| Loose hinges in a Pioneer pl-12d turntable This used to happen on my Linn. I finally just took them off and put the dust cover on when I wasn't using it. Your cheapest option might be to buy a complete used PL12 for cheap and salvage the parts. | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important I think we all knee jerk into conflating distortion with noise or some other objectionable sound. In reality, distortion is only the difference between the input and the output of a device. A parametric equalizer, which virtually every mastering... | |
| my first analog setup , some advice please As you are dealing with a dealer, which is smart in the case of a new analog setup, I would suggest asking him what he feels would make the most improvement in your system. You might be surprised. I was once convinced I needed a new amplifier, b... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Just a little point here - I had a 2900 and it was a well-built unit with a smooth, non-offensive sound. I hope you find a nice dac you are happy with, but don't automatically assume you will prefer it to what you have. That's why you really hav... | |
| What is the Best LP Cover Art for you Wall I have Philly Joe Jones Showcase up on my wall. Nice picture of PJJ behind an absolutely wrong-sized set of Gretsch drums, but it still looks cool if you can look past the photo inaccuracy. | |
| Onzow Stylus Tip Cleaner Using it for years with no problems. But, as with anything to do with stylus cleaning, you have to be careful not to move the cleaner while the stylus is on it. Just down and straight up. Also, I basically just use it between sides, but then us... | |
| Upgrade SACD/CD player from DCS Puccini to better DCS, Esoteric or EMM Labs? Do you have the clock? Maybe you just need to optimize the Puccini to get what you are looking for. The clock makes a big difference IMO. | |
| Anyone Ever Tried This...? I think I would just rather use a strobe. | |
| Phono Stages with External Power Supplies...Worth It? In my years of dealing with Naim equipment, I found that adding a power supply made a huge improvement in the sound. Not just "smoother" or "more musical" or stuff like that. It made the music sound more musically complete, like going from stand... | |
| Amps that bring liveliness to low efficiency speakers? Bryston | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? I was there back in the day and, while JBL made maybe the best drivers, I was never knocked out by the speakers, except for my uncle’s JBL Paragon. When I was in my teens, my bud had the Century 100s and even then I preferred my Cerwin Vegas. Almo... | |
| Oppo PM3 Headphones For Sale I never saw the obviously inflammatory post that was removed, but just to clarify - Many of us, including myself, recently purchased Oppo gear and there is a substantial amount of price-gouging going on with both the DVD players and headphones. I... | |
| Going to NYC from the outback of Oregon. Again... I don't want to dampen your spirits, but just so you are aware, NYC audio shops are generally not very open to tire kickers. "Oh, I'm from out of town and I just want to hang out and listen for a few hours" doesn't fly very well in general. NYC ... | |
| Cartridge alignment tool @chakster - I have a question for you. I have an original Denison Soundtractor, which also uses a spindle-to-pivot measuring device. But unless your arm has a dimple specifically made to be microscopically centered over the pivot, how can you ev... | |
| Cleanest CD recording to test with I forgot all about Oregon. I need to try and pick up another copy.Thanks for reminding me. |
