| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? Records by Mail is good. I once bought a wharped record from them, and Craig said to throw it away and gave me a refund. Usually priced higher than ebay but often worth it. | |
| ( Vinyl) Your latest purchase and where? Original Japanese Bitches Brew and Pangaea by Miles Davis. Ebay, I always buy there. Not interested in re-issues. | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs Spending as much on a cartridge as on speakers would not be my approach, that's for sure.Anyway, room first is the best approach, I guess. And the most expensive one. | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs My analogue front end is more than three times more expensive than speakers, cables not included. Next upgrade would be the amp. There is still some room for improving the speakers' performance. People often upgrade speakers too quickly. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I could add that even when I have some funds for an upgrade, I don't do it, just not in the mood. Perhaps I have a slight brain damage too without really knowing it. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? People are becoming a computer dependent digital race. It's a brain damage if you ask me, no doubt.But there are still many who appreciate natural things including good sound. Problem is that they are losing the power of influence to counteract th... | |
| what is the problem with too much tracking force? Too much tracking force can cause skipping too, by the way.I would set it at exactly 1.7 to begin with and listen. If Lyra gives such a tight range, they must have a reason and want you to be quite precise, you are tracking too high - if your gaug... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi everyone.Never heard Wilsons though heard a lot of them.Would LAMM pre/power plus some DAC beat both Rowland and VAC overall? LAMM hybrid power, I mean. What if it could? | |
| A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck? This is good news, though I would not be interested. I would get classic Studer or Otari. The price is too high for a common folk and too low for it to be good for audiophiles. If a decent table/arm/cartridge start at about $4.5k - $5k, RTR deck s... | |
| Best cartridge/stylus under $80? I am a Grado headphones fan but I will agree that Nagaoka should be the best overall choice. Still not easy to guess right, though. | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? Cardas older Quadlink cables, Sehnheiser headphones, Parasound belt drive cd player. Bose was okay for movies for a while, better than built-in TV speakers.Negative advertising is not illegal, look at the presidential campaign. | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Next thing we should discuss is the best way of lowering the arm on the record. So much talk for nothing. | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong I thought that anti-skate is always set by ear, you don't need no bloody test records, just listen. I am not familiar with the OP's set-up but with my Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm you can clearly hear the difference while moving the weight back a... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? It's the other way around - by playing loud the speakers are telling the wife to shut up. | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? I think we enlightened the OP. I would never pay $3k for a fishing rod or for a power cord or for a record cleaning machine. $10K for a semi-custom Brioni suit? Maybe, if I thought I needed such a high class suit. And I agree that $3k Fiji vacatio... |
