| Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear I have the previous version of the Sennheiser - the HD800 (no S) and Focal Elex (a notch below Clear). I have also heard the Utopia, but not the Clear. The HD800s is supposed to be tuned a little "warmer" than the HD800, so will be a little dif... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @boxer12 I have the 45 RPM MFSL of American Beauty. I haven't listened for a while to say how it compares to the one I picked up. I am pretty sure it's a test pressing. I found one that looks similar for Aja. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I didn't see it on discogs. It looks like this DSOTM test pressing https://www.popsike.com/MFSL-1017-PINK-FLOYD-SAMPLE-RECORD-TEST-PRESSING-JVC-DARK-SIDE-OF-THE-MOON/154280165779.html | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Grateful Dead - American Beauty. Not sure about the provenance of this one. It's in a plain white sleeve with a MFSL number and stamped "sample not for sale". The vinyl has a plain label stamped with JVC. A promo? Test pressing? It sounds fantasti... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I am leaning more towards replacing the tonearm cable and / or experimenting with damping fluid since for the most part the speakers only sound bright when I play vinyl. It's a jelco 750d with a jelco cable. | |
| Denon DL-103 retipped with micro ridge stylus on boron cantilever & denuded body I bought a turntable with a Zu Denon DL-103. It sounded horrible. I almost threw the cartridge away but decided to send it to Andy to see if he could do anything with it. He cleaned a bunch of gunk out of the body and retipped it with a micro ridg... | |
| 180g new vs. NM used It depends. The Steve Hoffman forums are a good resource, for the most part. You can also look up the pressing on Discogs and see what kind of rating a particular pressing has and if there are any comments about it. This can be less helpful, ... | |

| Thiel Owners @vair68robert My Sota doesn't have the vacuum hold down. Maybe someday. I use Sota's reflex clamp, which is good, but not as good as holding down the edges of the record. Prior to the Sota I had a VPI Classic 2 and their periphery ring. I init... | |

| Thiel Owners @vair68robert A lot of vinyl sounds really good with the Thiels, and I do listen to mostly "classic rock". I have two turntables in my main system, a Sota Sapphire and a Technics SL 1200 MK2. The same record that sounds bright on the Sapphire wi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tgilb Nils sounded great last night! I only made it through the first disc, hopefully I'll play the second one tonight. I've been going through my collection and play grading everything that I don't already have catalogued in Discogs and am sti... |
