| The longest you have owned any gear? Sorry. I can see that some people still buy Studers on ebay, for about $4k, but don't buy them for over $5k. I don't get it. When it comes to Studer and considering that $4k is already no pocket change, I would be prepared to pay extra $1k if I sa... | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? Buying used turntable is a gamble and turntables don't like shiipping, as if anything did, right.I think, $600 $800 buy something acceptable to begin with, new, not including phono stage and cleaning devices. Dirty vinyl ruines the experience. | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 It is possible that what you really want is the TechDas reference turntable that you heard at your friend's. But it is unreachable, ever.Almost all of us, if we start comparing what we can have and what is available..However, last table situation ... | |
| What exactly is colored sound? When buying a serious piece of equipment, in addition to your test recordings bring along a reasonably good guitar to compare to what speakers play. Anyone can strike a few accords. Well, maybe better not or you'll never buy anything except perhap... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? No open reel decks, unless I missed it..I wonder, how many more years can electronics in my Nak682ZX deck last? It was made 36 years ago, all original except capacitors. It is serviced and calibrated every few years. | |

| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? Thick records change the VTA, and I am not going to adjust it each time I want to play them. Besides, they are heavier and change the balance of the playback system. And that's in addition to what others said. I am not interested in them. Ultrason... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 attymbb,Unless the turntable itself represents a particularly high value to you, it is very likely that you will want to upgrade your entire set-up, probably more so if you get the better of those two tables. If this happens, you will throw yourse... | |
| Another soundstage question Cables affect the soundstage too. And power cords , especially on the preamp but everywhere. | |
| What exactly is colored sound? That's right. But we can keep trying. Along with recording engineers and equipment makers, especially speakers makers. Speakers are sort of instruments, they are more than pieces of equipment. | |
| What exactly is colored sound? Coloured and sterile sound is what we want to avoid. What we don't want to avoid is colorful sound, that's how the instruments sound live. When recording, you can never fully capture it, so if reproduction system adjusts for that - that's good. In... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 Attymbb,You have a good system. I cannot be of much help since I haven't heard either of those tables. I suggest you contact member albertporter directly and ask for his advice, he might've auditioned both. Your wife didn't seem to actively object... | |
| Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? I understand, there was no spectacular sound in any room.Did Gryphon use analog source in addition to digital?What was AAudio Imports set-up? Ypsilon with something? | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 This is tough. To choose maybe the last turntable. There is a sad finality to it. I do hope this is not really the case, only no turntable upgrade for a long time.Could you list the rest of your system including cables and power management devices... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Steven, I might have an expensive taste but I don't have a lot of funds and do my best not to waist them. But sometimes you just have to pay the price or not buy right now and wait.Here is Audio Note integrated with phono. I know nothing about it ... |
