| What is the better sounding turntable: Project 1XCarbon or the Rega P3 ?? @sunnyjim ,@limomangus is right. At this level there’s nowhere enough difference to worry.Some really good words of advice there. Certainly worth a screenshot. | |
| I agree with Keef @tgilb,"Yes, the Stones decided to silence themselves."Not very rebellious of them was it?To think, once they had the entire nation out in uproar with tales of public urination, crazed drug parties involving imaginative uses of a Mars bar, foreign... | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? @jon_5912,A timely clarification. That’s the problem here. Just how does a dealer compete with the internet?Or is all retail as we know it, ultimately doomed?Not that long ago I wanted to buy some Adidas training shoes. They had to be all black, h... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard @emrofsemanon, "CD, that is a superb avid editing job on that one, wasn't it? :)"It certainly is. That's the great thing about some fan edits, they're often better than the official videos.Just shows that you don't always need big bucks if you're ... | |
| Who Were Your Mentors My 'mentor' must have been my older cousin. Back in the mid 1970s he was the only person I knew who had a seperates system. In an era of radiograms and music centres he had a turntable, amp and speakers system.As a kid I remember laughing at all o... | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? @blue-magoo,Fair enough, but bear in mind that Hi-Fi dealers are rather thin on the ground these days whereas builders and plumbers are not.Unless it's Christmas, or a Sunday.Maybe the real problem is that audiophiles are also rather thin on the g... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard @emrofsemanon,It's hard to top that one. It works on just about every level you can think of.Here's a tribute posted by YouTuber DarthNub, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru9e2rTHeuk | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. @n80,"And therein lies the real issue. Its the kids. They have lots of money and tiny attention spans and are mindless consumers all of which has been cultivated by the culture since the 1990s. If all they want is the millenial whoop and three rep... | |
| Is Bob Dylan’s “visions of Joanne” a rap song? Not Visions of Johanna but Dylan’s 1965 Subterranean Homesick Blues is often cited as the first rap song.Here, you can judge for yourself.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxjIBEZvx0 | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard @millercarbon,"Imagine is commie pabulum, insipid nihilism, made all the more slimy for its silky delivery. A worse song it is hard to imagine. Okay, We Are The World. But that’s about it. Kharma Chameleon is more intellectually and philosophicall... | |
| Sibilance @lowrider57,"There are different remasters of that album and they sound different. Sometimes it's hard to tell which version is being streamed."I remember listening to a couple of 'remasters' back in the late 1990s of this and Led Zep IV and bein... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard Charles Aznavour’s Yesterday When I Was Young covered by Roy Clark amongst many others."I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about And every conversation I can now recall Concerned itself wit... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio @blue-magoo,"Led Zeppelin sounded best on my 8 track player in my car when I was 20. I recently bought a new vinyl version and it sounds terrible."That’s unfortunate as vinyl is usually spared the bane of our times, compression.But not always.You ... | |
| Ok, what just happened? My turntable journey...thus far. @geoff3, "Isolation/damping is everything with a turntable."It really is. I once placed a cheap nondescript plastic turntable (given to me by a friend) on top of a lightweight bit extremely rigid wooden table who itself was stood on a carpeted flo... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k Before shelling out $70k perhaps you might want to watch this Audioholics presentation first... and then buy some headphones.I'm joking, but there might be something of consideration here. If you're short of time you might want to skip ahead to th... |
