| Upgrading My Vinyl Set Up I always recommend speakers first, component adjustment, then cables and finally vibration control. Never the source? I'm pretty convinced that GIGO applies to hi-fi as much as computers. | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II There is a very long thread about experiences with the Degritter here. I believe it's a fraction of the price of the Klaudio. | |
| Ortofon Kontrapunkt C vs. Cadenza Bronze It's back, and mounted on a headshell for an SME 309 arm. It definitely has, as far as psychoacoustics lets me tell, that addictive quality I remember. How come the Cadenza Bronze just doesn't sound as good? Who knows or cares? I'm about to do so... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II Yes, I have it downloaded already. | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II Not terribly helpful in answering your question, but I have no complaints about my combination of a Loricraft followed by a Degritter MkI. It is entirely possible that other things will be better still, but if records come out of my two machines s... | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... Cables- a quagmire separating the wheat from the chaff. I shall not ask if you refer to the cables or the listeners! Or, if I were to take inspiration from the grammar police lately active here, I'd point out the inefficiency of using a quagmir... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? My old Kontrapunkt C is supposed to arrive on Friday if the postal service works, after having had a new stylus fitted rather quickly. We shall have to convince @vasaudio to try repairing some Decca cartridges! | |
| Help me select few vinyl LPs Any idea what he likes? Personally, I wouldn't want someone to spend a bunch of money buying me new records that I might not like - for their sake as much as for mine. Or failing that, maybe offer to fund $x of discogs.com purchases? If you stick ... | |
| MONO Cartridge Stylus Shape: WHAT? WHEN? I want to be in the Will of anyone who pays $2,250. for a Mono Cartridge. I paid a mere $1,765CDN +15% tax for a Cadenza Mono, so I don't meet your criteria. I'll tell the lawyer to cross you off the list. 😉 | |
| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? If I thought someone’s system sounded "piercing" I’d be well-mannered enough, I hope, to hide my opinion. Imagine your friend prefers the warmest and richest of cartridges, even at the expense of detail. He persuades you to replace your "piercing"... | |
| Ortofon Kontrapunkt C vs. Cadenza Bronze I was just sent a video from Steve, so I thought I'd share: https://youtu.be/9klmK0h83Nc | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... I used to use all WireWorld interconnects, but I found it difficult to fit them all into the spaghetti junction behind my equipment (six sources, phono stage, pre-amp, power amps, headphone amp). So I replaced them with skinny cheap interconnects.... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum "Buffoon" is hardly complimentary. I see no reason why we should not be civil. I sent an older Kontrapunkt C off to VASÂ two and a half weeks ago, so I should be hearing about it before long. I have hopes it will be as good as I remember, and per... | |
| RCA splitter Splitters and Y-connectors are fine. I'd defy anyone to tell when one is in use. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" My experience with the Loricraft, when compared to the VPI 16.5, is that it does a better job of drying the record, and presumably removing dissolved cleaning chemicals. While I am currently experimenting with pure DW in a Degritter afterwards, I ... |
