| Is this an Upgrade or a Lateral Move? I am very sorry to hear of your loss, I wish you and the rest of your family the best dealing with it. | |
| What to upgrade next. 1st, Others here know about quality streaming, I haven’t a clue. 2nd, SignalNo matter what you change/add, you already know you need to solve your signal. Is your internet erratic due to your location, or can you upgrade to FIOS? Are you using wir... | |
| Just spoke to an old client of mine..........Avantgarde owner I agree, your room, and your future room when you move (a few times perhaps), can be different, even hugely different than when successfully auditioned elsewhere and purchased. Or, bought based on high consensus of reviews/owners.They may not seam... | |
| Potential Sound Quality From 1950’s Microgroove I think improvement for mono can be achieved, but subtle. LP's with grooves compatible for advanced stylus shape would benefit from change from spherical or elliptical. Most flexible would be a MM mono body with various stylus options you can swap... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. I have 2500lps, a great many my old ones, old ones given to me by friends (old dogs buying in the 60’s, 70’s, early 80’s, until CD became affordable). Many new I bought when CD’s drove LP prices down, primarily high end classical issues, newly dis... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? It should be fun revisiting this one year from now!!!I’m essentially ’done’.Speakers: Vintage from 1958: 15" woofers (re-coned), horn mids and highs, new rosewood enclosures. Spare drivers for next generation’s use.everything goes thru Chase RLC-1... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? If I had not already changed mine earlier this year, this would have been a very in-expensive jump into multi-arm and long arm world. The Denon 3000 is a darn good spinner, direct drive, but not quartz locked. It could easily be swapped for a Deno... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? I would be quite satisfied with your system and personally would not chase ’improvements’. IF you are tempted, especially if you play both mono and stereo lps, and go back and forth in the same listening session as I often do (or would like to), a... | |
| VACUUM TUBE AMPLIFIERS LX-380 ,any comment? I do not like your idea of Bowers 805 D3, certainly not with the luxman amp.bowers specs below: only 88db 1w 1m, that's low efficiency needing more power.yes those speakers with McIntosh MC275yes those speakers with Carver Crimson 275but, they ... | |
| Wall mounting on studs I forgot to say, I personally would never mount a TT to anything except vibration free concrete, brick, block ... wood studs, you are essentially mounting to the face of a drum. | |
| VACUUM TUBE AMPLIFIERS LX-380 ,any comment? never saw or heard it, just looked on their sitefeature set looks great, until I got to this Rated output: 20W + 20W (6Ω), 18W + 18W (8Ω), 14W + 14W (4Ω) That demands very efficient speakers, which I am in favor of, but by experience/instinct I li... | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming war of the worlds The album was one of the first recorded on 48 tracks, using two synchronised 24 track Studer A80s at Advision Studios in London. It was engineered by Geoff Young, who brought the recordings together with only a 16 channel desk | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming lewm1. ignore the #’s on the tt arm’s anti-skate dial, they are often way off. I prefer the notched rod/dangling weight of SME type, one of the features of the long arm I bought.2, start with the blank lp, whatever it’s made of, it get’s you CLOSE... | |
| Klipsch RP-502S in std stereo setup? interesting, I use these, specifically designed for a 'wide center' imagehttp://www.hifi-classic.net/review/dbx-soundfield-100-135.htmlthese Klipsch would be too wide for 2 channel music, poor imaging of all instrument locations, keep in mind, cen... | |
