| Cleaning LP's I've cleaned records that were old before, made them look perfect, and still the wear is there. Cleaning isn't going to help vinyl that has seen thousands of repeated plays on awful equipment. It only helps preserve records that have yet to be rui... | |
| What deserves to be Remastered on CD? Why don't you get the MCA reissue on 180gm vinyl, of Who's Next? It has more warmth and depth than any CD. Another thing I don't understand, is why there isn't more debate about analog, versus digital...this thread would be the perfect place for i... | |
| Phono Preamp acting as a Tuner. Help! I concur with Keis, it's the cantilever/cartridge motor, being amplified by the phono stage. Mine has picked up what seems to be an AM Cuban American station. I had to kill that dictator down there, just to get them to shut up...haven't had any pr... | |
| Does room size affect volume and bass? Bass frequencies can still be perceived accurately in smaller rooms, whether or not the room supports the full wavelength. Bass waveforms do not have to be a "travelling wave" in order to be accurately reproduced. | |
| VPI Turn Table I have the HW-19jr, and it's great, definitely the best for the money. With it, the AQ PT-8 arm, the Benz Lo4 cartridge, and the Musical Surroundings Phonomena phono stage. Nobody would believe how well these work together. | |
| Best Recording Label I want to comment on REISSUES (mostly): The best label for vinyl is Classic Records. I want to get to know Bernie Grundman sometime, since I have his autograph in vinyl a couple of hundred times....for current "recording" labels.......I don't know... | |
| Does room size affect volume and bass? Ignore that dealer, he is dead wrong. The room's volume has ZERO to do with cone excursion. Only if the speaker is receiving less power from the amp, will the cone have less excursion. If you are actually playing the speaker quiter, but the SPL at... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge I most certainly did not "run" Deborah out of this forum! She is a very busy musician and educator, and doesn't spend every waking moment in this forum. She has better things to do, mostly. I'll have all of you know, that I have become acquainted ... | |
| Best A-D converter Too bad people such as Michael Hobson don't just turn over all those great master tapes to anyone, cause we could then try them with your ADC. But he won't, and they aren't even his to turn over...One question: Who are these people that say, "Oh, ... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Gee, I guess I just like to know who I'm talking to. Imagine that? I expected people in this hobby to have more manners than both of you do, that's all...............I think, Jordan or Janie or Jackschmit or Jackass or whoever you are, that if you... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Jordan, you are quite right, I'm full of nonsense, have never known what I'm talking about, and never listen to anything but pink noise on my system. I'm glad that you are so humble as to proclaim that you know so little, yet are perfectly open mi... | |
| Resolution Audio CD55 And paying 3 times the price, to boot. My CD50 is NOT a "so so" player, and I dare you to bring this Accuphase by my system anytime for a real shootout. Perhaps the 55 is not as good as the 50...I won't allow cigar smoking in my home, though, but ... | |
| Are Talon speakers really this great? Joe, if you don't stop making trouble, I'm gonna tell your warden to let big bubba into your cell for a while.... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge ....very afraid.... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge And Jordan, how many CD players or DACs have YOU designed? I want to know, because it seems to me that you are pretending that you have. How about letting those who design them speak for themselves? Also, onon of you have answered how your systems... |
