CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl
Geoffkait Okay, I misunderstood as I thought both sides of the square had double stick tape. It has a smooth, unsticky side which the CD rests on. Good. Also, I misspoke as to the Walker Talisman. Of course it is the magnetism problem that it alle...

inna - Well I listen to a significant number of other poets in European languages, including much Yiddish poetry sung by great artists from the 78 rpm to LP era. The classical instrumentalist and vocal remasterings of about 30,000 78s on my CDs so...

What does the sticky tape tabs do to reduce laser light scatter?  Does the tab have special properties?  I use the Walker Talisman to reduce/eliminate static from CDs and LPs.  CDs show immediate improvement upon use.  In a Steve Hoffman forum, Ma...

Okay, I found the site listing for Dark Matter CD liquid treatment and a Dark Matter CD Tray square treatment.  I assume you are referring to the top of the tray treatment then since I thought it was for the treatment per CD.  Can you instruct me ...

geoffkait  Your CD dark matter is not a CD player but an additive tweak to remove scattered light from the laser.   It could be a phenomenal product but you still need a CD player and your tweak would be expensive for my 7000 CD collection.  I'm j...

A $50 Pioneer DV-05 modified with six capacitors and a higher end A/C cable will beat your Technics turntable.  Just ask Oregonpapa.  My friend modifies a 21 year old DVD player with dual lasers with just some cap to improve the power supply and s... 
MQA is Legit!
I'm not opting for MQA.  I know, I have 7,000 78s, 7,000 CDs and 25,000 LPs.  However, I agree with the comment a well remastered CD beats a bad LP of the same.  Often they are neck and neck.  LPs can have a more ethereal, open quality but CDs can... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
I also have performing and listening experience to live music.  I sing and perform with a 50+ orchestra in Los Angeles.  I've reviewed classical music for the UCLA Daily Bruin from row 10 as rows 1 and 2 had a bright, forward sound that I didn't l... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
I forgot the great Leak and Quad amps, low powered but wonderful.

geoffkait No, no, no. Some high end audiophile systems bring out the finest qualities of sound from all sources, including the worst sources. Sure, I’ve trashed many recordings LP, 78 and CD based on really poor sound quality. Now, my system is so... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
I 100% agree that there are many more excellent sounding lower power amps than higher power amps.  Most appear to be between 20 and 40 watts.  I have a voltage regulated (non-ultralinear) 35 watt Dynaco 70 that is superb sounding.  I have also hav...

P.S. Robert doesn't read Audiogon forums, so he doesn't know what Frank does to alter his system sound.

As to LP shelf space, approximately 80 LPs fit into one foot of shelf space.  Hence, 8000 LPs should fit into 100 lineal feet of shelf space.  I should know.  I currently have 25,000 LPs in my listening/storage room and 5,000 LPs in my storage she... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
As to performances, there are LPs and CDs which do not duplicate them or have equally good mastering/sound.   My Marston CDs of vocalists and pianists are not available on LP and often extremely rare originals (78s, Pathes, Edisons, etc).  They so...

I know for a fact that Hallographs are not cheap to manufacture. The wood costs about $175 to $200, as stated nice pieces of ebony aren’t cheap. They are not made in huge quantities so machining them costs another few $100s. Probably a 3X to 4X ma...
