| Needle just gets stuck in a particular spot of the record ! What is going on? I gets more interesting. I cleaned the record once again and played it. First time it played through just fine, then I repeated a few times and it refuses to do it. The stylus is reasonably clean. | |
| Best integrated amps under $9k From that maker's website:" We believe that an integrated amplifier when done correctly will outperform best separates available.."This is big BS. And they know it. I will not buy anything from him for one dollar. | |
| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass Purist Maximus or Colossus, either fluid or ferox. I have and use both with ferox, before that had the same Maximus with fluid. Colossus goes from phono to integrated, Maximus from deck or cd player to integrated. Both have great bass and dynamics... | |
| Canadian LP pressing, how good? opus88, yes I understand what you said.Just bought 'Bitches Brew' Canadian first pressing with all As in the dead wax. We'll see. | |
| Canadian LP pressing, how good? opus88, thank you. I'll take a risk and try a few. | |
| New sound system, $5000 max- what a would you do? I would tell my friend to go to hell with this idea of me assembling a cheapo system for him. | |
| What Are You Listening To Right Now?What is the Source? I suggest Pangaea by Miles Davis and 18 year old Glenlivet. | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I stopped reading it a long time ago but not because they only review expensive gear but because I didn't get anything out of those reviews. I read Car and Driver from time to time, including about Porsches, Aston Martins etc. The true supercar is... | |
| Preferred method for removing mold & mildew from album covers I would throw them all away. Even if you somehow manage to clean them, you will never be sure that there is no mold left there. And that's the kind of caca you don't want to keep around. | |
| Where did you sink the most cash into? Turntable/tonearm. Spending 50% on speakers is not old school, it is only one of popular approaches. Old school is to creatively and individually approach the subject but never have a weak source. | |
| Why are people always getting into pissing matches because they think what they have is better Because deep down they know that their rigs suck. | |
| Turntable for life I am afraid $30k may not be enough. Besides, how long a life are we talking about? New great turntables appear from time to time. In any case, I would certainly try Albert's Technics and newest Walker to begin with. And probably dozens of others. ... | |
| Upgrade Path Just upgrading phono without knowing what cartridge one will be using next would be unwise, though sure the sound will improve.First you have to decide whether you want to start with upgrading digital or analog. I would start with analog, but that... | |
| 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... |
