| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? Why no Sony spinners? Sony is the supplier of the chips to most of the brands mentioned in this thread. Yes, there are only two makers of everything in the world, all the rest just repackage, often at higher prices. | |
| Differences between VPI Prime and Aries 2 I have an Aries 2, very satisfied, with it's great sound. My unit has the 'black aluminum' platter. I also run it on the SDS and have a periphery ring from TT weights in Canada, which fits and was a fraction of the VPI unit. I have always sought... | |
| Best cartridge for Dual 505-2 Start with a Shure97, great sound and great value, especially for vintage TT's. | |
| I want to introduce my nephew to hi end with your help! Cuba? Really? The hi-end for anybody is freedom and liberty, something you will never find in Cuba. Think about getting him and his family out of Cuba while the door to the US is wide open for Cubans. Nothing beats the sweet sound of freedom a... | |
| Automatic Tables Denon 47F is the way to go. I presently have two. but have purchased over ten in the past thirty years. With the Denon 106 cartridge you have great sound and great convenience. Over the years I have given this TT to my kids as a way to get them ... | |
| Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting I am of the opinion of 'send all offers', I am never offended by any offer. For any offer you consider as 'low ball', it means you need to educate the buyer, move the person to move their price up. This is sales, 101. Years ago I had a person of... | |
| Is it all worth it? I too did a refoam on a pair of a40's about ten years ago. Before the refoam, I had the speakers for about 30 years. So, how do a pair of 40 year old speakers sound? Not great. Driver technology has come a long way in the past 40 years, producin... | |
| Worst or Best Excuses! The answer is simple: guilt. Most women cannot understand why a guy needs an expensive 'stereo', especially since an iPhone can play music. Most men cannot understand why a gal needs so many pairs of expensive shoes, especially those costing ove... | |
| What is a good entry level turntable? Go to Uturnaudio. Great sound great value. | |
| Record Doctor V versus Spin Clean Complete Steam is the answer. Visit Walmart and buy a $25 hand held steamer. It works wonders. The bonus is that it will take the wrinkles out of your shirts. If your are looking to 'go deep', ultrasonic is the way to go. Best bet is to buy from Hong Ko... | |
| Dynaco FM-5 Tuner. Is it still worth the money to service and possibly upgrade?? Better to acquire a Sony HD tuner. Out out performs everything out there, past and present. | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner Seems there is no end to the 'truth' of water. Yes, it is in the 'hearing' the difference, if you can. But better yet, a true audiophile will want to see 'clean'. For that you must put an electron microscope in play. I know, I know they cost me... | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? For the serious, the only solution is an electron microscope platform, typically goes for $10,000. A friend once had one, it was very effective. Are you serious? | |
| It's Back - Technics SL-1200 MKGAE Can anybody find this at CES, and if so provide a report? | |
