| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @glupson The deal would be in finding exactly the same recording, recorded simultaneously in both formats, and then have analog on vinyl and digital on CD or whatever other digital format possibleThis is exactly what Yarlung offer. The same sessio... | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? The bigger concern with wearing gloves to handle LPs is the increased risk of you dropping the disc. Holding and turning over an LP is actually a relatively complex hand movement requiring grip from both the thumb and fingertips, most gloves do no... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Is there any recording that exists as digital and analog at the same time? That would be the only way to compare without having objections that it is digital pressed on vinyl or vice versa.Reminds me of the old Linn Analog/Digital issue of tracks ... | |
| Is it true records are sealed to look better.... Yes, new LPs do need cleaning. This helps remove any residual mold release agent, any bits of paper or card present if they were sleeved in paper (as many still unfortunately are) and overall give you a nice clean disc to start with -- of course t... | |
| Which SR Blue or black Fuse Yes the SR fuses blow as designed! If anything compared to stock fuses they may blow more readily 😀 talk to your supplier about rating or replacement if you have issues with power on surges | |
| Which SR Blue or black Fuse you need the large fuse, as there can often be a turn on surge with this pre it is worth going up a size and using the 6.3A. That’s what I used in my Ref 40. The black is good but the Blue is better and benefits from less need for burn in | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @moonglum well as the owner of a full Vivaldi stack (itself further tricked up with a boat load of extra gee gaws) I used to think it sounded pretty good -- until I upgraded my speakers (now M3) and pre-amp (now VTL 7.5III) -- I soon discovered th... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Re things suddenly disappearing on Spotify this to me is one of the biggest downsides with streaming - you do not have any control over the songs you have identified. My wife maintains a number of Spotify playlists and regularly finds tracks vani... | |

| Stopping Vibration from Walmart trucks @acman3 we get it! All of the responses you received were relating to external subsonic vibration. That is the problem you are trying to work with and that is what springs, Herzans and the like will deal with. You cannot use a bass trap -- it woul... | |
| Stopping Vibration from Walmart trucks It does seem however that the OP has a secondary issue in so far as the room itself is exacerbating the sub-sonic issues. Bass traps will not help as they are also tuned to the audio range and cannot deal with sub 10Hz (think how large such a bass... | |
| Stopping Vibration from Walmart trucks Geoff -- as far as I am aware no turntable suspension (barring ones such as the Dohmann Helix with an integrated minus-K isolation system) has a suspension that deals with vibration outside the audio range. Agreed the Linn is exceptionally floppy ... | |
| Stopping Vibration from Walmart trucks The practical solution is to isolate the speakers and your stands using a spring based solution such as the Townshend products, or for that matter Geoff’s springs. If you are feeling flush (very) an active isolation system such as the Herzan table... | |
| Sourcing obscure classical or jazz albums The answer is DiscogsMany copies and many versions available from these sellershttps://www.discogs.com/sell/release/3696469?ev=rb(it's track #9 on this disc) | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla series IC users, please help with direction > of cable The arrows should point "downstream" i.e. from source to pre, or from pre to power. The active conditioning bullets (and LEDs therefore) should therefore be at the sending end, i.e. at the source for the cable running to the pre, or at the pre for... |
