| So I bought a WallyScope... I do not have a Wally scope, though I do have a microscope. For me, it is a tool to get close as well as see where the final by ear adjustment leaves the angles. Cartridges of the same type (model number) from the same manufacture can have diffe... | |
| Classical music newbie needs your suggestions @clearthinker ... £1 Maybe you got them all in the UK? : ) Apologies if your comment was sarcastic this comment is based upon taking your statement literally. I am near a US West Coast major metropolitan area. I find great classical vinyl al... | |
| Classical music newbie needs your suggestions I also would suggest going to a used record store or craigslist and buying a bunch (2 or 3 movie theater movies worth... or a week of Starbucks worth) of used classical vinyl or CDs ... and explore. IMHO it is a fun (and relatively inexpensive w... | |
| Classical music newbie needs your suggestions I second the support of Mozart symphony works. Also Bach Goldberg. Good starting points | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions No appreciation for the OriginLive tables? One rarely sees them on the used market and when they are ... they move extremely fast. They appear to have a very high cost to performance ratio (big value). They have a stelar trade in and upgrade po... | |
| Counter weights on your turntable...another dirty little secret? Good comments (some a bit hot ... wait are we on an audio forum?). OP thanks for sharing your experience, nice to see a newer audio fan share experiences. We all started there. My $0.02 is that I agree with those that suggest learning how to s... | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? There are still good deals out there... even on the big site, though you are correct, they are getting harder to come by. You are correct about the Amperex/Holland IBM stuff on Brent's site. Still some good deals there. Might try a couple. I g... | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? DeKay, Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful response. I have several vintage USA types (GE, RCA, Tung Sol). The immediate purpose of these tubes would be in the phase splitter of a mono power amp, so perhaps not as critical position as say... | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? Thanks for the feedback everyone and also the history lesson. My take away is that they are legit NOS tubes from the mid 80's, but not necessarily the end all in sound quality. Can anyone offer any comparisons between them and current manufactu... | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit I know I have less than a handful of posts. Long time reader. Thanks for reading my post anyway. Amir’s love is DSP... and that is ok. Inlow sound is a DIY horn guy (makes some impressive "homemade" horns), but he corrects them with DSP... a... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? All, apologies for the thread interruption..nandric I sent you a PM | |
| Anyone else attend the California Audio Show in Oakland? While I agree that the show was not the best location and rather small, it was nice to have a show in the Bay-Area. I hope they keep having it. | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. I prefer my OTLs of the non-cyclotron, low waste heat, non-autoformer variety. | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? @pennsy please repost with nasty bits removed : )I am not sure how number of posts make a difference on the recommendations. I was bored one Saturday morning and decided to try and add some helpful advice. My background is in electrical and comp... | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? @tjassoc You use a lot of technical terms which makes your post sound official, but you back up none of your claims with specifics on how a "audio PC" solves those issues. There are a few types of power noise (RFI, EMF, switching PS noise feeding... |
