| Simple advice you should have, but didn't follow that made a big difference. Buy low, sell high. | |
| Sonus Faber Finish Maintenace I would just use a clean Swiffer duster for regular dust-removal maintenance. The finish is likely a polyurethane, which means it's pretty tough. I would just use a microfiber cloth with a spritz of auto detail spray, like the ones offered by Gr... | |
| And now, Introducing.... I've seen a lot of next big things come and go. | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith I sent them a cartridge 9 months ago and haven't heard a peep. I made an email inquiry about a month ago with no response. I've heard they take a long time, so I figured 6 months. Fortunately, I don't need the cartridge right now. | |
| Best Equipment Stand While I agree that wall shelves are not a panacea and walls do vibrate, it is far less than a springy floor. The only other thing you might try is to brace the back of the rack against the rear wall with some sort of spacers that could possibly p... | |
| Best Equipment Stand I don't think any rack is going to solve a springy floor problem. Put the table on a wall shelf. | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" True, jafant. Likewise, "historic" does not always equal better. | |
| Have you gotten great sound in a small er room? I've gotten what I consider to be very good sound in a smaller room, but I have found that I had to try several different speakers, as some just wouldn't work, I believe due to bass cancellation. As everyone with a small room knows, the placement... | |
| Does dry-brushing really do anything... IMO, it's more of a ritual than a necessity. I agree that the type of dust it removes does not affect the playability, although I'm sure Doug Deacon would disagree. Of course it is possible that a piece of crap somehow got onto the record that t... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? No direct experience with Luxman, but IMO, all digital takes some time to open up. Assuming it has no tubes, I would not shut it off at all, unless I were going on vacation. I would say give it a month and just live with it. I have gone through... | |
| Which CD\SACD? I've never heard the Oppo, modded or unmodded, described as "rich". | |
| Is it all worth it? They knew how to make speakers a long time ago, so it's no surprise that you like those monitors. I remember the old 15" Altec coaxial studio monitors were great, as were the old JBL Paragons and others. One of the reasons I like my Trenner &... | |
| Is it all worth it? makes sense to me. People go for hyper detail when they audition components, but it becomes tiresome when you get it home. After a while, you just want something more comfortable to listen to. | |
| Why would anyone want 180g records ? When I got back into vinyl in about 2005, after a 20 year hiatus, I was initially very impressed with the heavier vinyl pressings. But after a few years of purchasing many mint used records of all thicknesses, I heard no correlation between thick... | |
| Support for Linn digital streamers from dealer network on used equipment good question. There are some people here who are familiar with the Linn streamers. I suggest you reach out to them in a separate post and I'm sure they'll give you some help. Good luck. |
