| Receiver Upgrade - Denon vs. Rotel If you go with the Rotel be sure to buy a universal remote. That Rotel remote is the biggest P.O.S. and probably won't last a year. | |
| Noticing the VPI Pheripery ring Thread-Which From reading the Galibier website it seems that Thom can make one for his tables as well. | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing Jond, as Rushton mentioned the Blackbird is a 2.5mV MC so I wouldn't think Powers needs a phono stage. However, you did make me stop and think that this could also be the first time that the phono circuit in his McIntosh has been used. If that is ... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing If my math is correct you've only put about 13 hours on the cartridge. I don't know specifics about the Blackbird but what you're describing is consistent what one might hear from a cartridge that is not broken in. I'd be prone to give it at least... | |
| Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good? Richmon, for the price range you mentioned I would suggest looking at the used market. You can get better bang for the buck that way. If your handy, you can build your own RCM that will work every bit as well as a VPI 16.5 for cleaning. There have... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing Rushton is right on. Also, don't forget that there will be some burnin time with the cartridge and wiring. Vinyl can be frustrating at times but also very rewarding. | |
| Why so many amplifiers for sale? You guys are sooooo '90's! I've got all my sources connected to my pc. Then I have the pc call my cell phone to hear the playback. Yeah, it sound like shit but it is waaaayyyyy cool! | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE -vs- Aesthetix Calypso? Well, I can't be of any help with this comparison. I can tell you that I recently put a Calypso up against my BAT vk50se. At first I was not impressed with the Calypso. It just didn't have the deep, wide soundstage like the BAT although it was mor... | |
| How Long Has This Been Goin' On - what artists? HI Qdrone,I realized that after reading about the band Ace on allmusic.com. Sounded like it had to do with the side work that Paul Carrack did with other projects while foating in and out of the band Ace. | |
| How Long Has This Been Goin' On - what artists? Qdrone, I vaguely remember that. BTW, all I did find a Japanese remaster from the orginal on Amazon. Wasn't cheap but I'm hoping that was what I heard on the radio since it sound so much ricer than I remember ever hearing it before. | |
| How Long Has This Been Goin' On - what artists? Rec, that is the same mistake I was making. As Garebear posted, this song I was looking for is "How Long" that was written by Paul Carrack. BTW, I think he also did a stint in Roxy Music. Sounds like that album Five-A-Side is the best that Ace did. | |
| How Long Has This Been Goin' On - what artists? Oh, yes. Definitely not a Gershwin! But I think the title is just "How Long". | |
| How Long Has This Been Goin' On - what artists? Thanks, Drubin. You nailed it. John, I'm not sure if this is the Gershwin tune or not, but the Ace recording is the one I'm after. I was very impressed with the depth of the sound, even coming through the FM radio. I'll have to look them up and se... | |
| Upgrade LP12 or buy new VPI? Cool! Have you had a chance to hear your Rhea? What pre-amp is it mated to? | |
| Upgrade LP12 or buy new VPI? Bryans,How much software do you have? You may want to consider the cost of that if you don't already have a good size stash of LP's. You already have a superb phono stage (I have one, too)so you're all set there.Nothing wrong with VPI, but there a... |
