| Reducing Background Noise On Records @geoffkait Glad you survived it!! Look at how the "Hound's" experience (GoT) with fire as a young lad scarred him both literally and figuratively. He is a mean dude now.😡To your credit, you have maintained your sense of humor and share it with ... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records @geoffkait Perhaps that's why you're listening through a walkman now. Puddles of molten vinyl!🔥 | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices @audiotroy I assume you commit an act of omission in not mentioning the musical preeminence of the Vandersteen "Carbon Tweeter" as in Treo "CT" and Quatro "CT" as you don't carry them. I think your basic assertion that "hard material" tweeters ... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? As music lovers and audiophiles, it is important that we trumpet companies like PS Audio and Paul McGowan in particular for its/his commitment to excellence in design and manufacture of audio gear. As we have read here in so many different thread... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? Good point @lak. PS Audio will and does stand behind their products and even, under appropriate circumstances, beyond the warranty period. One thing I am pretty well convinced about; Paul McGowan wants to make a positive difference in the audio ... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? PS Audio's production quality is excellent as manufacturing is now happening in Boulder, CO rather than in China as previous PS lines were. Example of the benefit: My China manufactured Premier Power Plant was not as robustly built as my present... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices Wow! After reading this thread it is clear why there are so many diversely designed loudspeakers. In addition, the terminology used to describe what we hear could use some refinement. Perhaps many posting on this thread prefer very similar desi... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices @kalili Good advice to OP. Probably need to start with speakers as their power needs will inform other system decisions. It’s a nice budget, but to maximize that money it would be good to consider speakers of reasonable efficiency. Once this is ac... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records The DBX dynamic range expander is exactly what it sounds like. It increases the perception of dynamic range. The 3BX does so with separate dynamic range controls for treble, midrange and bass.Since you have an acrylic platter, you may want to tr... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records Do you know if your cartridge is properly mounted and aligned on your tonearm? Unless your vinyl is of poor quality to begin with, that is what I would suspect could account for the noise you're experiencing. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @geoffkait Did you mis-type the following: " I’m not (rpt not) disputing the break in, I’m disputing the claim of being able to hear it. That’s all."How can you, of all people here make such a claim? You have claimed countless times in a wide ... | |

| Looking to upgrade a Dynavector 20x2L on a Scoutmaster Signature The Dynavector cartridge you are listening through has never been known for the sonic qualities you note in your posting. I have the same cartridge on a VPI Scout and the sound is spacious and alive with great dynamic ebb and flow.A question. Ho... | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? "You can never have too much amplifier power". A good audio rule to live by. | |
| Article about us Audiophiles: 'Audiophilia Forever' A great read. A compressed sense of a longer journey. What struck me was the Nordost cables. I haven't read anything very positive about them in some time. I wonder if other cable innovators haven't eclipsed the Norse gods. |
