| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lewm Yes, I’ve read it a few times. I wish Miyajima and EMT would offer more of a selection when it comes to styli because I have a fairly sizable collection of mono from all decades with exception to shellac. And shellac is another topic altoget... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @elliottbnewcombjr The purpose behind my mentioning it, is that either stylus size might be perfectly fine for those Microgroove pressings. It’s rather confusing because some websites claim that the Microgroove stylus is a V shaped groove and othe... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? I meant to mention that there is a possibility that a mono cartridge will create a ground loop with a stereo phono stage. If the phono stage has a mono switch, than this will resolve any hum issues. @billstevenson As I mentioned earlier to what L... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lewm Sorry to verge off topic a bit but weren’t the grooves in the mono micro groove pressings wider than the stereo grooves but more narrow than the original mono grooves? | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lalitk So then the question is whether or not you gain anything by using this two channel mono phono preamp. I’d say that in this case, everything hinges on the design and sound quality. But from what I’ve read here, more than likely no, there’s ... | |
| OT: Espresso machines I think around 1996, I purchased a Krups il Primo for a few hundred dollars. It still works today and the coffee tastes so much better than from my Bialetti. Parts are still available on eBay. Anyway, not fancy but it makes great tasting espresso ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? There are some mono cartridges that will destroy a stereo record. Which ones I don’t know. Which mono cartridges are not strapped but true mono cartridges; the mono cartridges that house two separate mono coils or a single mono coil cartridge. The... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? When I started posting on here, there weren’t a lot of us and the amount of activity was significantly less. However, I was a bit more curious than I am now. DAC’s were relatively new back then and streamers were still unheard of. SACD/CD players ... | |
| Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence Buy a pair of electrostatic speakers but keep your current speakers for when the electrostatic panels have to be replaced. | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid Here we go again, evaluating DAC's soley based on the DAC Chip that it uses. | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? Edouard Vuillard Maurice Denis Ron Mueck Alberto Giacometti Lucien Freud Jules Dalou | |
| Just Getting Started With Headphones @mulveling Thank you for responding. I was told by many that the signal I hear is mainly coming from the power amp however no one gave me a percentage. If wrong about that, no big deal. | |
| Just Getting Started With Headphones @ghdprentice Thanks for the encouragement! I got so tired of having one of my Quad 2905’s in for repair and only being able to listen to mono recordings, that I was determined to put some kind of headphone system together. And now that I have, it’... | |
| Warm Sounding Portable Headphone Dac I have the Cayin RU7. Its possible to select the DSD 64, 128 or 256 which will change the degree of warmth. Very good sounding USB DAC for the price. https://bloomaudio.com/products/cayin-ru7?srsltid=AfmBOorwUr09oLIZp7KdofQN0pwvyK6X5zNH-NpX41I4AR... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? I don’t have a preamp and my sound quality is better for it. |
