| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? I bought my ASR power amp from the late Zed Hussain at Musical Sounds in Connecticut. I called him about an arcane tube preamp from some Slavic country and after talking with him for at least a half an hour, I purchased the amplifier. The ASR Emit... | |
| Network Switches The review on the Stack Audio Smooth LAN Regenerator used the Smooth LAN near the streamer and an Uptone Audio Ether Regen close to the modem. Seems like since the Smooth LAN is a re-clocker and passive filter, that would be enough. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus I'd favor listening to PDQ Bach. I saw the professor live at CCM many years ago. | |
| Thorens TD124 “Mk1”/Mk2 plinth Acrylic glass is non resonating. I would think that casting a resin sub platter in a polyurethane rubber mold would be relatively simple and would weigh a lot less than bronze. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus @dogberry Agreed, I wouldn't buy another mono cartridge unless I absolutely had to, just because I have a long list of other things that I think I need. But to be fair to DECCA, it looks like a nice cartridge and a line contact stylus is what I wa... | |
| Vinyl that is impossible to find Mono pressings on the Melodiya label. | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? I live near the University of Cincinnati and have a very good hifi. I used to attend recitals at the College Conservatory of Music but haven’t been for a couple of years. Occasionally I go to Music Hall but not often. Anyway, I’d love to host but ... | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable @nmolnar Thank you for the link. I was looking at Blue Jeans and your right, they are very transparent about their product. I have to wonder what kind of mark up there is on some of these more expensive cables. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus @dogberry I. would contact DECCA about it, preferably a tech person rather than retail. The stylus I'm using is a .65 conical and its been trouble free so I would try staying within the .65 to .8 range as I. believe a 1.0 stylus would be too large. | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable What about a fiber conversion kit? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P4ZS4QN/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=AK4611NBN3D7D&th=1 | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable @jetter From $1,000.00 to $10,000.00 is a huge mark but it may be realistic. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus I did get a response from Hana and it cited an explanation for their stylus; "A notable feature of the SL Mono however is that it uses a 1.57 mil wide Shibata stylus profile with narrow 0.27 mil side radius, where traditional mono cartridges u... | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable @ghdprentice Yes, I understand | |
| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable @ghdprentice The fact that I have a free standing DAC negates any possibility that I’ll buy an Aurender 200. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus @kennyc Agreed and if I'm correct, Monophonic popularity has greatly increased over the past ten or more years. I just wish boutique labels like Impex, Speakers Corner and Analogue Productions would take on more mono classical recordings. Mono Jaz... |
