| What is turntable “liveliness”. @lewm Thanks. | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? @kota1 I am glad you have hope for me. I would hate to think I am hopeless. | |
| First Tube amp suggestions @1extreme Sounds reasonable. I took out my first loan in 1979 to buy a Threshold s500 ($18K in todays dollars)… designed by Pass.. the finest solid state amp of its time. Over the next forty years I upgraded to a Pass x350 and have had exten... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. @pindac Thank you for your thought provoking post. I need to think about what you have written. Also, what is a TA? | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. Thanks for all your comments. Anyone familiar with the term “ lively” as applied to turntables? | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. @ossicle2brain Thanks for your comments. To answer your question, I think you need to spend time with some quality turntables maybe at a couple levels. The difference is like day and night, once you have heard the profound difference in sound, y... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? While liking music is nearly universal, the importance of fidelity varies from completely unimportant to passionate. I knew a guy that loved music… worked in a record store so he could listen, be exposed and collect more music. He had a portable p... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. Yes. Turntables matter enormously as does the arm and cartridge. I am very aware of that as are most of responders. I have heard many turntables from $1K to at least $75K. | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 I walk a couple miles in the forest with my dogs, ride my bike at least five or six miles. So, getting up is simply hard and uncomfortable for me. Having said that, when I play an album… a couple times a week, I like the ritual. My 2,000 album... | |
| First Tube amp suggestions I just want to say after being an audiophile for over fifty years. The thing that increased my enjoyment of audio more than anything was moving to tube amplification. The enjoyment level is simply so much higher it is incredible. I no longer sit a... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights Thanks for reporting back. I think you correctly assessed the info… light weight clamp. I know my TT would not do well with a heavy… perhaps even a light weight. | |
| New finds In Record Collection Certainly good advice. I happily did a lot of that kind of purchasing for my 2,000 album collection so it is surprisingly easy to find albums I haven’t heard in a couple decades. | |
| Do I REALLY need preamp and what do I upgrade the amp too? Typically running a DAC right into an amp will give you great clarity but be drained of the soul… the musicality. As many of us experienced audiophile say the preamp is the heart of the system, where the magic comes from. High quality sound can be... | |
| Class A integrated amp recommendations I mentioned I got the list from an AI and it was unverified. | |
| what preamp goes best with mccormack dna 500, follow up.... If you are seriously thinking of changing speakers I would do that first, then adjust your components to optimize the sound quality for the speakers. Then do cables and powercords. |
