| Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue I agree with motif (my 2M Red is just fine for general purpose listening), and I'm given to understand that a very quick upgrade is to simply purchase a Blue replacement stylus and use it in the Red body. Run a search as this has been discussed h... | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? Ultimately, it really is all about the music. Gear that makes listening more enjoyable - yes. Anything else, no. Fooled around for years thinking the latest was the greatest. Then I got a Sony CDP-101 and realized that progress for the sake of... | |
| Turntable Options @skipk - This doesn't really address the OP's queries, but might give him some food for thought.My experience with DV has always been outstanding, and I feel they are one of the very best cartridge companies out there. My story: I had used the M... | |
| I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history..... Users are not permitted control of these things because they're "users" and not "customers." I was more irritated with the incorrect UPS shipping charge calculation on a recent sale. The app seems based on commercial location delivery, not resid... | |
| how do you handle your clean records? +1 cleeds. That's the method I've been using for 40+ years and it hasn't failed yet. Vinyl records are pretty resilient, too. The only time I've ever damaged a record surface was a vertical abrasion against a sandstone hearth when I was careles... | |
| Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it? Have most of their stuff and have seen them quite a few times and in different formats. The Yes Album, Close to the Edge and Fragile should all be in any progressive rock fan's collection. My personal favorites are Relayer, Tales from Topographi... | |
| Obscure bands Iceberg (Spain), Tantra (Portugal), Hawkwind (Australia)+1 for Ambrosia & April Wine. | |
| Please help value these speakers Can't clearly see the back panel of the Rogers, but if they are 15 ohm versions, they should be worth something like $1750, possibly more depending on how good the cabinets are and if they are in excellent operating condition. 8 ohm versions and ... | |
| 2 recent, weird and isolated issues with BD playback @tonykay @cleeds @oddiofyl Was just able to follow-up on this with McIntosh directly after trying re-initialization and checking for firmware updates again (none available). The 20th Century Fox BD problem is apparently a hardware issue since the... | |
| Help! My Magnepan tonearm finally needs to be rewired! Hi Greg & welcome to the forums. I was in the same boat a few years ago and had already had the arm rewired by Magnepan once. Thread string here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/need-a-magnepan-unitrac-i-tonearm-repaired. The 44 gau... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved +1 czarivey. I'll add Gentle Giant and PFM | |
| Blu-Ray vs. MFSL CD Thanks for the update, @falconquest . Sounds like it could save some wear and tear on my vinyl copies. | |
| Upgrade path The MC2500 is one of the amps that made McIntosh. It is a professional unit and there really isn't a current manufacture direct comparison that I'm aware of. Bullet-proof, outstanding sound quality. If you ever wanted to move into Mc, it would ... | |
| Half speed records, are they any better ? The CBS MasterSound WYWH is definitely improved over the other US and European contemporary releases, but has notable shortcomings IMO. I actually prefer my first generation CD to it; one of the very few I do favor in such a comparison. If I rec... | |
| Mc 2301 amps @richardallred You won't notice the heat. Even if you do, you won't care because of the state of audio bliss you will enter. The C2300 with MC2301s will rock your world. To make the most of the combo, I'd suggest you also consider upgrading you... |
