| Best products for baffle material s ? Vapor1 - You misinterpreted my post. I am saying that the OP believes that if he builds a heavy enclosure, it will automatically be superior to the one he has now, which he believes vibrates. He may well end up preferring what he has now. I am say... | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade About the Herbies Mat - you asked what thickness to get. If your tt has a thin felt mat, get the thinnest one. Herbie will help you with this. I wouldn't normally recommend a mat as a first upgrade, but on my MM5, it was ridiculous how much it hel... | |
| Best products for baffle material s ? PTSS, I haven't read every post here, but I think your premise, that a less resonant cabinet is better, is simplistic and flawed. Every material, regardless of density and weight, has a resonant frequency. Companies like Spendor and Harbeth, who b... | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl I had a chance to compare side one of the new Rubber Soul mono release with my Japanese stereo version cut from a digitally remastered copy of the original tape, so it says. While it was a relief to be rid of the distracting hard panning of the st... | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade I'm not sure what you're considering would be a really audible improvement over what you have. Personally, I would try a Herbies mat before doing anything. It made a very audible improvement on my old Music Hall (Project) tt, but it seriously degr... | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl I'm not a Beatles collector, but I just bought Rubber Soul and I'm going to compare it with a Japanese copy I bought several years ago. The Japanese copy states it was direct metal mastered from a "digitally remastered original tape". Whatever tha... | |

| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Well, I've never commented on a typo before, but "Hard Bob"? C'mon. That's too funny. I think he starred in "Star Whores" and "The Empire Strikes Ass". OK, if you want a great big band record, pick up Basie Straight Ahead. Charts by Sammy Nestico.... | |
| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band "Hard Bob"? I think you're confusing the jazz term with the name of an actor in one of your DVDs. | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? @Bfin3 - Just remember that many of the best phones are open-back and virtually non-isolating. You will hear every outside noise and you have to listen in a quiet environment, just as you would with speakers. Take that into account before you plun... | |
| Speakers for Jolida 302B? Wharfedales are very good for the money. | |

| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions My Civic will ride over rough roads that my buddy's Corvette can't traverse. Putting a lot of money into a Linn is a choice one makes, hopefully aware of the pros and cons. You just have to want to own a Linn. You either feel it or you don't. | |
| First Table Setup: Org. VPI Scout Why don't you trust the dealer? | |
| 29" Speaker Stands for Paradigm 20 v5 Monitors? Don't skimp on the stands, as the sound of the speaker will greatly suffer. Sound Anchors are excellent, but they are expensive. Try Target MR stands - much cheaper, but still very good. |
