| Jazz for aficionados By 2040 they want to phase out all cars except the electric, at least all new cars. I woud call it eco-terrorism, they need treatment not us. And what do you suppose they are going to do with old batterries? They will dump them in Africa or/and so... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? I thought I would just mention tube and hybrid amps that I would want to audition first: LAMM, Ypsilon, VAC, Atma-Sphere, Wavac, Allnic, Jadis, Octave, CAT. Ralph is right - pay attention to the sound not the design. You really need to know what k... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Most music is in the midrange and to hear it all clearly as was recorded you need full or near full range speakers. Unless you only listen to violin solo perhaps. You also need powerful, life like dynamics. Lamm's SET watts are said to be the most... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? I'd rather have one near perfect system than thirteen but that's me. Ideally, I think I would have two or maybe three very different systems. When you buy used or even new unheard you might have to try many different speakers until you find the ri... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Jperry mentioned SME, Terry9 and I mentioned Nottingham. I have not heard Avid - it's British, right? - and Origin Live, only read something about them.Yes, table/arm/cartridge in order of importance. Phono stage is really important as well. The l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This doesn't speak to me. I don't think of it as a successful east/west fusion. I'll take Mingus's neanderthal or similar any day. | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget There is used Nottingham Space Deck with Space arm on ebay from a dealer for $1500. That's what I have. Take a look. | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Reliable dealers, of course. I could tentatively recommend something but it could take a long time to find it used, something like SME that jperry recommended. You certainly want tube phono stage and very good cable and power cord. At this level I... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Sorry, man, $5k is not enough for what you want to achieve. A little more, shall we? | |
| Jazz for aficionados That first man is still in us, so it resonates. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, that was fun ! Mingus was a very interesting person - many voices in one. I am not good at describing music in words, but I can tell that I followed this with no difficulty. Let's call it primaeval jazz. By definition it should be a lit... | |
| Adding a turntable to my system Give the cartridge at least 50 hours of play time. Mine was improving up to about 120 hours, not Ortofon. | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K I think, you have to decide in advance if you would be willing to deal with tube and hybrid amps.Yes, listening to high end systems on youtube is an interesting activity that I myself engage in from time to time as well. If recorded by the same pe... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Among other amp/speakers combinations I would want to listen Atma/Classic Audio, Ypsilon/Lansche, VAC and Allnic/ Focal Utopia, all MBL system, all Gryphon system, LAMM/Kharma.None of this would be exactly inexpensive, but you want great sound, an... | |
