| Why do turntables sound different? Also, some tables apparently sound 'bigger' than others. Some sound 'bigger but slower', others 'bigger and not slower'. This observation does not come from my experience, I read about it.I would say that my Spacedeck definitely does not sound 'sm... | |
| Speaker cable length with monoblock amps? What price levels of monoblocks and cables are we talking about? At high level you should not worry too much about resale value. | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? Maybe it's good that we don't know some of those strories or they would've given us heart attack. | |
| Best monoblock amps for $2000 used Is Rowland model 1 bridgeable, I don't remember? You can probably find two of them for about $2500 or so. | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Doesn't matter to me, anyway. At this level I will go with hybrid or tubes. | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Still no-one really talks about Rowlands. There are users of any brand, for whatever reasons they have it. There appears to be no interest in this company anymore. | |

| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? I also look at what members here with apparently good hearing, taste and budget use. They most often use one or more of those - Lyra, Transfiguration, Kiseki, Allnic, AirTight, Koetsu. I don't see many Dyna, Benz, Clearaudio etc. Some set-ups look... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? Sometimes, I can know by knowing my preferences well and reading about others' experiences. Even in your example, without much of elaboration on your part, I choose Sumiko. I would just go higher in line. Simple enough. But I suspect that if you w... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB ML is in the past, Gryphon is in the present. Bloody expensive stuff, though. | |
| Why do turntables sound different? Bearing friction..Anyone experimented with different oil? I didn't. I just use Nottingham's oil that they make for their tables. The sound is on a warmer slightly darker side and there is nothing slow to it. Belt is like new, doesn't feel or look ... | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? This is going to be fun. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra 5 With these things one cannot really guess, you have to try both. It may also be not better/worse but different. Even more reason to try. |
