| Hi-Fi Lingo and What we should be listening for Frankly, I hope you ARE stirring things up. There is a lot of "mumbo-jumbo" talk in the audiophile universe. It ain't a scientific discipline - though certainly aspects are amenable to scientific study. To me the whole "hobby" is like wine tasting... | |
| Review: Vestax Handy Trax Turntable Thanks Zaikesman. I enjoyed reading that. Good idea. | |
| Tube upgrades for Jolida 502B? Thanks to all. Interesting that no one advocated 6550s. I'll follow up once I make a decision and actually do something. Thanks again. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Listening to Laurie Anderson's "Mister Hearrtbreak". Am going NUTS because it sounds so good ! | |

| Electro-Harmonix and Sovtex tubes Cleaneduphippy - Just posted a thread asking for input on tube upgrades for my 502B. Curious what direction you took if you don't mind sharing. Did you go with 6550s or KT88s? What mftr.? | |

| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? Dawgbyte - I enjoyed the thread you started! | |
| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? Apologies for continuing this non-music discussion, but AMEN TO THAT! (though I'm not certain Vietnam was a civil war), none the less and further to Kurt_tank's point, I guess we should just kiss off the 6 million or so Iraquis that risked life an... | |
| DJ Cartridges - have you tried it? I also own a KAB modified Technics SL1210M5G with KAB modified Stanton "DJ" (Groovemaster) cartridge. Am very impressed with the wonderful sound from this setup. | |
| Best sounding cd in your collection As a present, I received a copy of a CD entitled, "JON CLEARY and the absolute monster gentlemen. BASIN STREET Records. It is a 2002 recording. AMAZING sonics. Hope some of you will check it out. www.basinstreetrecords.com OR info@basinstreetrecor... | |
| Best inexpensive interconnect/speaker cables? I have a Cambridge Audio D500SE CD player connected via JPS Labs Superconductor FX to a JoLida 502B. The change from factory interconnects (simultaneous with changing speaker cable to JPS Labs Ultraconductor) really made a big difference. |
