| Vinyl Record Cafe's I completely agree with you Oregonpapa. Tubes and a good "original" mono pressing knock a newbies socks off every time. | |
| Classical Record Labels and Recording Engineers... Rush,I don't see anyone mentioning Harmonia Mundi here or London Phase 4. Fabulous transparency on the HMs not to mention stellar performances of baroque and Renaissance music. The Phase 4s are spotty but the ones that work are like a party. Perha... | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING I own their best AC cord and ICs. Very good but the power cord is excellent. If you want to get quite a bit more from them get them cryogenically treated. Makes quite a big and positive difference. | |
| Cartridges and old man Actually Stringreen hit on a very interesting topic with regard to high end audio. If you go to Wikipedia and search Stradivarious they talk about double blind testing and how inconclusive it has been for listeners to identify the Strad from the p... | |
| Buying new vinyl? Scvan,Read my lips my friend. Digital sounds flat and uninteresting by comparison to analog. It isn't glare, at least not all of the time, it isn't record covers, and it isn't surface noise. This is echoed by most of my audiophile friends. I'm not... | |
| Buying new vinyl? Fabsound, I have a top quality analog set up. I have a reasonably decent digital front end too but never use it. I agree, digital always sounds like digital. I'm not talking about the digital glare of the 1990s but the flat lifeless sound which ha... | |
| Any advice on a turntable mat. Oyaide BR-12 TT Mat. You can find it on Amazon. Even at full list its only $100.00. I have friends with VPI Classic 3s who use it and it is incredible. Use a record weight or clamp with it for best results. Your arm will have to be raised 5mm. | |
| cartridge recommendations I'm sorry, but I don't understand the responses to your question johnm21.The Orpheus is no longer in production. It has been replaced by the Proteus. It has an output of .2 MV. I don't know what the maximum gain is for your Luxman but I would not ... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven OK, so let's say I agree with Syntax. I often don't or at least I don't like the way he communicates his likes or dislikes in this forum. But as a musician and as someone who has spent considerable time in concert halls myself, how much time does ... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Dazzlingmd,IMO you do not Have to buy a Proteus. There are improvements over the Orpheus, but not enough to warrant the expense even with a great trade on your cartridge. I purchased the Proteus because I damaged the stylus on my Orpheus and I had... | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? Why is this discussion in the analog section? Personally I'd rather listen to my turntable and records most of the time. | |
| Transfiguration Proteus I have had a Proteus since January. Superb and IMO superior to my Orpheus LO. No retipping available from this mfg but a generous trade in program. I know since I accidentally did in my Orpheus prior to making an excellent trade in for the Proteus... | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? Sort of what Raul is saying, the platform on which the TT sits is a major factor in getting everything from your TT. I can't imagine the Bardo not being engaging. I have heard it many times at shows and have always admired the table. Cartridge set... | |
| Where to improve phono chain? You don't mention if your TT sits on a decent foundation. An HRS, SRA, or Symposium platform will make a world of difference to you analog. Far more than anything mentioned here. You don't know what you already own until good mechanical isolation ... | |
| Any updated opinions on TW Acustics Raven GT/10.5? I'm a long time customer of Jeff's. If you chose the TW table you will also get a real friend in the business with him. You can buy with complete confidence. The TW arm is a fabulous arm and simple to set up. It's THE match for TW tables so I enco... |
