| Widespread Panic - Their best album? If your still looking for some WSP material I would say without a doubt Earth to America is their best yet. I have it on CD as well as vinyl. They switched producers from John Keene to Terry Manning & he has brought out some new textures from ... | |
| Getting into Vinyl... I think a SS pre amp is a fine choice. I would set a budget that works & search in that range. Analog is (for me) the most fun. There is so much you can do once you get an idea of what you are looking for. I would look at all the usual suspect... | |
| deadheads: Best sounding Dicks Picks....top 5 I wish they would re-issue all the DP's in vinyl, now your talking! | |
| DEADHEADS...TOP 5 SHOWS..... My favorite year by far is 1977, anything from that era just sounds right to me. Although, the Nassau shows with Branford or the Manhatten Center shows from '71 would also work for me. Too bad all I got to see was the last few years, better than n... | |
| Best bang for the buck turntable? You could look at it that way but I was really referring to cleaning chemicals. Either way will help the sound! | |
| Best bang for the buck turntable? All the other accessories will add up quickly, your records can never be too clean. I would find a great budget table like an older VPI, maybe a Thorens but stick with a belt driven table. Then spend some money on a chemicals, possibly make a home... | |
| Should I sell my Thorens? I have cleaned the stylus, set the stylus force & aligned the cartridge. The table does sound better but still not what I want. The cart was so off I can not imagine a "pro" did anything to this table. | |
| Should I sell my Thorens? I do question the set up, the cart doesn't look aligned to me with my simple turntable basics aligner. I thought about upgrading the cart, the arm & having it set up so at least I have a starting point but with all the added money wouldn't I j... | |
| Should I sell my Thorens? I see the cult following but I wonder how easy it is to beat the performance of the Thorens with a newer deck, doesn't seem to be any easy answers. | |
| Thorens 124/125/126 vs Rega P3/MMF-5 I would love to know the answer as well. I sold my VPI HW 19 MKII, Premier arm with a Grado green cart & substituted a Thorens 160 with a Grado blue & original arm. I have to say the Thorens can not even come close to the VPI. I was hoping... | |
| Tube amps to control VR-4jr bass? VSA uses Spectron amps to voice the speakers, they used to use Bel Canto but switched over to Spectron eventually. It is not uncommon to see the speakers used with tubes at a show, I ran mine with a BAT VK60 for over a year & was very pleased ... | |
| Best power amp for under 1K Monarchy SE-100 or McCormack DNA-1, after owning botjh I can't pick a clear winner. They are both very good amps for the money. The Monarchy is a little brighter sounding while the McCormack has a little mist to it. Either way you can't loose for ... | |
| Isolating Thorens TD160 turntable? I have been experimenting with this recently without the best of luck. I created a sand isloation box & still found footfall vibration problems. I then installed some cut raquetballs underneath the sand box & found the footfall vibrations ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine I would suggest you do a search for RCM, there are a few options depending on price & how manual you want to get. I am making a DIY version personaly. | |
| What is under your TT, cheap islolation? As an update, I cut some raquet balls in half & installed them under the isolation platform. It certainly helped with the footfall issues but if the TT does get moving the balls keep it moving, the needle bounced almost half way across the rec... |
