| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? What cartridge? And what mat if any? A laidback attitude or 'mechanical' flow are not characteristics that I associate with the gunmetal Micro’s I’m familiar with, nor with the FR-64fx...... | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? @bimasta,I have no experience with the SS-300, but several members here speak highly of it. I think they mostly use it with high torque DD's like Technics SP-10 and Victor TT-81.I did try the CU-180 with the BL-91's standard aluminium plateau and ... | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? That’s a beauty! Unfortunately I never heard it, but I expect the BL-111 to be a good deal better than the BL-91. Why? Well, for one thing the BL-111 has a 10 kg gunmetal plateau as standard. The basic version of the BL-91 (and the RX-1500 for tha... | |
| MC suggestions @fourwnds I'm wondering how you loaded you Grado Statement Reference? The low output Statement series needs to be loaded at 47k, just like the high output Reference series. I hope I got that one right, as Grado surely has the most confusing nomenc... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl @voiceofvinyl,I certainly don't have all the facts, but apparently the industry practice was either to send lacquers to foreign markets (used on location to press the discs) or to send second generation copies of the master tape and have the maste... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl Those tube based recordings from the golden age of stereo are incredibly lifelike, no argument there. Less (technology) was more. But the mastering equipment had a limited frequency range, so records made in those days could not approach the sonic... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl @voiceofvinyl,I must be one lucky fellow then. You made me go and play a number of my early LSC's and the background is just silent. For the record, I have cleaned all my classical records in three steps: Vinylzyme Gold, Quality Service cleaning f... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? Rock is not dead, it just smells funny....... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl @voiceofvinyl,I can appreciate your expertise as a veteran record dealer, but are you seriously suggesting that DGG is to be compared to Decca? It's a generally acknowledged fact that the vast majority of DGG records sound mediocre and dynamically... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Let's hope that in the end we're all crushed by the music...... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD The distinction between 'sound lovers' and 'music lovers' is totally artificial and not helpful at all. We can assume that the main reason for getting involved in this audio community is an interest in music. If not why bother? The other reason wo... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @rauliruegas Thanks for explaining AHEE. My guess wasn't too far off, was it?Do I understand you correctly when you imply that systems optimized for digital will also make analog sound better? Are you saying this because a digital source is suppos... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @rauliruegas I tried my best to follow your reasoning, but had a hard time catching its essence. It's no help that I don't know what AHEE means. It almost sounds like a conspiracy to hide the audio truth from us. The X-files of the high end? Surel... | |
| Sony PS-X9 This quoka.de site often has very attractive offers and you know what they say when something is too good to be true..... I've been burnt there once, so buyer beware.I agree $14.0000 is a ridiculous price, but at the other extreme so is €2300, unl... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @rauliruegas I think I agree with much of what you’re trying to say, but your distinction between ’sound’ and ’music’ is not very helpful. Music is organized sound waves, there’s really no way around this. What you could say is this: recorded musi... |
