| Vintage Carver Thanks. This is helpful for those of us who look to buy used gear to save money. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range @johnnyb53 - Excellent idea. I have heard them, at a show, and they were extremely impressive. You need high cielings and some space around them to breathe, but the Carver Amazing Line Source is one of those rare speakers that just seems to do e... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? +1 on the Ohm suggestions. I have had the 2000s since 2009, and they provide as much of what you’re looking for as possible in one speaker. No, they do not project laser sharp images, but there is image specificity within a very wide, deep and tal... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @kalali - There is never any "rush" on the Garden State! :-) More like the morning "mosey".Being extremely cheap, and a bit of a ludite, I have yet to commit to monthly streaming fees, and my cheap cell phone has limited data, so I am still all a... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @miner42 - I hear you. I told one of the principles of Sweetvinyl that had the SC-2 only digitized, track-split, added metadata and sent the files to my networked server, I would have gladly bought it without the de-clickifier processing.At retai... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @kalali - I enjoy spinning vinyl, and if I could, I would play the LP rather than the digitized version. But that's not always easy to do. I have to find the LP (harder than it sounds in my house), clean it, and flip it over in the middle. Some... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @sbrownnw - No question the entry fee is on the high side. In Sweetvinyl's defense, I will say they have pretty much built a new product category from the ground up. Yes, I know there are competing de-clickifier programs, but, AFAIK, none of the... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? @travbrow - Your last post was quite reasonable. My point above in response to your earlier post was simply that, as JGH used to say, "if you haven't heard it, you don't have an opinion." Every system, room, ears, and brain is different. YMMV,... | |
| TT mats @lewm - The K-Works Ersamat does claim to block EMI from getting to the stylus/cartridge. | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? @travbrow - Wow! I wish I had the ability to hear all the "overpriced audiophile cable[s]" and compare them to Mogami like you did. Color me jealous. | |
| TT mats I have been using the K-Works Ersamat for about 8 years on my Thorens TD-166 MkII. The designer, Igor of K-Works, developed it using his VPI 'table with aluminum platter. It acts to block RFI and EMI from reaching the stylus and entering the sig... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @robob - I never looked at the Loki before. What a marvelous little device! If I did not have tone controls on my pre, I would look into this. I use a vintage Kenwood graphic/parametric EQ that is fully electronic, no noisy sliders or pots.IIR... | |
| Diana Krall I have the Live in Rio BD, and find it very enjoyable. Great sound, too. | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? Yup - I discovered "Eighties" on the soundtrack LP from "Wierd Science". Yes, I own that LP and I am not ashamed to admit it. If you're an 80's guy like me, then this LP is wonderful. I have a couple of KJ LPs, always enjoyed them, but I can't ... | |
| SYSTEM COMPLETE FINALLY! @mr_m - I read on another thread that the audiophile's worst nightmare is that after he dies, his wife will sell all his gear for what he told her he paid for it! |
