| Best earphone for the value @shkong78 you really need to try them to see, this is where attending an audio show like the upcoming T.H.E. Show in LA is a good idea so you can see and try a bunch of options. | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ So after a recommendation from Ron Hedrich at Marigo, who is now a PPT dealer, I took the plunge and had the Gate installed. My system already has some pretty extensive power conditioning (dedicated 40A 240V line with SR treated breaker and ground... | |
| Anybody planning on attending T.H.E. Show in Long Beach next month? Actually it was another show (The Los Angeles Audio Show, LAAS) that was cancelled last minute in 2018 -- T.H.E. Show actually went ahead (after being cancelled the year before!) So lets hope everyone is on firmer footing this time around -- unfor... | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? Just so happens Kuzma are showing a full range of passive and active platforms in Munich now including one model they distribute which is made by TableStable/Herzanhttps://www.monoandstereo.com/2019/05/kuzma-at-munich-high-end-audio-show-2019.html... | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? @inna that is a nonsensical comparison. The task of a stylus retracing the groove is to all intents exactly the same as a microscope or scientific instrument and hence solutions that work for the latter will assist the former. This is one area at ... | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? Also adding seismic isolation will also potentially change the sound of the tableAs @noromance noted I have always found that the more rigid the support, the tighter, more incisive and clearer the soundThe same is true for true seismic isolation -... | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? @rsf507 - You gets what you pays forVibraplane ELpF 95% at 10Hz - and a rather pronounced bump at its natural frequency of appx 2Hz - $2.5K plus compressorMinus-K CT-1 99%+ at 10Hz (vertical), 95% or so (horizontal), natural frequency vertical 0.5... | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? Adding more mass to your setup is unlikely to address the one remaining source of vibration that you are not currently tackling -- subsonic or seismic vibrations that are being passed to the table from earth and result from traffic, construction o... | |
| Best earphone for the value I did try the Moon Audio on my 846 but hated it and sent it straight back. CA make their own upgraded wire (which I have on my Andromeda's) which is more open and natural sounding than the (good) stock cablehttps://campfireaudio.com/shop/aloaudio-... | |
| Best earphone for the value Agree with you @millercarbon since getting the 846 and a cheaper A&K DAP listening when traveling has given me an entirely new insight into my music collection. However I quite quickly swapped out the 846 for the Campfire Audio Andromeda -- a ... | |
| Help with room treatment? What’s the rug made of? If it’s synthetic try replacing it with a similar natural wool rug. Synthetic rugs no matter how plush or comfortable impart a harsh tone. I’ve fallen into this trap a few timesplus the suggestions from millercarbon are goo... | |
| Help with room treatment? To add pictures best thing to do is to create a system herehttps://systems.audiogon.comThis is way you can keep it updated as things evolve | |
| First Turntable - Direct drive or Belt drive? For collecting LPs Discogs is a godsend, even if just for checking prices. My practice is to often buy a cheaper repress to see if I like it and then hold out for an original. What are your tastes in music? | |
| Sorry to ask this SACD question, but What @bill_k said, run the analog outputs into your main system and enjoy! You can even switch between the CD and SACD layers to see if you prefer what DSD brings over red book, you just cannot use your stand alone DAC | |
| Sorry to ask this SACD question, but By the way neither of the two players you link to will output anything other than 16/44.1 digitali believe some of the Oppo players may allow for SACD (DSD) outputas I just use a dCS stack it all works peachy for me, but that’s not helping you, sorry |
