| Turntable Upgrade Advice @mmcgill829 I have not heard the Concept in a familiar setup so cannot say for sure how it would compare but the Feikert is solidly built and, more importantly, comes with a superior tonearm in the OL Silver. Since the table comes in below your pr... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice Not sure about current pricing but maybe take a look at the Feickert Volare. As long as you have a good place to site it it is a great value with the Origin Live Silver and you can upgrade it later to a higher end model like the Encounter or Illus... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @mijostyn frames the challenge correctly. As for footfalls and other structural borne vibrations, there are only two solutions—siting your table on the basement level directly on the concrete foundation (or forming a concrete tower that rises to t... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums I don't want to rain on the parade of enthusiastic posts here but this thread is a good example of why people should be a bit circumspect when coming here for advice on how to choose gear. As someone mentioned, the original post was pretty clear a... | |
| Record Stores NYC I second Academy, particularly for classical music. Great inventory of well cared for records and a nice size shop. | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? Been buying and selling equipment for years. Absolutely keep the original boxes and any associated packing and paperwork. When I buy I'm looking for this as part of any equipment purchase and would expect a significant discount if the original pac... | |
| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy @dsockel My point is that doing so will illustrate the fundamental design flaw in the Cadenza series—that the heel of the cartridge rides far too close to the record surface when properly set up and only gets worse when adjusting VTA toward tail d... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums +1 @hifiguy42 Absolutely love "Accidently Like a Martyr". @milo0812 "Night Train" is a great song and an equally great demonstration cut for percussion and high frequency response. Some really good tracks mentioned here--keep them coming. H... | |
| Which Cartridge Type and Value and best brand around 2000$ You need a high output MC or a MM/MI design—I’d say at least 2.5mv. | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k Daedalus owner here…some easy recommendations. LTA UL + integrated amp or Modwright KWA 100 + LS 100 which I just saw come up for sale here. I like the LTA better but both can be had at your price point and both are favored by Lou and other Daedal... | |
| Looking for Tonearm Advice/Suggestions I looked pretty hard at the Volare and I was going to put an OL Conqueror on it. I think any of the OL arms would be a homerun with that table but at least go up to the Encounter. | |
| Speaker Recommendations: Corner Placement Hey Guys—I appreciate the suggestions. I don’t think I’ve set myself up for success on this thread….there is only one corner and the entertainment center will be in it with the speakers on perpendicular walls on either side of the entertainment ce... | |
| Speaker Recommendations: Corner Placement Thanks for the suggestions so far. To clarify, there will be an entertainment center in the corner with the speakers on either side close to the back wall and therefore firing at 45 degree angles. I thought an omnidirectional speaker like the Ohms... | |
| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy It is normal for the Cadenza series and that’s why I would never own one. It is simply a poor design to have the heel ride so close to the playing surface when properly set up. Try playing a warped record at 45 rpm and see if it makes repeated con... | |
| Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers I’ve always liked Proac with Quicksilvers. |
