| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? You missing the whole point. Acoustic reflection process is pure physics and implementation of it into the listening room setup, where the goal is full Spectrum music SQ (some time customised depends on genre or personal preference), is balanced p... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? Extremely maximalistic approach. All depends on effect you want to reach. Mirrors could be very helpful at some situations. @surfmuzWatch this if you want to know how it works. Even bare wall is bad for the sound. I use acoustic panels on my ceili... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? The reason you have a big screen (TV?) between your speakers is to watch/listen to your favorite music concert video’s like NIN’S With Teeth or RTF’s Return or the Stones in 78 or Zappa’s Roxy and a hundred others. When the low end comes around a... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @daveyf I'm tired arguing with you, if you think a manufacturer like ZYX and its designer Nakatsuka-San with at least 50 years experience in cartridge manufacturing can't make a thousands of cartridges nowadays under his own brand then high-end ma... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I remember a trend for CD format in the 90’s, this trend almost destroyed the industry of cartridge manufacturing, turntables, vinyl pressing etc ... but it will never happen again. Now analog is a part of this digital world and stronger than ever... | |
| Cartridge without serial? We're talking about thousands of cartridges, because the importers are in regions like Asia, Europe, North America covering huge territory with huge population of people and there are many audiophiles and high-end shops. Do you think Nakatsuka-San... | |
| Cartridge without serial? Just checked the manual from my ZYX Premium 4D from Mehran (SoraSound) and there is a serial number field on warranty page with black ink stamp “PD108” and another layer in red “Premium 4D” stamp.I have another ZYX product (headamp) with same blac... | |
| Cartridge without serial? If a cartridge sold with fake serial number (or without serial number) then you can only guess if this cart passed quality control or not, the history of this cart is unknown. What is easy to do is to make it looks like sealed and never opened bef... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? @surfmuz my nephew also asked me to help him with his first analog rig, he tried to scratch my records since he was born :)) Now he’s got a Micro Seiki DD with Empire MI cartridge from me, he ordered Trends TA-1 (tripath amp) next step is phono st... | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... Once again about Technics mk7:This model is superior to previous generation like old mk5 and cost only $900-1000 and this is a brand new model with many features from GR! | |
| New Technics turntables Darko also reviewed new Technics mk7 and this is better than 1500c in my opinion, you don’t need Ortofon Red cartridge anyway and external phono stage is better. So buying mk7 you pay only $900 for brand new Technics. | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I only use wood for heat and power and I don’t have indoor plumbing at all. Not bad, eh? ;-) @hilde45I use 45 tubes for heating (and those Globe RCA made nearly 100 years ago), my First Watt F2J solid state amp is also very hot which is very nice... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? the question was, what percentage of *people* (not audiophiles) who listen to music listen exclusively analog vs digital. As I said, folks as us are a very small percentage of all music listeners. But, I have no idea what that percentage is. You?I... | |
| Cartridge without serial? @daveyf even if you know your distributors how you can catch one who sold to grey market dealers a bunch of them (if serial numbers replaced with fake number)? This is the only reason to remove or to replace serials, this is ID of the source. | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? Again, I think you are over-gereralizing. I’m 63. Many in my age group left vinyl completely by the 90’s and went to primarily CD’s, and then to streaming.Maybe, but I’m 45 this year and I sold all my CDs in the early 90’s and since that time I do... |
