| Top five live Rock And Roll Albums All the albums listed are "Rock", not "Rock and Roll" (pre 1965)! | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Ampzilla 2000 mono blocks by Spread Spectrum Technologies (Wired4sound).A real sleeper - great sounding amps that can go head to head with anything! | |
| Kind of Wow and Flutter. KOB is not a perfect recording, like many blue notes.The image of Bill Evans piano is ridiculously small, and on many versions the brush-on-drums can not be heard.I have never noticed "wow and flutter"! | |
| Kind of Wow and Flutter. The standard CD release was also speed corrected in the 90’s.The original was a third of a semi-tone fast on side one I believe. Not an annoyance to most listeners, I assume.Strange that this was not widely known for 40 years! | |
| MQA - Music Discussion MQA will flop IMO! | |
| Is Audio nirvana real? I am also done, I just buy music.No new equipment unless something breaks. I am spent.I keep coming back to this site, just to stay in touch with tech, in case I need something replaced in the future. | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? An 8" woofer and 1" tweeter results in, "less than great music", in any sized room, IMO!The crossover frequency is right in the middle of the midrange, and that is not optimal.Go three way, or full range panel. | |
| VPI 3D printed arm mod. Proper adjustable pivot damping has always given me an "across the board" sonic improvement with every cartridge!It is a must have adjustment IMO! | |
| VPI 3D printed arm mod. VPI should just add pivot damping back, to the 3D arm, like their older JMW arms, which had no stability problems. | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? Not really!No one company makes all the best, or can even guarantee the best synergy, within their brand.And yes, there can be the best of synergy, with the right mix of brands! | |
| How did you choose your equipment? Elisabeth now posts under the name Smelly_Socks on the Audio Asylum. | |
| Outboard crossover? Why not? Magnepan eliminated the external Xover box on the 3.7 and 3.7i, only because they felt it was an eye sore.It eliminated the bi-amping option, which I liked. | |
| So Long It's Been Good To Know Ya So the new ADS has no AC line regeneration, compared to the SDS?I guess VPI has no noise on their incoming AC, that they can hear?This is wait and see, IMO. | |
| VPI 3D printed arm mod. Fremer’s mini review notes "no audible improvement", just a "psychological" feeling of more stability, before playing in the groove.What about increased friction screwing with anti-skate?Nothing of significance here IMO! | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Older VPI is the clear choice. |
