| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! @freediver Perhaps it is far too late to matter, but... Many years ago I purchased a Devailet Primer/250. It is a 'lifestyle' audio system and an early implementation of Class D tech. It sounds great, yet different from my main system (SS &... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? @lousyreeds1 There is a great deal of good information and opinion in the above comments (thanks jpan, ghdprentice, mulveing, et.al.). One key point - the gear is sounds no better than the source! Always consider the quality of the recording t... | |
| Sound Pressure Meter for Android Thanks to all: @audio_guy_uofw Yes, I agree that a inexpensive sound level meter may be an option. Thanks for the lead on BAFX Products. @baylinor - Good point. I can imagine the frustration this mistake has cause more than a few... | |
| Sound Pressure Meter for Android kofibaffour - Thanks! | |
| Pre Amp Question. Old or New? OP it seems that a few of the replies read as adds for one product or another. Read carefully.... | |

| Speaker choice without need for deep bass I recently heard the Acora book shelf-ish speakers (~40 lb each), sitting upon their own sub, the Bedrock. The front end was all VAC. It was one of the few systems that has ever impressed me. Good hunting. | |

| New Review on Pine Tree Audio cables A very 'single-ended' recommendation, i.e. without context. I read the earlier Stereo Times review for this cable. Both that review and this click-bate sound like an advertisement, and nothing more... I hope they are that good, otherwise even... | |
| Cutting Amplifiers off the top of my head...add to the list: ERC vinyl (from England) Stan Ricker from MoFi (he also mastered many early Windham Hill LPs at 1/2 speed) TACET Vacuum Tube Logic (VTL) Harmonia Mundi (I expect...) of course, many labels had som... | |
| Record Storage Problem P.S. I am currently in the S.E. US, where it is hot and steamy for 6 months of the year. | |
| Record Storage Problem My collection, ask one point was 4,200 or so, has always been in SEALED outer sleeves (the resealing type). Not a hint of mold. They have been in every floor of the house, without issue. Even the LPs that I gave away and sat in an unconditioned... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Wow, great question... A. I was astonished how bad Prince's music is. I played Purple Rain, and without disclosing the title or artist, my wife yelled from the kitchen "Make It Stop!". Normally she is very tolerant, even engaged. B. Diana (ma... | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable Yes, and Yes +1 Everything Matters! Preamp may matter more than most other items (system dependent). | |
| Experiences with Oppo Service? Thanks for the information and insight. Like many, I use my OPPO for watching movies (in a TV only system). Should it break, I will probably look around for a reasonable a different unit... Best |
