| No cartridge is good enough. In my arrogance, I started a thread a number of years ago suggesting that perhaps cartridge and speakers should be matched in some way.I didn't really want to go into this, though tape/direct to disc comparison would be interesting. It might also ... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Atmasphere made no big logical mistake - his assumption is valid, though the result of the technological evolution is by no means guaranteed. In other words, class D amps might get a little better and then exhaust their potential, or they might ke... | |
| Great amp, crashed and burned after 30 hours... Buyer protection? Yes, tough luck. He could try taking that person to the court, but the case would be hard to win, I guess. However, it appears that the seller didn't disclose the history of the unit, so there might be a chance.But perhaps having the unit repaired... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? I did mention contaminats getting on the records, but we should not be too obsessive about it. Just don't examine your records and other things with forensic blue light, if you do everything will look terrible. | |
| Vinyl? You may be right, it's subjective. I can't really be absolutely sure because my analog rig is better than digital, but still I have an impression that every recording I have, even a very poor one, done in analog sounds better on vinyl than on cd, ... | |
| Swiss amps. Worth the price? Did anyone compare Swiss amps with, say, Accuphase, Pass, Rowland, Gryphon etc.?Five times the price in NYC? If they can pay that then probably many Swiss can afford real Hi-Fi, maybe even most. That's good.Still, unless you are Swiss, what in pa... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Be nice Johnny boy if you want to talk here. | |
| Just me or what? Very few people post here compared to the number of those who read posts. And I suspect that even greater number don't even read or read very little, only trade, so most are definitely not part of the community. It's not just Audiogon you know.I d... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. It appears that almost everyone who posts is happy with the traditional cartridge/tonearm design.Lasers can be improved and they will be greatly improved in time. However, it is not very likely that this will be used for analog playback. We'll see... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. If ELP had been a failure it would have no popularity in HIFI circles at all.I know that there are direct to disc records, but since Atmasphere is so sure with words, I want to hear his recordings and his records. | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Well, Atmasphere, you would have to prove your 'fact'. And I look forward to receiving direct to disc records from you. I'll return them, no worries. | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Live performances do vary a lot but they all have one thing in common - they sound real even if they sometimes sound like crap. Hi-Fi never quite sounds real even if it sometimes sounds great. So..it appears that no-one tried that optical cartridg... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. That's what we are trying to talk about - to get beyond that.Besides, not everyone who can pay anything uses the Soundsmith or linear tracking tonearm. | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Atmasphere, why don't you send me couple of your direct to disc recordings? I don't have to defend one medium over another, I don't really care. I am just interested in the best sound possible. | |
| No cartridge is good enough. Atmasphere, there are totally different opinions, don't present what you say as a truth. Nor do I think that many would agree with you. Direct to disc is not considered the ultimate sound by everyone at all.I'll repeat my opinion - vinyl is a mass... |
