| Cartridge forgiving of "non-audiophile" recordings and pressings I disagree that the better the rig, the better the sound on poorly recorded/pressed albums. IME, the better the rig, the worse the sound, simply because all of the warts and poor quality is now brought to the fore! This is unfortunately easy to he... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @headphonedreams IMO, the question is not whether someone should be pushing the boundaries of what can be done, but whether the result should be connected to some kind of value proposition. Or, whether it is simply acceptable to place the result ... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 Cleeds, striving for high performance always costs money, but there is money and then there is money...so how much is too much??I'm with lewm on this, to me...there is a principal involved here. Simple as that. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @noromance Pricing to the stratosphere is connected to pursuing the state of the art...how??Residing at the upper echelons of the industry?? Only to those who believe price equates to ability...IMO.No need to deal with too many annoying humans?--w... | |
| Cartridge forgiving of "non-audiophile" recordings and pressings I think that it is probably a good idea to dumb down the system when listening to most of the LP's that you are talking about. Not sure if this is a worthy cause, but it seems to be a requirement with these recordings, IME.I would consider a MM of... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers My wife's hearing is far superior to mine, and all other male hobbyists that I know. Now if i could only get her interested in listening to my rig, for more than 20 seconds!! | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 Here’s an opinion that seems to be unpopular right now in high end audio. Why on earth not make more of the product at a far lower price and sell many more to the ’general’ public, than make something that is priced so very high that it will only ... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @jili12 Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that. My OP was also more along the lines of why an ages old formulation of the vinyl, which was clearly so effective ( thereby not requiring brushes or any other devices) is no longer utilized, ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @mozartfan Remember, the typical vid you are watching on YT is of the original Jadis JA30, not the 30Mk2...which is a much newer design and frankly, sounds IME very different to the original. ( as it should, since the transformers and KT150’s are ... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @antinn Thanks for the research, that is very helpful. It seems that the coating is a Catanac Sn product that was mixed with the vinyl. Very interesting that there was some concern given to the fact that consumers should NOT have to deal with stat... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @audioguy85 While the felt mat probably does allow for more static build up, the issue was non-existent with the felt mat and the 317x treated RCA white dog. I happen to think that the original equipment felt mat is better sounding than any after... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @1971gto455ho Uhmm..No! | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? The real question when I read reviews is how discriminatory is the reviewer in question. Many times it would seem that the rave review, full of hyperbole,is given by the reviewer who perhaps doesn’t have a true standard that is high enough to guid... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! Bill, interesting question, what was in the JVC super vinyl? I was always intrigued by the fact that you could hold one up to a light source and see through the vinyl. This is apparently similar now to what is utilized in the newer MoFi one step v... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @whart Thanks Bill. I think the amazing thing is that we all probably have quite a few RCA’s with this stuff added to the vinyl. I know I do.Reading your link, seems to imply that some kind of off-setting electrical charge was added in the formula... |
