| Sound proofing panels and other equipment - What is the best out there right now Why not just get him some very good headphones? | |
| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? Yes, maybe and no. | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators There are a couple of ways to reduce or eliminate pops and tics. The first way is to clean the records as best possible. The second is to not play the part of the groove that has the pops and tics. (Yes, Ricky. There's some splainin' to do.)Th... | |
| Is soundstaging emblematic of reality? Everyone has different listening preferences. One person's appreciation of imaging and soundstage is another annoying distraction. In listening to classical music, I personally consider strong imaging and soundstage reproduction an enhancement t... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? I agree. Not sure about a "line" or an "arc" in an image. What I get is nothing at all like that. I don't hear the speakers at all. What I hear is the soundstage with instruments all over in proper depth / position on state and side-to-side po... | |
| Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers Sorta seems intuitive, but if it hurts when you listen that loud, don't listen that loud. | |
| Media: Should we start hoarding? I have a local friend that recently passed away. I don't know exactly how many records he left, but estimate 10,000 or more. His children are burdened with finding new owners for the records. They don't want to just give them away since it's a ... | |
| New Cartridge Suggestions Have you considered an AT OC9/II? It's a very underrated cartridge that is crisp, tight, detailed, musical and dynamic. Some say it errs on the bright side. I say it has honest high frequency response. Just because it is inexpensive doesn't me... | |
| Sudden problem with turntable Could it be that the suspension on your cartridge has given up the ghost and collapsed, and (at the worst) you're just dragging along on the cartridge body? | |
| Amplifier upgrade I'd take a very hard look at the Herron Audio M2 amps. VERY GOOD. | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? This is a troll thread. If you don't want to spend money on an expensive tonearm, then don't. Nobody is forcing you to purchase an expensive piece of audio gear. | |
| VPI Aries 3 - Funk Firm 3mm Acromat @stringreen Thanks for the info. Interesting observation. Glad you provided your $0.20 worth. So to put the suggestion into context, I'm using an Aries Extended with a threaded spindle and depressed label area. A rubber washer of about 1/16" o... | |
| VPI Aries 3 - Funk Firm 3mm Acromat @stringreen - I'm interested in following up on your suggestion. Where are Harry's comments you reference? Can't seem to find them on the VPI site. | |
| VPI Aries 3 - Funk Firm 3mm Acromat I have an early VPI Aries Extended (12" JMW Memorial Arm) with a version of the "super platter." So far, all the mats I've tried have degraded sonic quality. I will be testing a sample of the latest VPI mat this week to see how it performs.I use... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? @lewm You haven't been to my house or you would know that it's only red wine that is consumed when listening. Maybe you should make some arrangements to have that sampling. ;-) Is there ANYTHING to say BAD about the Herron VTPH-2A? Doesn't ANY... |
