| Most satisfying system change in 2017? @inna ill try those out. Should be able to source those via Craigslist easy enough. | |
| What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year? It'll be a few months but I bought myself a custom phono pre from Tom Tutay that will have dual vol. controls and an extra input for ...?, along with 2 records by Gary Wilson and the Blindates who I caught for the first time recently. | |
| Replace 2M Black or new phono? Keep the cart. I'd get the speed control for your table first. Damn fine table but the speed control is mandatory. Your speakers are 93db efficient and with that I'd say go integrated tube amp w/ phono. The Primare btw was way too polite in my sys... | |
| This guy just doesn't stop... I heard him on NPR once being interviewed by TerryGross. He came off pretty bad. He tried playing rock star like the interview was beneath his coolness and ended up sounding like a real fool. Bad interview possibly and maybe misjudged the moment a... | |
| Decca carts Thank you Bdp24 for the heads up. I hadn't considered an accidental turn of the platter and how that could effect a cartridge like a Decca/London. I was referring to the current London cartridges. Regarding the arm requirements I understand they ... | |
| Decca carts I've read about their qc problems and was thinking new or a used one that John had gone through. I do not want to ameliorate the positives of the Decca at all. Creamy may have been to strong an adjective, but I do like a bit of it in my coffee and... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! it's taken me a long time and a lot of listening and trying different ideas. But tonight I got a little closer, I used a tape measure. I realized I was 3/8 off on the toe in and I moved a bookcase back so as to adjust the angle of an absorption p... | |
| David Crosby If Only I Could Remember My Name SpeakersCorner is very good as is Garcia's pedal steel on Laughing. | |
| 50 of the best hi-fi albums for audiophiles A friend brought over Darkside-Psychic last night and it is a great sounding record and very cool techno stuff. Not surprised it made this list. Not my usual go to music at all but I just ordered it and the another couple titles as well, Junun, Mb... | |
| Most overrated bands I thought Sigur Ros was overrated. Not bad but they were a head scratcher for me until I went to a concert. I got it from that point on. I can't really explain it as I was not high or anything. In fact the night was off to a pretty rough start and... | |
| Lee Morgan Documentary I really enjoyed it. I'd like to see more things about the era and personalities, stories, the fashions, the personal and historical issues I found it all pretty fascinating. One question I have to answer for myself is "Jazz", and it was interesti... | |
| Lee Morgan Documentary Thanks for heads up!! Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Does anyone else feel like John Abercrombie's last record title Up and Coming was a wryly humorous wink and wave goodbye. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Anyway great record. | |
| Is this my imagination? I had a wide ikea rack that I now use for records only that I put my components on for awhile and when I changed to a basic component rack the soundstage improved quite dramatically. | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? I have only used Grado carts. I briefly tried a Dyna 17d3 through one of Bob's Devices. I much preferred my Sonata. I thought about 2500.00 retail for the step up and cart combo would give me a good mc taste. Price not including the IC. I currentl... |
