| How bad is this? I got my problem fixed, again. There must be a problem with the right speaker connect on my Parasound A21. I checked and switched various speaker connections and finally got both speakers playing fine now. I have checked connections before and ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Country Joe & the Fish, “Electric Music for the Mind and Body”, mono version. Not what I expected. Mellow psychedelic vibe to it. | |
| How bad is this? P.S. Problem exists whether I play the tuner, sound from TV or the turntable. | |
| How bad is this? I have a recurring problem with my system: The right channel plays hardly at all now. I switched the cables between the pre-amp and amp, and the problem remains on the right speaker. That would seem to indicate there is a problem with the conne... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @j_damon: I listened to “Sticky Fingers” earlier today.@slaw: unfortunately, my ex-girlfriend took the hair dryer (which is fine since I don’t have much hair, but I don’t have it to heat the album to try to remove paint spots. I judiciously use... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? j_damon: I have that Alan Parsons Project on CD and like it! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601: The album just says Grateful Dead. Probably from the mid-1960’s. Jerry “Captain Trips” Garcia is clean-shaven and trim. Album cover is gold, with photo in red and yellow of sun surface eruption. Figurine in Center that resembles Th... | |
| My list of seller red flags I don’t know about buying on Audiogon, but a lot of sellers on other sites assume that people will offer them less than the asking price, just because . . . so they price the item higher than they will accept so they have negotiating room to come ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? So far, so good. There have only been a couple of old albums that didn’t sound good even after cleaning.I knew Gregg Rolle was with Santana but wasn’t aware that Neil Schon was also. I have a couple of old Santana albums — haven’t dug that far i... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I just saw your question about my Kenwood TT. It’s a KD-64f. Linear-tracking. After sitting unused for years, it wouldn’t work. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and felt emboldened to open it up. Along with the usual dust, there was corro... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spirit, I just cleaned up my Journey album, “Look Into the Future”, from 1976. Haven’t listened to it in years — will play it again tonight or tomorrow.I listened to my elder sister’s John Mayall, Eric Clapton and Blues Breakers, from 1966. Mon... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? @chakster, I didn’t know I could fit a better stylus on the Red. How is that listed? Do I simply search for a replacement stylus for that cartridge and choose from among those listed? I would think a big issue with how these old records were pl... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? Pertaining to my situation of being a “tight budget audiophile” (if there is such a thing): If one has an inexpensive turntable with the stock tonearm — in my case a Denon DP-300F with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge — does it make sense to put a mo... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent, Thanks for the welcome! My new turntable . . embarrassed to say after seeing the equipment you guys use. I don’t anticipate playing vinyl much, so when my 30+ year old Kenwood died, I was looking for a replacement in the $300-$500 rang... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My old turntable died and I have been waiting a week for it’s replacement to arrive. It came today! I have been cleaning and listening to old albums:* Woodstock, 3 album set* Jefferson Starship, Red Octopus* Ohio Players, Honey* Pink Floyd, Wish... |
