| Tonearm recommendation Crazy Bill,I also have a Sonic Frontiers phono signature. What tubes are you using? I recently upgraded to Mullard 6DJ8's (from Sylvania) & am impressed with the change. It's always thrown a huge stage, now it has that with more presence and d... | |
| Tonearm recommendation john tracy,Not on topic but...What phono do you have that beat the sonic frontier? Just curious, I've been thinking about replacing mine at some point.crazy bill,Thanks for the topic, very entertaining. | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? Well there is another "kick me" moment. In the 70's (before I got into tubes) I could have picked up a sweet pair of Marantz mono blocks for $400 at a local stereo shop. I didn't. Fifteen years later when I got into tubes, they were way over my bu... | |
| New Year, New Music Great to hear that My Morning Jacket is putting out another one this year. | |
| "Hidden Gems"' Walter Carlos / Sonic Seasonings A very interesting album that is well recorded. Listened to the "winter" side tonight (very appropriate for west Michigan currently) and the wolves were eerie. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? David Bowie / The man who sold the world, Space oddity, Hunky dory, Aladin sane. Its a shame he's gone. | |

| R.I.P. David Bowie David has been part of my rotation for 30 plus years. Its nice that someone with his level of talent and creativity also cared about the recording quality. My favorite from him is hunky dory. I'll check out his latest when its released on vinyl. A... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Captain Beefheart / Trout Mask Replica | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? Norman,I respect your opinion. In my case, I haven't changed cables to adjust treble or bass, but to add additional 3D realism & space between the instruments. They do that too. | |
| Right channel makes raspy noise when playing records Check out Brent Jessee Tubes. I've bought some very nice NOS & used tubes from him. Service is great. | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? I wonder if one of the reasons older gear can really shine today is due to the vast improvements in cables & interconnects. Those allow there true performance to come through. Thoughts? | |
| Radiohead read on I have all of there albums except the numerous singles they've released. Lately I find myself listening to there latest release (now years old) much more than the others. I didn't like that album much at first listen, but now truly admire it &... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Phusis,Thanks for the link. That is exactly why I like vinyl & SE tube amps with Lowther speakers. The design implementations are old, but together they have "presence" in spades. | |
| How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems? Not as old as some but still "rather vintage"... Jeff Korneff SE 6550 power amp, Melos MA222 preamp, Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Signature phono & Cinemag SUT, driving Lowther Fidelio speakers. I've owned them for years so can't say how they compar... |
