| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! High dynamic range music could do the trick. Try Mike Oldfield's Amarok if you want one of the best hours a music loving being can have. | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! Wolf, Jason over at Head-fi said that it may arrive in the April/May time frame. It keeps getting pushed back and he says it's the hardest product they've ever tried to produce, so there's been a bit of a learning curve. Here is the latest, I beli... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS So, I got the AT VM540ML installed properly and listened to it over the weekend and....I'm not a fan. My fears were realized. On most of my records that gave me the warm and fuzzies previously, now sounded bright, thin and with the life sucked o... | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? If you want dac built in to amp (all in one), likely nothing better for the money than the massdrop THX AAA 789. I think it's right around 500 bucks, but from what I understand it is a lightning quick amp that makes for superb Dynamics.Otherwise, ... | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? I would get the JDS labs first and call it good unless you can think of a reason to get something different. It should drive both headphones fantastically. | |

| Ways the stylus tip is attached to the cantilever Hi Raul, I am worried that the AT VM540ML (arriving tomorrow) will sound too bright/shrill, so I kind of have buyers remorse without even trying it first (hopefully, I will be very wrong) I didn't buy the Nagaoka first since I've been stewing over... | |
| Ways the stylus tip is attached to the cantilever Anyone know if the Nagaoka MP-200 and MP-150 carts (2 that I am considering if my AT VM540ML doesn’t work out) have bonded diamonds? I see some sites that say nude and some that say bonded. Also when I view the Nagaoka stylus PDF, it only mentions... | |
