| Re-Discover my Direct to Disks I love the umbrella Toronto Chamber Symphony records and David Montgomery “The Piano” on Direkt to Disk may be the best piano recording I’ve heard. I’m not totally convinced it’s because they’re D to D. I think it’s the fact that they were done us... | |
| Frampton Acoustic Classics Actually, it was given to me in 2017! How time flies. These same people also gave me the Sgt Pepper Reissue with the remastered record and a second with the raw tracks. Also quite excellent. Obviously an audiophile remaster, as the harshness is g... | |
| A B JPS evaluation As you are already a JPS owner and apparently a serious customer, you should contact a dealer or JPS directly to arrange a home demo or at least a store demo. I have no experience with JPS specifically, but I have found cable changes to run the ga... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui And at the dealer, you can compare several dacs side by side. And, believe it or not, some dealers really want you to be satisfied and will help guide you to products that suit your tastes. IMO, we were better off 50 years ago when we walked into ... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui IMO, you are drowning in a sea of choices and opinions. Personally, I would take the 2-hour drive to the dealer, sit down and listen. It’s a better way to buy, IMO. | |
| The most tower like stand mount under $4k I think you need to reevaluate your definitions a bit. Tower speakers are not necessarily more accurate, musical or anything more than standmounts. Some may have a deeper bass or fuller bass because of the larger cabinets, but that’s not necessari... | |
| Retip lyra delos and upgrade I had 2 carts retipped- one by Soundsmith and one by VAS and I left it up to them. Both times they recommended replacing the tip only and they both came out great. So IMO, use a top-quality person and take their recommendation. They know what work... | |
| Cable upgrade Your dealer should be able to demo cables for you to determine whether something sounds better to you. That’s what dealers are supposed to do. If they can’t or won’t, you might as well buy used and take your chances. | |
| Mystery! Did you and your tech use the same discs to test the unit? | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @neonknight - so? Are you going to order one after hearing all of these opinions? | |
| TT Arm-base Unipivot vs Gimbal-base Designs... If you use Google, there are endless discussions on the advantages and disadvantages of each type of arm. In the end, I think it comes down more to the design and execution of each type, rather than whether the arm is unipivot or gimbal. | |
| LP cleaning This has been around for many years. There have also been other gooey substances you spread on the records a peeled off hours later. I don’t think any of them worked as well as a wet cleaning on a decent machine, let alone ultrasonics, and fell ou... | |
| Is my stylus miss-tracking? It is also possible that the your cartridge is just incapable of tracking some grooves cut at very high velocity. If you’re not up to doing the adjustments yourself, consult the dealer you bought it from. Also, make sure your tracking force is set... | |
| Interconnect advice needed What are you using now? You say your speakers have a midrange bump. Is that something you know from listening in your room or something you read? | |
| Mint LP Solution Audio Intelligent #6 works well as a 1-step fluid. The best? I don’t know, but it will serve until you find one that’s better. I happen to like Audiotop, but that contains alcohol. And it is on the expensive side. |
