| Educate me about DSD ‘If a title was actually recorded in DSD, then it’s DSD but if it was converted to DSD, then it’s only a shell’, so a recording engineer told me. He also explained that a DSD recording must play straight through from the beginning to end because y... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 @lewm The best advice I could give to a newbie is to buy a belt driven transcription type turntable. But even that comment would be met with disapproval. I’d also try educating that person on the various types of tonearms and how adding an after ... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 @lewm the best turntable under $4,000.00, I never made such a claim but this Realistic isn’t the first table in it’s class to be mentioned here. I read the original post but the conversation has been meandering from page one. The Technics is the b... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 An underrated turntable on the cheap, | |
| Best turntable under $4000 Acoustic Solid is similar to Transrotor but less expensive. You can buy one without the tonearm if you wanted to upgrade. Thomas Schick seems to be a fan of EMT turntables. Rega is a pretty safe option. | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? It would appear that smaller artisan boutique manufacturers will price their components at a comparatively higher price than a large company. If I were to order a DAC from some arcane manufacturer in Eastern Europe and there are only a handful of ... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? I’ve never seen Steve Earl but I saw Canned Heat in the early 1970’s. Anyway, the article is like an editorial page, what I tend to believe is true based on my limited scope or understanding. Every time I check the website for The Electric Recordi... | |
| Digital Cable Recommendations I’m going to buy a Cullen Crossover Series Power Cable for my DAC in a couple of weeks. It was recommended as a very good cable for digital and the price is unbeatable. I’m using older HiDiamond interconnects and speaker cables. | |
| Ozzy is done Growing up, Black Sabbath was ubiquitous as was Led Zeppelin and early Aerosmith but I wasn't a big fan. So I went to see Van Halen's first tour where they completely played their first album prior to Black Sabbath as the headliner. After Van Hale... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 Nice! | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 @bwguy That’s the thing about Clear Audio, you can spend as much as you want. I will say that if you’re around the entry level, upgrading the tonearm is a good idea if it’s financially feasible. The table matters too but the primary issues concern... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 For some unknown reason, McIntosh is taking extreme amounts of time regarding repairs, orders, etc... As stated before, McIntosh tables are made by Clear Audio. Their turntables mainly appeal those who have McIntosh systems and want to keep the a... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's @au_lait please clarify, You only heard what some business man allowed through the gate. Congratulations on your limited knowledge | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's Admittedly I find pitch correction software to be one of the most fatiguing things I've ever listened to. I grew up with the understanding that singing or playing with absolute pitch was expected and if someone didn't possess that ability, they pu... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's @kairosman New technologies have given us life like recordings. DSD 128 is jaw dropping. Listening to music live has and will always be my first choice but my inability to travel as I once did makes it so that I’m dependent on audio playback. We a... |
