| Cd's to make a come back in the future? I use Tidal, a lossless account, and it’s very good, but, if I find something on Tidal I like enough to want as a physical ‘keeper’, I search it out on eBay for usually very little digital cash (PayPal). Both my streaming and CD Player run through... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? My goodness, I was all over the place today.Started the day with 2 live performances of the Berliner Philharmoniker (Digital Concert Hall subscription) of Shoenberg Violin Concrto and Orchestra, op. 36 by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, and Tch... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m willing to listen and learn.In my business as a designer, I often suggest ideas to clients and they look at me like I have 3 heads, as they are out of the norm of what everyone else does, or what they have seen others h... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue @millercarbon Thanks for the additional insight.I had a pretty good feeling the styrofoam, or large tiles, etc. would not work. What I wanted to see was if the material I tried had any effect at all. It did. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just a ... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue The Kenwood is not a light weight turntable. Probably heavier than many in its pice class when manufactured. Again, that was it’s big selling points, the composition make-up and weight of the table.After a bit more searching for replacement feet, ... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue @larryrs Thanks so much, I’ll take a look at it. | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue OK all, interesting finding.@viridian Yes, I didn’t really want to pull the plug with a record playing, but I did. Turned up up volume, and no ’howling’ at all. @millercarbon I didn’t want to, but finally moved some furniture out of the way, and s... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue @jnorris2005 Interesting to consider. One note though, when I say wood shelves, these shelves are supported fully by a metal flange and frame and also a composite (layered wood) shelf that is as thick as the metal frame supporting it, or 1 1/2”. I... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue @jnorris2005 Great. ;-) I have the same concerns regarding the high pass filter. I’ve heard some say that a filter reduced their rumble issue, but who knows how picky they were about sound degradation. But, if it is indeed feedback, then that isn’... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Thanks Tubegb1) I ordered some synthetic lubrication for clocks, small motors, etc. I figured it should work.2) The belt was replaced not too long before I took it out of commission, but yes, it still sat for a long time, and they are availiable a... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Thank you robertjerman. I’ll make sure any photo stage I’m looking at addresses that issue.As I do not want to spend a ton of $$ at this time, I’m looking at the Schiit, Vincent PHO 8 (used), Cambridge CP2, and Parasound Zphono (used).Now that I t... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Nope, not the ones I was playing. | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Interesting. Thanks again millercarbon.any recommendation on after market lube?After comparing an album I have on vinyl and CD; John Mahall’s Jazz Blues Fusion, although the Grado Red made a significant improvement, I do think a separate phono pre... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue Thanks a bunch miller.Very good to know it isn’t a sonic feedback issue. I’ll check the belt drive ‘spindle’ for ‘feel’. This table has a lube hole right at its base. I always had the lube that came with the table handy, but goodness knows were th... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2? The 2Ce Signature is distinguished from the original 2 Ce by the inclusion of RV's autograph on the backplate.Wasn't aware of that. Good info. My 2CE Sig 'I's do, in fact' have Richards signature. I guess the moniker now makes sense ;-) Strangely ... |
