| arguments against starting a vinyl collection? Karmapolice, IMHO, don't bother with Radiohead, Porcupine Tree and other such bands on vinyl. With all of the processing and digitization these bands use there is no point in recording it to vinyl. This is exactly why I keep both analog and digita... | |
| TT+tonearm under $5k I often suggest buying used as the best way to go. But with the budget of Viper_z and the availability of the Serac this becomes a no brainer. Disclaimer, I'm a very satisfied Gavia owner. Your getting the same bearing and motor as the higher pric... | |
| Soiund pressure levels Watts have nothing to do hearing issues. It's all about decibels. You can google lots of information on sound level and hearing loss. And, be very careful with listening through headphones at high volumes. That can be worse than listening without ... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue Jloveys, let me be clear. The third paragraph of your second post was not really necessary and sounded, to me, quite rant-ish. I hope these guys do make some money so maybe they and others will not be dissuaded from offering other series in the fu... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue I disagree with you a bit, Jloveys. Yes, you have expressed your opinion. But you have also attempted to disparage this series and the folks who put it together. You come off as having an agenda. Perhaps that is not your intent, but that's what it... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Ha! I used to own a cabin in Glenville, N.C. Anyway, I'd suggest contacting Thom and Chris. They might be able to put you in contact with someone. There are many audio folks who don't spend time on the 'net. | |
| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular Dcstep, If you ever get up to New Hampshire you'd be welcome to come by and hear my Edgarhorns. All speakers have some colorations and these are no exception. However, you will not hear any midrange honk. I also did not hear that from Azzolina hor... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Opus, where are you located? Perhaps there is someone close to you that owns one of these tables? Based on your description of your experience with the VPI and Sota, I think you will very much like what you hear. The Galibier and Teres are not war... | |
| Are interconnect cables worth $15,000? Why the hell is this CABLE thread in the ANALOG forum? | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres I think they are more alike than not. I find them both to be very accurate to what is on the LP and both have a very low noise floor. It is very hard for us to know what a relaxed, softer sound means to you. When I first read that I thought that p... | |
| Sound-Smith retip time frame?? In my case it was 6 weeks, but that was early last fall. They are probably very busy and sometimes travel to demo the strain gauge system they make. Peter told me they would not rush the job so rest assured your Lyra will be done right. | |
| SET friendly speakers w/ slam? Edgarhorn Titan IIs. And I agree with those who say that slam comes from the mid-bass. | |
| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? BTW, to those who sent me email. Hope you don't mind if I answer here so I don't have to reply more than once. Long story short, this thread contains the sum of my experiences. Maybe not in any detail, but the high points are here and not just in ... | |
| Why Can't Tubes Be Mass-Produced Cheaply? Albert's point is well taken and something I mentioned earlier. If the circuit is demanding, like driving real hard or whatever, then there probably are tubes that work better than other. Maybe NOS, maybe not. I have also had good results with new... | |
| XV1-s vta? Shouldn't be up much, but yes. Mine likes a little positive VTA.P.S. Don't worry about it too much until you get about 50 hours or so on it. Then you can drop VTF down around 1.88-1.93 or so and revisit VTA. Also, by then you should be able to lig... |
