| Repair Vintage Bang &Olufsen ? mijostyn1,800 posts02-12-2020 9:31amChakster, my understanding is that B+O designed this style of moving iron cartridge and held the patent. Lederman was contracted to repair them and as dbx implied Lederman took over the rights to this desig... | |
| Best cartridge for very old worn vinyl teo_audiothe shibata, or SAS, or Micro-ridge, or Micro-line, they will have greater contact area, but will also pull more deep hard packed detritus out of the groove. And thus will require more cleaning of the stylus ...That won't happen if yo... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic nonoiseA live recording, done well, can transport you to the venue.A studio recording, done well, will bring them to your room.Neither will do what you claim. Both are illusions. | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic douglas_schroeder I pay zero attention to distinctions such as "you are there" versus "they are here". It is a nebulous concept ...Agreed. It's all an illusion and this discussion is really about semantics. | |

| Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity. djones51Is a long term evaluation a test of the components or our brains adaptability?If genuine differences are revealed over time, then it’s obvious - by definition - that it’s not the brain’s "adaptability" that’s responsible.

| Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity. hilde45Has everyone who compared the different level streamers done so in a way that was randomized and blind? Not likely. I've noted many times that most audiophiles have no use for such tests.Perhaps you're different. Did you use blind testing ... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help david_tenSorry, @cleeds It is not. The language used in those posts is grossly incorrect.Sorry, @david_ten, but most of us mortals can only listen to recordings through components. So you can’t claim that the result of any given combination is: Th... | |
| 180 gram vinyl vs First Pressing used lowrider57There are a lot of defects in the vinyl being manufactured today.That has always been the case - there have always been badly made records. That’s part of what fueled the quick acceptance of the CD in the marketplace.However, if the OP ... | |
| Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity. big_gregThere aren't that many streamer only devices with no DAC, so it's not easy to compare different streamers into the same DAC ...Most streamers have digital outs, so comparing isn't difficult at all. | |
