| Why aren't all modern vinyl releases 45s? Another practical point for 33 releases is that any given album takes half the space in your shelving, leaving more room for your collection*. Prioritizing the 'ultimate' sound quality against the experience of playing a record and record storage... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? I’ve been using the same pair of Yamaha NS1000M since 1977. Added a Velodyne ULD-15 Series II in 1990. | |
| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? Guys thanks for all your responses. I was really trying to see if one of the collector organizations had previously set a standard. I'll take all your tips into account. Best to all. | |
| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? OK! Maybe I'll see if I can come up with a useful standard here. Thanks for your help! | |
| Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord? @lewm- could you help me with specific makes and values for the caps you mentioned above? Many thanks. | |
| New Rega Planar 6 You might want to check this thread at a Rega owners site: discussion of build quality and plinth 'sagging': Rega Planar 6 plinth saggingI'm a longtime Rega owner, fwiw. | |
| LAST record preservative improves the sound I just received a shipment of four Discogs LP's that the previous owner had treated with LAST and I was knocked out at the apparent increase in S/N and clarity. I'm considering becoming a convert. | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Yamaha NS1000’s here since about 1976, with a Velodyne ULD-15 Series II subwoofer since around 1990. | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions Thanks to all for your help! It's much appreciated. | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions I do apologize to all: I mis-stated things*. I have an MM cart (Shelter 501II) and have the Threshold phono pre set for maximum gain. As to "noise": it's hum, really. There's no noise issue.If anyone knows the best capacitance setting for a cart l... | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions I love the preamp, which is all-original, unmodified. The problems: It just doesn't seem to have enough gain to work with a Shelter 501II and Threshold FET 10/e line amp: I have hum problems I don't have with my Heed Quasar. AFAIK the Threshold ha... | |
| Shelter 501 mkii then what now I have only used a SS Level 2 stylus on my 501 since buying it used: under a microscope it the original stylus showed a lot of wear and the seller kindly and immediately paid for a retip. Pretty cool.So: the Level 2 is revelatory for me, particula... | |
| Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6. The RP3 and RP6 plinths are totally different. The RP6 is made from medium-density fiberboard as opposed to the coarser particle board used for the RP3. The finishes, obviously, are worlds apart. The braces are different: the top brace is a sandwi... | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus FWIW Soundsmith strongly discourage use of fluids except in emergencies. Edited from their document-"The DRY soft brush is good, but far better is to use some "fun tak"... just before or after every play [and they go into the blu-tak method]..."Us... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? My daily driver,driven winter and summer in Maine. 170,000 miles now. I haven't really given much thought to a replacement. Maybe an Audi A3. As to the ideal- honestly, I'd love to get my hands on a low-mileage replacement 968. |
