| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. Surprised no one has mentioned Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto yet. Right up there with The Nightfly in sound quality. Simply superb. | |
| Bands with great second albums Here are some more esoteric choices:Gentle Giant, Acquiring the TasteAmbrosia, Somewhere I've Never TraveledPFM, Per un amicoIceberg, Coses NostresGreat times back in the day! | |
| Phono Stage Adding a phono stage would be superfluous. The C2500 has the same phono stage as the C2300; the only difference in the 2500 is the DAC section Mc added as a sub-chassis.As far as sound quality goes, the C2300/2500/2600 phono section is one of the... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) More congratulations! You will be very pleased with the table and I'm very confident you will notice an immediate improvement. Do take your time setting up the arm and cartridge combo; the table will really reward extra attention there.Also cons... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) I don't have any experience with the Origin tonearms, so can only offer one observation. The JMW arm on the Prime has VTA on-the-fly. I consider this the single most important feature any tonearm can have. Even a minute adjustment can make a hu... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) I went from a Rega Planar 2 with a DV 23R to a SOTA Sapphire III with a Magnepan Unitrac I and another DV 23R. I've never looked back. Never had to add any tweaks; the suspension is nearly faultless and the build quality is superb. Playback is ... | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? The rig I purchased was called V8. A simple US tank with a home built rotisserie. No drying, just drip-dry. The guy used to advertise here. Not sure if they are still around. Not a KL or Audio Desk, but those things are crazy expensive. You ca... | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? Short answer: Yes, you will hear the difference.Longer answer: You may not like what you hear. US isn't magic and it can't do anything for damaged records. I found that several of my older vinyl copies weren't just dirty after cleaning them wi... | |
| Newer cars without cd players-what now? If you already have a computer with a CD drive, you don't need anything but some patience and maybe some software. It will take time to copy all of your CDs to the computer hard drive and that's where the patience comes in. Took me a 4 or 5 days... | |
| Klipsch Heresy 1 Compatibility question with Class D Amp @noble100 FWIW, the Class D I auditioned in November last year and owned by a fellow AgoN member. So, recent and up-to-date. I didn't care for it at all. Probably why I can't remember the brand. I've heard a few others, mostly in ADAM's active... | |
| Klipsch Heresy 1 Compatibility question with Class D Amp A contrasting opinion here. IME with the Heresy I, solid state amps were just not that much fun. They are hyper-efficient and move a lot of air. I tried several solid state set-ups from Sansui, Akai, Tandberg, B&O, Carver, Crown and others.... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers Sota is a great company: Excellent products and superior service. +1 for Audio Classics, too. | |
| Recommended phono stage to go with McIntosh Another alternative that no one has mentioned: You could consider swapping your C2200 for a C2300. That gets you one of the very best MM and MC phono stages ever made. Good enough that it made Harry Pearson’s reference system for a year or so shor... | |
| Thorens TD-203 experiences? Thanks for the head's up on the VE thread, @boofer . Read it over and it really does seem like the TD-203 could be a good choice for me; I really prefer neutral, uncolored playback. I am also a fan of unipivot arms, so that's another selling poi... |
