| Stereo cartrdge now playing mono!! The hum could be coming from the tonearm too. | |
| Mono Cartridge Question Lots of good advice here. My understanding is that a true mono cartridge can have two coils but that each coil is designed as an independent mono coil, one for the left channel and one for the right channel. There are many cartridges who entered ... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? If it were me, I’d live with what I have until I saved up enough to upgrade both the streamer and the DAC at the same time. | |
| USB yet again When I opted for a re-clocking and galvanizing component between the USB and DAC, my sonic quality sky rocketed. | |
| Am I Getting Soft Here? @arcticdeth my highest priced piece is my amp, which is technically an integrated but with separate power supplies. Then my electrostatic speakers, then DAC, then phono amp. And while it seems illogical to put a stereo together this way, I have ex... | |
| A** Kicking, Rock and Roll! This thread returns! I sent the link to this thread to my instructor back when, hopefully as an inspiration. I'm still needing to sift through all of these bands. Thank You! | |
| Am I Getting Soft Here? This is an odd hobby because price points are all over the place. When I go to the supermarket, I don’t see a half gallon of ice cream for $12.00 and then another one for $86.00. But look at tone arms for example. I have a lot of money in my stere... | |

| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB My Platinum Starlight is Serial # 03843 so I’ve had it for a while. But I wanted to say that it took my sound towards a different direction than a copper cable would have. The components these cables are connected to makes a difference so three pe... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. @jerryg123 'I am not going out on a limb here that Tiana Lemnitz did not face much of it until after May 1945.' Not sure whether this could be proven either way. | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Because I mentioned Tiana Lemnitz who was a prominent Nazi, I feel compelled to add that I know she associated herself with the Nazi view early on. Whether or not she did this to find work or whether she honestly believed in the demagoguery, I mak... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Tiana Lemnitz and for those of you who’ve never ever heard of her; | |
| Bill Evans Riverside Recordings Box Set is FINALLY IN STOCK!! I had a Riverside box set of the 1963 trio recordings with Scott Lafaro and Paul Motian and they were just all-right. Riverside left the mixes alone but cleaned things up however at PCM 16 bit/44.1 I opted to sell it for more than I paid for it an... | |
| I Mac or Streamer for source? or is there a difference? I used a Mac Mini combined with Audirvāna for years. I decided to try a Bryston BDP Pi / linear power supply to my DAC with a USB cable and that was better. For storage, I bought a SSD and I installed it into an empty case with a USB cable and plu... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @curiousjim My experience has been that all streaming services are about the same. Please let us know what you find out and feel free to mention certain titles, thanks! |
