| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality I have a pair of Classic 150 and don't even bother listening to them until they have warmed up playing music for at least 1 hour, before that they sound harsh.They sounded great with my Dynaudio Mirage | |
| Doh! Modding vs. Selling Hifiman5 - yes I do my own mods. Although I have an electronics background my first significant learnings came in the late 80s from Audio Amateur. The learning process never ends and there are plenty of enthusiasts at diyaudio.com or audioasylum... | |
| Confused about Rega and VTA.... If you plan on using assorted weights of vinyl (which generally impacts vinyl thickness) optimal SRA is maintained via adjustment of VTA. If all of your LPs are essentially the same thickness, set it once and leave it.Yes I have VTA on the fly an... | |
| Doh! Modding vs. Selling I have been modding equipment for many years and don't worry about resale as I rarely sell, in fact I usually purchase used so the previous owner has already taken the depreciation 'hit'.In most cases I do the mods in steps rather than all at once... | |

| Movies that featured High End equipment More than one episode of The Blacklist has had a scene with a turntable. | |
| Last stylus preservative...anyone still use it? I use Onzow followed by Stylast before each side. Never had any issues with cantilever creep. | |
| Martin Logan Tweaks / Upgrades I have CLX and the have a vertical brace from the base along the entire outside edge of the panel, so the 'dowel' tweak makes sense to me. I also suggest/agree adjusting vertical angle makes a significant difference in the sound. You need to exp... | |
| Warm-up time. I like to play mine for at least 1 hour before any serious listening, it is all tube based except the DAC. My speakers are electrostatic (M/L CLX), the claim is that it takes some time to build up a proper charge on the stators, I cannot claim to... | |
