| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dvorak's 9th - new from DG Original Source - WOW. Mayall - Blues Breakers Joe Sample - Ashes to Ashes | |
| Open baffle speakers I have a pair of DIY 8" OB from the Decware site. VERY happy with them. I like them because of their efficiency and no xover - so very simple. The signal goes from my TT to pre-amp to amp to driver. cabinet is MDF and front is 2 x 3/4" maple. | |
| Kris Kristofferson was just listening to Janis' version of Me and Bobby McGee - my fav version still. Loved Kris.... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition +1 inagroove. I would highly recommending experimenting to see what works. It's just water and plastic/vinyl, so you won't hurt anything. I have about 1200 records. I have two processes, both using CleanerVinyl RCM. Have had the RCM for about 8 y... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone +1 @bdp24 - I use a sandwich of granite from my local kitchen counter shop + leftover 3/4" oak + the acoustic wall damp material. I think technically you are supposed to use 2 different materials separated by the acoustic damping material - there ... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone +1 bdp24 - I used granite from my local kitchen counter place + leftover 3/4" oak + a sandwich of acoustic wall damp in between the two. For me, it tightened up the bass + it does work when I rap on it with my knuckles - ie no noise thru speakers.... | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade @grislybutter - ah yes, but think how good your 'garbage' would sound if it had clean(er) garbage coming in. | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade Bit of a philosophical question. I am a big believer of garbage in = garbage out. So if the signal going in to your speaker sux, then the sound coming out will suck. Someone did a survey a while ago, and my GIGO is definitely in the minority. | |
| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor Love both JT and MK. My 2 cents.... Gordon Lightfoot - Did she mention my name; Canadian Railroad Trilogy; In the early morning rain; Beautiful; Richard Harris - MacArthur Park - my wife hates this, but I LOVE the arrangement Beethoven - 6th S... | |
| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? @mahler123 Thanks! Discogs has a lot of interesting info on Teldec, Telefunken vinyl and the Decca relationship. Strange bedfellows as they say, esp after WW2. | |
| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? yeah - did some more homework this morning. Discogs actually has a ton of info and it answered all my questions. Thanks. | |
| Want to build a rack with sandwich layered dampening Another option would be to build bases for your equipment. I used the material that @bdp24 mentioned, and sandwiched that material between oak and granite from my local kitchen counter store. My amp and pre-amp and TT are sitting on those, which, ... | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations @chasjs - read the same article. excellent. but yeah, long and incredibly detailed. | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations @jasonbourne71 : Tap water is bad for records! It is loaded with minerals! Use only steam distilled water! I buy mine at my nearby supermarket - $1.39 a gallon. About dogs - they shed not only hair but dandruff. It’s there even if not easily visib... | |
| Need A High Compliance Cartridge I just purchased a London Decca Super Gold. No idea what the compliance is and no idea what your budget is, but the sound is incredible. Cost is around $3k - if its anywhere near your budget I would highly suggest checking it out. The design is to... |
