| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass Getting 1 or 2 subs that integrate well with your system after having a boomy sub meant for home theater gives you an appreciation for what subs can actually do for 2 channel stereo. In a small room you can get away with one good sub. | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like I would contend that you're expanding your horizons music-wise as a side effect of having better equipment, but if you enjoy it, that's what it's all about, isn't it? As others have mentioned it can lead you down a rabiit hole where you only list... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... It's not so much a matter of which tt is better; it's very dependent on who you are as a hands-on or hands-off kinda person - anything in your $ range will be acceptable. You say you're old - not all that relevant, unless you are implying you don... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. Let me throw out a few thoughts here. If you’re planning to go to a high end store, your main purpose is to physically be in the room with expensive gear you are possibly interested in and to make your own impressions - if you are there to simply ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I scored a bunch of records at a Goodwill that were in pretty good shape (these were wheeled out from the back and didn't make it to the racks), and I just grabbed the whole lot and am now forcing myself to go through every single one to see if I ... | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Would love to put a 309 on my table but they're getting pretty expensive and scarce. Add in the armboard as well. | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Like to keep my options open - any issue with adding the EPA-100 to the SL-1200mkii? I could take that arm and put it into another table down the line if the mood strikes me, and it would probably be better than any stock Technics arms I replaced... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? The major convenience of going to solid state from tube TV's was that you turned it on and instantly you had a pretty good picture, whereas the tube TV's you turned on and the screen kinda lit up and gradually got brighter and more colorful as eve... | |
| Tonearm adjustments on the fly Yes, too much time and electrons have been wasted on trying to make the SRA/VTA differentiation understandable or pertinent.I've heard/read Michael Fremer and Harry Weisfeld mention that any cartridge - even an expensive one - with a glued-on styl... | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Thanks everyone for their comments/suggestions - even the ones that strayed a bit from the question because it made me think out of the box, and again I apologize again for hosing up the title. Haven't bought anything else yet - was about to pull... | |
| To clean or not to clean... I clean EVERY VINYL, OLD OR NEW before ever playing it - every single time. I clean EVERY VINYL, OLD OR NEW that I can get my hands on, whether it's my record or not. If I go to a friend's house and I see a turntable, I plead with them to let ... | |
| Step by Step How to Use a Digital Multimeter / Oscilloscope for Azimuth Adjustments ---and the Analogmagik kit is $750. | |
| Step by Step How to Use a Digital Multimeter / Oscilloscope for Azimuth Adjustments On YouTube on the VPI channel, Harry did a minor rant ("Chat with Mat & Harry EP-2-4-6-21") complaining about cartridges that glue their styli onto the cantilever as opposed to drilling a hole and inserting the stylus, ensuring that the stylus... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? You can attempt to disregard the "everything matters" argument but it doesn't make it less pertinent, and trying to use price as the only criteria may not be the best way forward when asking "which is more important" (which is not too far removed ... | |
| Economical CD Transport - Thoughts? Originally had an Oppo BDP-103 DVD/CD drive which was OK, but then got a CA dedicated transport and that was much better in clarity and definition. Disclaimer: the CXC V1 I bought was used. Had it for about 2 years until it started getting very ... |
