| Classic Tuner It is over for these vintage tuners. I have a Kenwood too, and believe me in my reception area the Sony HD tuner blows it away. Sadly Sony is not selling any more but there is huge market on eBay. | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Don't forget the steam unit for cleaning the vinyl. At about $30 it is a must. Think about it, steam is the best way to clean your carpet, it also is the best way to clean your vinyl. | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... For your table/cartridge look into U-Turn Audio, a start up in Boston. It sells direct and has gotten some great reviews. Go for the Orbit Plus model. | |
| Suggest SACD Player No Video, New or Used, $1kish? Look for a Sony 595, its a changer, great chips, great sound, great value, maybe about $100 | |
| Denon DP-59L skips at end of record Good tip from Fleib. A word of caution on vintage turntables. Given the age it best to do a pick up and test when you buy, never ship, even if the seller has all the original packing materials and boxes. Parts for these vintage TT's are rare and f... | |
| How Much Does Your Favorite Band Cost? As noted, the cost is 'pre expenses', which often are five to six times the performance fee depending on the location and the day and time of the performance. Touring is the only way for acts to make money. Recording and song royalties add little ... | |
| Rack Recommendations Go with wood, no glass or metal. Better sound. Take a look at the wood racks at cayinusa.com Well built, great value. | |
| Does the VPI Aries1 best the VPI Classic1? I have the Aries 1, and I found no reason to change to other VPI products, especially since the increase in cost never produces the 'better sound' that I would expect. Let us all be honest, Harry is a profit making machine and he does so by reinve... | |
| Got an LP cleaner you want to make money on? Steam, steam. Yes, water is expensive but it works better then most 'magic' solutions. Oh, it is a labor intensive process so many will be looking for a 'set it and forget it' approach. Beware, VPI, is coming out with an ultra machine. This will k... | |
| Apple in Talks to Buy Beats Electronics for $3.2 B This buy is all about the 'streaming' business, not withstanding Apple already has one. In addition, it is about one of the Beats actors, and his abilities to develop new business's which Apple needs, for organically it does not have much new grow... | |
| Smoke contaminated component No problem, just take up smoking, you will never know the difference. | |
| Apple to Acquire Beats Audio Just confirms my 'greater fool theory of investing. The way it works is that all you need is to find a greater fool to buy your 'investment' to make a profit. Value has nothing to do with it. | |
| JC3+ Anyone? If you have any doubts about your financial situation, give it a rest until things improve. Chasing 'better sound' is no substitute for money in the bank. | |
| Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10? I have heard the RP10, I am not impressed. Suggest you take a look at the 'U-Turn Audio" Orbit plus, cartridge and arm included. Sold only direct. I was impressed, and kept the unit I ordered. Hey, it comes in green or blue, so it give the signifi... | |
| Which REL subs for ProAc One SCs? I use two subs with my SC's, both are NHT SW2's, which have outboard amps. I have the subs on spiked amp stands, with cushioned auto wheel rings under the subs. How I came to that configuration is a long story, but they work very well. The only wa... |
