| Flipping the LP over ... Bwhite,I've been doing it all the time and have NEVER damaged a record. I make sure not to do it "under the influence," of course! | |
| New Scout & MH MM-7 or old Linn Sondek. ????? My Linn sounds great, too. And I've heard quite a few. I don't know this rant about having "absolutely no idea about a good sounding turntable" is supposed to accomplish. Babyz didn't ask about $10,000 turntables. Most of us can't afford such, hen... | |
| Do you leave your SS amp on all the time? I keep mine on 24/7.I put the NAD components into "standby" and the Plinius just stays on (per Plinius' recommendation and my listening pleasure). If I turn off the NAD stuff completely for a couple of days, they warm up in a few hours. However, t... | |
| Nick Cave fans? Yes, Alex, I like Fairport, too, esp. Unhalfbricking, Full House, Liege and Lief. The post-RT and Sandy Denny Fairport didn't do much for me. | |
| Any opinions on NAD quality? I agree with you Phasec.. I recommend NAD to everyone who is getting into mid- and high-fi. I just spent the morning comparing the 521i cdp with a high-end tube cdp (BAT). The BAT runs circles around the NAD, but it is one example (IMO) of the ext... | |
| Nick Cave fans? Me, too (i.e., being a 5th rate RT)! RT has even been throwing in a Britney Spears song (Oops, I did it again) into some of his shows! What it proves, is that he's a musical alchemist!! He can make anything into gold...he's simply fantastic. Maybe... | |
| Small floorstander recommendations For about $1000, you've lined up some good choices. The rest is up to your ears!But if you're looking to broaden your list of possibilities, you might add some ATC units (SCM 7 or Passive 10). | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Michael HedgesLeo KottkeDavid BrombergJohn McLaughlinAndres SegoviaDoc WatsonBuddy GuyDuane Allman | |
| Any opinions on NAD quality? I like the NAD on the whole, but am going to make the switch soon. Probably to Arcam, but the decision is not final (plenty of time for you to steer me elsewhere!). | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Twl,Thanks for sticking your neck out. I agree completely and I will not be forced to submit to such behavior. We are becoming like the countries were once called our enemies! It is becoming more and more "risky" to speak out or to object to certa... | |
| Any opinions on NAD quality? Ogs20,Yes, the CD skipping has nothing to do with the CDs themselves. Just last night I was listening to a Stacey Kent CD that skipped. It had never done so before. When I reversed the CD to before the place it skipped, it then played fine. This h... | |
| Nick Cave fans? Interesting observations, Phild! But, "2nd rate Richard Thompson?!" At first I was offended, but then I reconsidered. Richard Thompson (with and w/o Linda) is one of my all-time favorite musicians/singer/songwriters, so at some level, anyone else ... | |
| Any opinions on NAD quality? I agree with Phasecorrect. NADs amps, however one might judge them sonically, are quality-wise, warhorses. My only complaint has been the skipping issue with the 521i cdp. | |
| Flipping the LP over ... I figured Twl would show up here! Whew, now all we Linn/felt mat people can feel vindicated! | |
| Overrated & Underrated Tweakgeek,Yes, but I love that form of grape juice! Thanks VERY MUCH for the suggestions. I live in Naperville, so don't get to all the Chicago wine stores as much as I'd like. I'm going to take a pilgrimage next weekend! Thanks.cp |
