| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ryuichi Sakamoto - Left Handed Dream | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Deep Purple - When we rock, we rock and when we roll, we roll. Picked up a nice used copy for 4 bucks. Allmusic only gave this compilation 2.5 stars, but I think it was mostly because of the goofy name. Sounded great to me! | |
| What's your go-to cheapie cartridge? @tonyptony The Stanton is not a bad cartridge by any means. Everything I've read about it is very positive. I don't have any history on the one I have, it came with a turntable I bought recently, a JVC QL-Y66F direct drive. No idea how many hours ... | |
| Looking for a portable player-decent but not crazy $$ I don't have a specific recommendation as I am not into portable audio, other than to check out Massdrop, they have a lot of drops for DAPs and a lot of reviews and comments. You might try Headfonia also - https://www.headfonia.com/best-portable-... | |
| What's your go-to cheapie cartridge? I just mounted my old Shure M97xE with JICO SAS stylus on my "new" JVC QL-Y66F and it sounds great! It came with a Stanton 981HZS cartridge, which was nice sounding also, but it seemed to be more sensitive to airborne vibration and was less forgi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Picked up a nice used copy of Toys in the Attic at the record store this afternoon, along with a few other things. | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations @gdnrbob I wasn't referring to you specifically, just making a generalization. I'm also a photographer, and the same thing happens when someone decides to take up that hobby.Q "What camera should I buy?"A "Nikon/Canon/Sony/etc. (whatever I own) i... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations People get too caught up on brands in these kind of threads. I mentioned Rythmik, but I also have Power Sound Audio and SVS and have owned HSU and others. There are a number of other brands I'd be happy to own.What's more important is getting th... | |
| I give up on new vinyl Check out the Steve Hoffman forums, lots of discussions about "best" vinyl pressings, cd versions, etc. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Still listening to the new Tom Petty collection. Great selection of songs, excellent sound quality. Also more than a few intense emotions listening to his great songwriting and performing and recognizing what a great talent we lost, as well as t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Gotta love Montrose! The first album with Sammy Hagar is one of my all time favorites. | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations I like Rythmik's servo designs. They have a wide range of models for different budgets and needs. Two (or more) subs are usually better than one, but you can definitely improve your listening experience with a single sub. | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? @audiokinesis Let's remember also that the Heresy is a sealed design and has no ports to help out with bass extension. I'm not sure if mr. horn is just trolling, but many people prefer monitors much smaller than the Heresy with the same or less b... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Just listened to Weezer's Black Album (liked it a lot!), now I'm playing Tom Petty - The Best of Everything (Tidal). | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ummagumma |
