| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings What recordings have you listened to that cause this effect? Please tell us. I agree with the comments that the quality of the recording is key. I have heard what you describe, to one degree or another, from even the most thoughtfully put together... | |
| Springs under turntable **** If you don’t mind, what was the VPI HW19 MK4 with springs supported by?What was under it please?****rixthetrix, the table sat on either a maple shelf on a Target rack or a maple shelf on a Target wall rack/shelf. The table’s stock rubber feet... | |
| Springs under turntable Great stuff from noromance and others; precisely the kind of thing this forum is supposed to be about, in substance and in style. Thanks.My sole experience with springs has been the removal of the spring suspension in my previously owned VPI HW19 ... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? You are applying an “audiophile” sensibility on steroids to the act of listening to music.

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Excellent observations and comments by Dover. His reactions to the three different cantilevers are almost exactly in line with mine and I rank the three in the same order.For me, the Ruby ranks a distant third, sounding rough and less refined than... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Talk about strange segues!Easy to make fun of for being "too white" and not hip (speaking of "agendas"), but Lawrence Welk’s band was a very good band made up of the best studio players in LA. Clarinetist Henry Cuesta was one of the very best. htt... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A reminder. Today is the last day of WKCR’s incredible eight day Bird marathon. In some ways today’s all day broadcast promises to be the most interesting by looking at the music of Jazz artists who were influenced by Charlie Parker. Check it o... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Both Ruby and Sapphire are the mineral Corundum. However, they each contain different amounts of trace minerals such as chromium which account for the differences in color, from red (Ruby) to blue (Sapphire); and shades in between. They each have ... | |
