| Devore Super 8's or Nines w/ Jolida 302? Go for the Nines....your space is large. My Super 8s are more than enough for my 13 x 19 room. | |
| Finger Prints on Records Good point Photon46!I have super acidic oils and didn't even think about it when handling vinyl. But I always hold by the edges with a single finger -almost dropped one yesterday. Finger prints I am usually cleaning are those already on used recor... | |
| Finger Prints on Records Almandog, I buy used records, some dollar bins which can have copius fingerprints. I am new to this type of cleaning, but luckily I started out with something that works well: Mobile Fidelity Super Deep Cleaner. I use a Mofi Record cleaning brush ... | |
| Well recorded records ... what are your picks? RE: My post above:I meant "in general" that recording/mastering in not on par with the genius of vinyl heyday. I wasn't referring to Keep It Hid. I think it is very good. | |
| Well recorded records ... what are your picks? What about current albums? Anyone here have picks that are relatively current (or back 5+ years)?I'd pick Keep it Hid by Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys)-2009. I think it is very well recorded. I am new to vinyl, so my collection is very small. I ... | |
| Upgrade Advice cart or phono pre amp Hi goldenear. I am curious of the opinions on this myself. If $700 is your budget for an upgrade, is this a small or substantial increase over your present cart and pre? | |
| Higher End USB Cables Mb9061, You likely would find the recent discussion here beneficial discussing the cables you mention. I use the Belkin Gold currently but have compared and easily hear a difference to a Kimber USB cable connected to my Brick DAC and Mac source. O... | |
| anyone listened to iTunes Plus on high end system? ^BTW, I hear a difference between AIFF and 256k AAC on my system (see link). I am not sure what you consider "high end"I recommend that you do the test with a few different types of songs.cheers, ed | |
| anyone listened to iTunes Plus on high end system? AberyYou must be using iTunes now since you asked the question-you can test the sound difference yourself.Just change the Import setting in iTunes Preferences and select AAC Encoder/256k. No need to reimport the test song though.Then in the main i... | |
| Which Blue Ray player to buy ? I agree with Cruz123, the Oppo BDP-83, is redundant to your current univ player and therefore you will be overbuying (I think it's around $600?). The panasonic BD35 and BD55 both have 2 channel audio out (the latter has 7.1 out). I have a BD55 and... | |
| Upgrade for TrueHD and 5.1= Better sound or worse? indie, I am with Swampwalker. if you are not going to have a dedicated HT 5.1 system to create the uber immersion experience, then decent speakers will suffice for the surrounds. I suggest, if/when you have a source and AVR that can provide 5.1 fr... | |
| Upgrade for TrueHD and 5.1= Better sound or worse? On second thought, the Usher center speakers are rated 4 ohm. That is usually not a recommended match for a basic AVR. Higher end AVRs can drive 4 ohms no prob but look into the particular Onkyo you are considering. | |
| Upgrade for TrueHD and 5.1= Better sound or worse? I found there is a noticeable improvement in the Lossless HD sound over standard dolby 5.1. I have a combo audio/video system with the priority on digital and vinyl audio.For movies regardless if True HD 5.1 or regular dolby 5.1 the front three sp... | |
| itunes backup suggestions I am on an older G5 mac. not running time machine. I also use SuperDuper with a pair of OWC 750GB FW drives. And like Drubin, I keep one drive off until I do a SuperDuper backup. Its a single click after setting up the type you want. synthfreek sp... | |
| Integrated: Red Wine 30.2 vs Bryston B100 SST Khingesiong,I'd say that the 30.2 and bryston are extremely different animals. I have not heard a B100 but from a feature/design perspective, the B100 integrated is a full featured component with tape loop, input switching, preouts/ins, with DAC a... |
