| How often do you upgrade your turntable? Albert, do you have anything in mind as your next table upgrade? Agree about the importance of the source. More important than speakers? This is a very old argument. No less important, I think. | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Effischer, ideologically I share your view even though I called it 'insane approach'. But I think this would be too much work and very inconvenient arrangements for me. I will machine clean the records I play after 10-20 plays or every year. And o... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Bpoletti, would you mind going somewhere else to talk? | |
| Best near wall high end speaker I agree with the others - this is not a good idea, you'll have two dimensional sound. $10k for this application makes little sense, just get something for $2k or so. | |
| What music do you use to audition equipment/cables Audience applause? Well, if someone can distinguish male and female applause, then it is a hell of a recording and a hell of a system. That's one of the things that the old- timer meant, I am sure. He was right. | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? What I hear so far is the opposite but just as extreme approach to cleaning records before each play. This is unlikely to be correct, especially if you have a high resolution system and good hearring. | |
| MC Cartridges Under $1,000 Jkmnop, compatibility with arm and phono is one thing to consider, but you should state your priorities or we will recommend everything available.Whatever you choose, I recommend Lyra stylus treatment/cleaner - good stuff. I suspect, it is also an... | |
| Cartridge breakin ......how long? Zd542, good cables , they can change dramaticaly for the better after 100-200 hours. I consider cables components. | |
| How often do you upgrade your turntable? I too don't plan to upgrade my Nottingham Spacedeck any time soon, and unless I am ready to go over $10k or so I would only upgrade to another Nottingham.Theoretically speaking, if I had , say, $3000 for upgrades right now, what would I do? Would ... | |
| Cartridge breakin ......how long? I could give you two kinds of answer:1. As long as you hear the improvement.2. Give it at least 100 hours and make final VTA and anti-skate adjustments after it.I am not talking about any particular cartridge, so this will vary. | |
| What music do you use to audition equipment/cables Right on, Roxy54, me too. And I listen to both acoustic and electric music. Also, some good vocal and bass. Many use piano music, I don't because I don't really listen to piano. | |
| Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next I don't think they are going to sell it at all - that will be gifts for some very important people. | |
| I find this so strange Good for me that I am not interested in any of those companies. This doesn't seem to be a good sign, and the new name has a mass market sound to it, at least to my ear. | |
| £15k $22k to spend on speakers...but which? Maybe he is not such a rich man, just a very good saver. But if he is - you are right, not a chance.I would say that OP's approach is wrong at the root. First you choose the speakers and the source, then fill in the rest. So, my suggestion would b... | |
| Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything Czarivey, I sympathize. I never found myself in a situation like that, but I always have to self-regulate. I can't play loud music after certain hour, not only because it is an apartment building but because others want to have some quiet. I could... |
