| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music There are a lot of good options out there. I would consider a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIIs. Warm, wet and fat is the best way to describe the sound. In a small room they will probably produce enough bass and if not you can always augment with a ... | |
| Leben CS 600 and Harbeth vs Audio Note vs ATC vs JM Reynaud Without knowing exactly which of these vendor's products you are considering it is hard to offer useful advise. I have limited experience with the Leben integrrated amps and Harbeth speakers, but I did own an Audio Note OTO and JM Reynaud Offrand... | |

| First Turntable - Direct drive or Belt drive? With regard to your primary question: Direct Drive or Belt Drive?IMO it doesn't really matter, all turntable drive types can sound good or bad. The question is what sounds good/better/best to you? Listen to as many turntable/cartridge phone stag... | |
| How does Amazon sell a 300.00 cartridge for 180.00? in the old days cartridges were among the highest markup items around, about 10x their cost. Kind of like tooth brushes at the pharmacy. Insane markups. More true for audio cables than for cartridges. | |
| MacBook Pro Playback distortion Try installing BitPerfect on your mac. Makes a huge difference. $10 | |
| I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks? I also like the Salmander Archetype racks - a lot of bang for the buck but they need to be tweaked to get the best sound out of them.I will add a vote for Timbernation. The good- great racks, beautiful, solidly built and weigh a ton. The bad 0 t... | |
| 12BH7 Nos In my two amps that use 12BH7 I can't say that I have noticed a difference between tube brands or NOS and new.12AX7 is another matter entirely. Long subject that has been discussed and rehashed before on this and every other audio forum. There a... | |
| A Tube Change Really Can Make A Difference I haven't owned all that many Visseaux tubes but every one I had looked to me like a re-branded or OEM'd RCA tube. And Popes were a Philips brand, made in Holland. | |
| Mission 761i Speakers I just bought a pair of Mission 737s for one of my daughters. I was always a fan of Mission speakers and they still sound great. Upgrade the output caps (cheap and easy) and you will have a great time listening to these. | |
| Reel to reel I hope that I'm not acting the wet noodle here, but I am confused by claims that an LP recorded to tape and then played back has MORE fidelity than the original album. How is that possible?I'm not coming from nowhere with this question. Years ag... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? If DD is the way to go I would suggest looking for the best Luxman PD-441 you can find. These sound and look great and are easy and affordable to restore, if needed. New arm boards are available and you can mount pretty much whatever tonearm(s) ... | |
| ortofon rmg 309 i Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I had one of these a few years ago and sold it without ever mounting it. It's possible I may have made a copy of the manual and if so I will send you a PM. | |
| ortofon rmg 309 i Dynamic balancing is not a "thing" you do, it's a design of the tonearm.Long answer: a static-balanced arm is a simple counterweighted lever. A dynamically-balanced tonearm still has to be statically balanced (more or less) but uses a spring or m... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? latenitecity, I have only seen and heard the Feikert table (Woodpecker?) at a show several years ago. It was a very beautiful table but my impression was that the wide drive belt was a little noisy. Maybe the metal top plate was a little resonan... |
