| Valve phono stage bpoletti... Take a very close look at phono cart signal generators. Doesn’t matter if the cart is MI, MM or MC. They are NOT balanced, they are single-ended with a + and - pole ...Huh? A stereo phono cartridge is inherently balanced; there is a... | |
| Wet Cleaning records makes things worse? gillatghHaving recently started purchasing some old records from my youth I find myself in a very similar predicament. Although I clean all these with a GD and a manual wipe and rinse I still get the accumulation of dust bunnies on the stylus... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - what arms work? lewm When the stylus is riding in the outer grooves moving toward the one instant when it is tangent to the groove, the tracking angle error is getting narrower until it disappears momentarily at the point of tangency. Then the stylus keeps... | |
| How do I find an audio advisor who does home consultations? udog ... Over the last couple of years I've taken the leap into a better quality vinyl system, but just can't seem to get the sound right consistently. In the past year I purchased a Rega Planar 3 TT, a Line Magnetic tube integrated amp and... | |
| CDs Vs LPs coolatheartIt's my understanding ALL vinyl is manufactured from a digital imprint.That may be your misunderstanding, but it's a misunderstanding, and not even remotely true. | |
| Worth purchasing infinity irs III without the emit towers? noobie1 OPNot sure what I’d do with them. But I mean dirt cheap $600That's a good deal if the drivers are in good condition. The control woofers alone are worth about that. The servo unit, if it's included, also has value. | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? helomechPeople invest thousands in conditioners and power cables because of their audiophile nervosa/insecurities and placebo effect. What an odd claim. Use of power conditioners aren’t confined to audiophiles, but are also in wide commercial use... | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? helomech If you have audible buzzing, hiss or hum, try using a "cheater plug" for your amp and preamp cables. It's fine to use cheater plugs for diagnostic purposes - they can be very helpful for that. But it's not safe to use them as a "soluti... | |

| Interconnects and non-believers ganainm Cleeds: "That doesn't mean that everything we've heard is illusion."Couldn't pass this up! Maybe it is!You're certainly free to believe that unless you are blindfolded everything you hear, see and feel is an illusion. I think that's a ... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers jssmith I always ignore subjective views and my viewpoint is "if you didn't hear it blind, you didn't hear it." That's absurd. Most of us hear things all of time, yet we're not living our lives blinded. That doesn't mean that everything we've ... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupsonWithout knowing what is what, it is all just an empty talk. In this thread, we have not even agreed what constitutes "walk" or "talk", yet it gets fiercely argued.That is exactly correct, and it is what I observed in the second post in thi... | |
| Klipsch vs Infinity mg16I owned Klipsch Lascala horns and Infinity Rennasaince 90's which are ribbon/cone hybrids.Those Infinitys are great speakers. But although they are planars, they aren't ribbons. | |
| Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go invictus005Retip is a waste of money as I said from the beginning ...That's a pretty broad statement. I've had excellence experience with a retip by Soundsmith. I'd recommend them to anyone. | |
| Talk but not walk? kosst_amojanWhy's there this sideways expectation that folks aren't legit audiophiles unless they indulge in all the snake oil? There is no such expectation. |
