | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw The RPM9 is a "better" table, but I never made an emotional connection with it, which probably sounds dumb, but whatever. The RPM9 is very similar to my Music Hall MMF 7.1 - same motor, same decoupled design, same tonearm. The big differe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw the JVC QL-Y66F is an 80's vintage fully automatic direct drive turntable. It has a really nice looking rosewood base with a large 14" platter. When I got it, I couldn't turn it up very loud or it would start to hum from airborne vibratio... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw right now my main rig is a JVC ql-y66f with a Kiseki Blue cartridge. Phono stage is a Manley Chinook. | |
| Turntable question That sounds like a good deal for the SL1200GR. You don't "need" a preamp, but a decent preamp will provide a noticeable improvement over the Marantz. I've owned the Marantz AV8801 and AV7704. They sound better than a lot of AVPs, but a good dedi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I set up my Project RPM9 table with the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood cartridge for a demo to a potential buyer tomorrow. Playing Queen - A Night at the Opera, sounds great! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? How goes it @slaw? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joan Jett - I love rock & roll | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Listening to Linda Rondstadt - Heart Like a Wheel - Hi Res on Qobuz while I work. | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Sound Good??? I bought some BJC Belden 5T00UP Speaker Cables and thought they sounded fine in the system I had them in. Having said that, I don't think I'm very sensitive to cable changes in general. I have used MIT "Music Hose", Transparent, Verastarr, Analy... | |
| Turntable question Not knowing which "Marantz AV" you have, it's hard to say for sure, but that is probably going to be a bottleneck in your system in terms of getting the best sound quality from a turntable. I would suggest spending less on the turntable and cartr... |
