| 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 | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? Klipsch are what got me "serious" about this hobby. I've always had stereos, turntables, etc. since I was a teenager, but nothing of "audiophile" quality and as my finances allowed I focused more on home theater than 2 channel audio.I was at a lo... | |
| Qobuz Windows App I cancelled my trial. I'll give it another try in the future perhaps. Besides the performance of the app, I miss the "daily mix" and "my mix" playlists that Spotify and Tidal create. Both do a nice job of putting together music I enjoy while pl... | |
| Tubes vs SS preamp question.... I have tubes all the way - Rogue Audio M180 amps, Modwright LS 100 preamp, and Manley Chinook phono pre with Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 speakers. Definitely not too much of a good thing (to me), but none of those components have a strong "tubey" so... | |
| What's your go-to cheapie cartridge? A little north of your limit on price, but the Denon DL-301MK2 is a bargain at $400. I bought my last one for a lot less when Comet Supply was still selling them. |
