| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? A potential problem with forgoing an official rebuild from the manufacturer and going with a third party retip service instead is that if/when you really do need a rebuild (for the other internals, etc) the OEM might not want to touch it if a thir... | |
| MoFi lawsuit @kennyc I questioned your premise, which you refuse to support in any way, except to say you’re too lazy. I produced some evidence to the contrary. You responded with a strawman argument. One of two here has difficulties with logic. It isn’t me.... | |
| MoFi lawsuit @kennyc So you have nothing to back up your erroneous claim. Thanks for confirming it. The MoFi aspect of your response is just a strawman. | |
| MoFi lawsuit @kennyc Besides, iirc vinyl cannot be strictly processed to be 100% analog using the current recording tools Says who? It's expensive to record to analog tape, but it is still done. And much of what MoFi remastered and was deceptive about wa... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey Yes, into a Naim Superline/SupercapDR + 252/300DR into Dynaudio Confidence C2 Platinum and a pair of REL S/510. The sound is sublime. The Lyra Atlas Lambda (SL/Mono) are a real game changer. | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @mulveling thanks for all your prior help answering questions. I ended up getting the Innovation as I hoped to. I bought the Piano Black version, with the 12" Universal arm. I kept the 9" Universal from my Ovation and bought a Lyra Atlas Mono for... | |
| How are we wiring our Mono systems? I am using a mono cartridge (Lyra Atlas Lambda) in my stereo system. My mono albums sound fantastic that way, and I really don’t understand the point to building a dedicated mono system. What does that accomplish that I can’t get with what I have?... | |
| What was your first record? My first album was actually three all at once. Got them as a 12th birthday present (August, 1970): 1. Grateful Dead, Workingman's Dead 2. Soundtrack from Woodstock 3. Jimi Hendrix, Band of Gypsies | |
| MoFi lawsuit @bigtwin whether or not I'm happy with my MoFi titles is irrelevant. MoFi was blatantly dishonest and misrepresented the product. I agree they should be punished. Maybe that will change the industry for the better, such that other labels who won'... | |
| MoFi lawsuit I have about 60 MoFi that fall under the settlement, which should be worth a couple/few hundred in credit to me. However, the paperwork for all those was too overwhelming for the return on effort, so I did nothing. They really should have forced M... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @mijostyn I have not toured in Europe. It’s on my bucket list. Maybe I’ll do a Trek Tour. I have heard good things about that. SRAM and Shimano electronic drivetrains work great for me. No one around here uses Campy on new bikes, and I think it’s... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @mijostyn I am getting a Moots Vamoots RCS, SRAM Red AXS 46/33 x 10-33, Zip 353 NSW wheels. I'll run 32mm tires tubeless. I ride gravel, a '18 Salsa Warbird Carbon with a Lauf fork, Shimano GRX Di2 38T x 10-42, and Easton gravel wheels tubeless w... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @mijostyn I’m 65 and still cycle about 5600 miles year. I don’t plan to slow down, although the last months have been on hold after a motorist in May decided their iPhone was more important than my safety. I’m just getting back to riding after sev... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @mijostyn I know you like to tinker and figure out how to take things apart and fix them. I think that’s awesome, but I'm really not much of a DIY person myself, although I know my way around my bicycles well enough. I really have no desire to try... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @mijostyn There is no compelling reason to rewire my tonearms while they are presently intact. That’s just a waste of money and time. They are fine for now. If the leads break I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, in which case I’ll probably j... |
