| Sound right before song begins on vinyl, what is it? I'm going to have to pay more attention the next time I hear this phenomenon to measure the duration etc. It makes the most sense to me to think that this is a tape related problem. I have trouble understanding how the vinyl flaws could sound the ... | |
| Sound right before song begins on vinyl, what is it? @drbond Thanks for an interesting read. Seems that there can be a couple of reasons. I "think" most of what I hear is the tape bleed through type but who knows. I'll have to pay attention to when I hear it and try to observe what might be the ca... | |

| Cary SLP 98 users, past and present, are there any left? @decooney @immatthewj Thought I'd post an update on how I'm getting along with the SLP 98. I'm having fun with it and enjoying the music. Makes my cd's more listenable than I've ever had in my system. Still fiddling with tube rolling but mostl... | |
| Considering a New Tube Pre-amp @russ69 Thanks for that. Even with stock tubes, had very good sound. Better with some oldies. I don't think I'll ever tire of tube rolling. That makes the Cary's that much more appealing with the tubes out where we can get at them. Thoughtful. | |
| Considering a New Tube Pre-amp @russ69 I know we have crossed paths here with prior SLP 98 discussions. Just wondering what is your favorite tube combination for your SLP 98? I just picked up some Raytheon GTB's from 1950 and 52, put them in the rear slots to replace EH gold pi... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile This has been a fun read. Lots of old memories mentioned. Someone mentioned TV Lenny from Madison WI. He was said to have sold 1/4 of everything that Sansui made. I don't know if it's true but maybe. He pushed the hell out of it and had at least t... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @westcoastaudiophile Yep, a winner. Great recording. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @dogberry My wife has similar views. I tend to overdo it if I like something. I don't have the Suzanne Vega, will have to look for it. Thanks. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @unreceivedogma Nice post. I admire your attic biz and what you do with it. Very cool. I’d check it out if I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere MO. I share the vinyl experience as you do and have enjoyed turning many people onto it or back int... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @flash56 I recently read about the TB and the hospital stay. It said that he wrote over 40 songs while there. I don't know why I didn't know any of this stuff way back when. You'd think it would have been big news but it was also a time when my ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Some great info. Thanks. Now, I have more to look for. I do not have Mona Bone Jakon. I think I had it on 8 track or possibly cassette ages ago but it is no longer in my collection. It was not a favorite of mine, as I recall or I would have replac... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @sls883 Heard the other October Project, Falling Farther In. I enjoyed it. I think I liked the first one (more dynamic, I thought) a bit better but both were good. I'll have to watch for the other ones that I found. Thanks for the info on them. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @bdgregory Jan Hammer. I could see that. I think my son may have it. Will have to check. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @flash56 OK, so I got to hear the German Island pressing of TFTT. It is solid blue label, not pink. One side has a dark blue label and other side has a light blue one, kind of odd. It has the same issues as the pink rim Island. Loss of detail. T... |
