| The Lifespan of an LP? I don't do ultrasonic clean or spin clean every time. I do carbon fiber brush clean each play.However, after 50 times or so play after a few years without spin/ultrasonic clean, I start hearing more pops. With a regular brush clean I can easily se... | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? Usually after about 20 plays or so I start hearing some small pops. They are still negligible. Maybe after 50 or so, the play noise is readily noticeable, and that’s the time for ultrasonic cleaning. After cleaning, it gets a little bit better, bu... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Gershman Grand Avant Garde might worth a look. | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. How many of those who set up audio in a cluttered room care about room treatment?I think room treatment is for those who set up audio in a dedicated room with nothing but components and speakers in the listening room except maybe CD or Vinyl racks... | |
| Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp I would spend money on phono stage. Herron would be a good choice. If you are looking for used, it may not be easy to find one. Allnic H1202 would be an alternative. There are a few available for sale now.Once you upgrade phono stage, sooner or la... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? Big sound?It won’t be easy to find but Apogee Diva will do. Not just big, but amazingly realistic sound. | |
| Technics 1200G phono recommendations There is a Luxman EQ-500 on Audiogon going for 3k. Is it too good for Technics 1200G? Cartridge most likely Ortofon MC Cadenza blue. Does that change anything? In terms of the cost (cartridge vs phono stage), they seem to match OK. I think... | |
| Technics 1200G phono recommendations Allnic H1202. It has both MM and MC. | |
| Bass Vs speaker efficiency Am I wrong to think tight bass is a clean bass without being boomy? | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? I've seen people running two pairs of speakers, either from one amp or two amps, and enjoying the fullness of sound. If it sounds good, why not?Of course, 'good' depends on the personal taste. I think some pairs may work, but there's a high chan... | |
| SUT Opinions I've used about 10 different SUTs and phono amps (like Ortofon MCA-76 and Denon HA-1000), and Live! MC10 SUT works best for me. It has Hashimoto HM-3 transformer. It is paired with Magi Phonomenal phono preamp and they work very well for my Ortofo... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc Thanks for the info. No wonder why the selection of D2D is very limited.I try not to be spoiled by the sound of D2D or other audiophile recordings. Just enjoying the music. For so so recording quality LPs, I am spending increasingly more time on S... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc One downside is, once having WOW feeling from D2D records' sound quality, many other records you own sound not so musical to listen to.I have a few, and always wondering that why other records were not made to the same quality. | |
| What is a good base for speakers On a concrete carpeted basement, springs (like Nobsound) would work better than spike, rubber (or silicone) cone/feet, granite, concrete slab, ...?Nobsound springs (4 of them) support up to 40lbs, but I guess it is pretty limited. Most full range ... |
