| Best driving music. Still Life Talking by Pat Metheney. Great overall album, but Last Train Home makes me want to jump out of my chair and Go! | |
| What is your favorite cover? Late to the show…just listened to Joan Baez’ version of The Dire Straights Brothers in Arms from the same album. It can be described in two words (three if you count the and): Beautiful and Haunting | |
| VTF gauge Should have said few “hundredths” not thousandths. Outside say 1.75, inside about 1.72? | |
| VTF gauge When measuring VTF is there a “proper” place on the platter to set the device? I have a fairly cheap digital model and the meter reading usually changes by a few thousandths depending if I measure at the outside, middle, or inside of the platter?... | |
| "Dazed and Confused" about upgrading current speakers Sunnyjim... what part of the country are you located. I have some PSB T2’s. I’m in San Diego. I’m planning on listing them soonish. | |
| Splitter question Thank you all. The amp I bought her has 50k ohm impedance so looks like I will get the SYS and problem solved. By the way the amp is a TubeCube 7 from Tube Depot ($179) driving a pair of high efficiency (93db) Klipsch bookshelf speakers ($175). I... | |
| Splitter question Thanks Al...great feedback as usual. I won’t use a splitter! What is your opinion as to the switchbox with the volume control (which I don’t really need) such as the schiit versus the one without? Only need two inputs and it is for my daughter w... | |
| Splitter question No. I assumed I could only have one source on at a time to isolate the source I was playing? If both the tt and the cd were on at the same time wouldn’t both be going into the input at the same time? Using Audioquest hard splitter...1 male to 2 ... | |
| Splitter question Thank you! | |
| Splitter question Thanks donvito. The turntable I got her has a built in preamp so good there. Once the schiit is connected which volume control takes over? Does one need to be adjusted and left alone and the other becomes the primary volume control? | |
| Vinyl***What If*** freediver....I agree with much of the above regarding all the caveats about the expense and time consuming “costs” in albums IF you are seriously desirous of a quality system. I began with a much more basic system about 6 years ago and am now on m... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black tubluvr1....I (again) recommend you start with the 2M Orange cartridge and stylus. This is a great upgrade for your MH 2.2. The Orange is a nude fine line stylus and much easier to set up on your tone arm. The Black Shibata requires more nuanced s... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black The cartridge for the red and blue stylus is the same. The cartridge for the orange and black is the same but different and an upgrade to the red/blue cartridge. An orange and black stylus will fit into the blue cartridge but you will not get the ... | |
| Is the Music Hall MMF 2.2 a good table for an entry level table? I don’t think you can go wrong with that package for $225. As I said, in the future it can improve with an upgraded cartridge within reason. If you have an extra AT24 laying around that could be your first try but I think it would do well with an ... | |
| Is the Music Hall MMF 2.2 a good table for an entry level table? Does that price include a cartridge...if so which one? I “re-entered” the world of turntables about 4 years ago (had turntables in my earlier years). I bought the Music Hall 2.2 (might have been the 2.1 then?) and had the Ortofon MM Red installed.... |
