| What audio components are heirloom quality? Great and commendable plan. Keep it simple! You don't know the extent to which your child will want to play around with the technical or tweaky part of the hobby. You don't want to overwhelm him/her; you want to promote an appreciation for music a... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Great topic! VTA adjustment on the fly is, for me, THE most important feature of the ET2. I find it invaluable and use it all the time. The benefits for me have to do with fine tuning tonality, timbre, and the integration of the uppermost frequenc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus,A change of pace is always a good thing!I left all the LP's upstate, so YouTube will have to do:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J5KYW441M4g | |
| VPI Hw-19 Jr. Thoughts? Agreed! | |
| VPI Hw-19 Jr. Thoughts? Well, the Classic is a very good sounding table; for a lot more money than a good HW19 MK1-3; but, it won't give you the flexibility to change arms that the HW series will. If by "better buy" you mean more bang for the same amount of $, I would sa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks. I don't know about the gentleman part, but the farmer part might surprise you :-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Eddie on flute:http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwrel&v=Wv2Q2ivSA1AEddie in the reed section of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. Checkout the reed section lineup; incredible! http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&v=4ZLvqXFddu0 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Been away for a while; hope everyone is well and doing lots of listening. The subject of the pit musician is one which very close to home so I wanted to have time to do the subject justice.The "pit musician" Orpheus refers to is not the same pit m... | |
| VPI Hw-19 Jr. Thoughts? The HW19 Jr. is not the same as a HW19 MK?. The Jr. uses an inferior bearing, platter and chassis. If you want the speed stability and tonal fullness of a full fledged HW19, the only thing you can keep from Jr. is the plinth (outer wooden box). I ... | |
| Subwoofer amp question. Thanks guys. | |

| Influential Producers Have never heard a Phil Ramone production that didn't sound great. If one likes a very very slick and overly organized signature sound, Quincy Jones. | |
| Oh no , not another phono stage rec I lived with the Jolida for a few months while my EAR was being modified. It is pretty amazing for the money. However, it is not in the same league as the EAR when it comes to natural timbres and natural rhythmic flow. IMO, it is not particularly ... | |
| Oh no , not another phono stage rec I know semantics makes these discussions difficult, but there is no way that an amplification device can slow down the tempo or speed of music. They may sound rhythmically lethargic, but not slower in speed. I've done a lot of tube rolling. Favori... | |
| Oh no , not another phono stage rec Well, I listen mostly to jazz and classical (mostly far more complicated, but not necessarily all fast); but also a fair amount of fusion jazz and classic rock. The EAR has PRAT in spades according to my definition of PRAT; that is, ability to let... |
