McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
oregonpapaI’m convinced that the naysayers have never experienced what is possible with their systems.That may be partially true, but I suspect many of the naysayer measurementalists don’t even own systems. They’re just here to argue and disrupt a... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
doverIt’s not a claim, it is science. Less tracking error means there are less phase errors, less phase errors result in a more accurate reproduction of harmonics and more accurate phase and time, resulting in a more accurate and transparent soun... 
Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?
nonoiseThe sad and pitiful part of all of this is that those on the right vomiting already debunked BS know they are lying ... It's a pathology of sorts to do such a thing and they get a kick out of it. That, and the pure sadism of inciting and ... 
A/B testing of RCA interconnects using Y splitter- Thoughts?
millercarbon .... You must have that confused with ABX, where each button push changes but you don’t know to what- A to B, B to A, or no change which is X ...No, that is not at all how an ABX test works.In an ABX test, there are two sources. One i... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
rauliruegasDear @dover @cleeds @lewm : Dover/Cleeds I see that both of you don’t get it:" when the 99.99% of the pivoted vintage and today tonearms are/were designed with that offset angle and obviously overhang figure. "" That’s why is useless ti... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
doverObviously you cant hear it, but others can.Obviously?Perhaps you should read more carefully. I didn’t say I couldn’t hear it.No pivoted arm can reproduce the soundstage transparency and accuracy of a linear tracker ...That’s quite a claim! W... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
auliruegas@lewm : Sorry, your post is useless, for say the least, when the 99.99% of the pivoted vintage and today tonearms are/were designed with that offset angle and obviously overhang figure.I’m not sure why you think it’s useless. Although I’... 
Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me?
audio2designAnd there is it folks, can’t win an argument based on facts, or truth, so must resort to an insult and labelling.Nope, I offered no insult. There’s no need for you to pretend you’re insulted simply because someone disagrees with you.Ha... 
Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas?
cerrotI picked one up a few months ago and count not be happier. Obvious sonic improvement - even on clean, brand new records.I don’t have a Degritter - I use a Klaudio US machine - but your experience doesn’t surprise me at all. LPs aren’t presse... 
Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me?
audio2design ... double blind ABX testing is considered the gold standard ...Not everyone shares your measurementalist’s belief that ABX is the "gold standard" for evaluating audio equipment. Not even close. It appears that really upsets you.That... 
Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning

Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT?

McIntosh vs Accuphase?
decathlon1991I have the McIntosh MC2301 Monoblock amplifiers. I seriously doubt that Accuphase will top that in sound quality. If you think so, please provide proof.Don't be silly. First, no one here owes you proof of anything, just as I'm no... 
I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ...
rsure... the downside of losing everything if something goes wrong is a huge negative, at least for me ...Same here. That’s one reason I buy separates.It shouldn’t be rocket science to find an amplifier well-suited to any given speaker. If that’s...
