| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? If I wanted to spend $5k on a new turntable, just the table without tonearm and cartridge, I would be in trouble, I guess, because I wouldn't really know what to get. It would be very easy for me to choose if I could compare them all, not always n... | |
| 1 meter speaker cables Ralph of Atmasphere would say that for tube amps difference between 1 meter and 2.5 meters speaker cables may very well be audible and could in fact be significant He just said it in another thread.. | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? Right. Besides, buyers pay in real dollars not % of something, so may just look only at the asking price. Say, I have $5k for speakers plus maybe $500 more to ship them or to have them delivered, and that's it. I would not care much about suggeste... | |
| 12au7 tube? Yeah, he meant black plates, of course. I think, RCA actually invented both 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes. 1948-1956 production years are thought to be the best. | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase That was low even by the lowest of standards. Even in NYC I haven't heard anything like this. | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. waytoomuchstuff, "reverse engineering", right. Well, some people are afraid to look silly by asking "stupid questions" or just initiating "stupid subject". I am not, and if some of what I start is indeed stupid, so be it. As someone said: " If th... | |
| A life sentence!!! Nakamichi 682ZX cassette deck. This is a classic and a piece of history. Perfect for background music. Good sound. | |
| Would you put the same 12AX7 tubes for both onboard phono and line amp of an integrated? mulveling, thank you, I think you are right and I will follow your advice. Again, I currently have Mullard narrow long plates from 1959 in the line preamp, early 50s RCA black plates in the driver slot and Mullard XF2 power tubes. This combinatio... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? ryder, congratulations. Luxman can't compete with Gryphon, top Accuphase maybe, not sure, it probably depends. | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable Additional processing will not necessarily negatively affect the signal. This is a misconception. And at the very least, positives may outweigh negatives. | |
| No love for Cube Audio speakers? The price is probably high. | |
| What interconnect cables do you use with your VAC equipment ? I appears that most VAC users don't use interconnects at all. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? If the price is right, whatever this is, I'll take Walker. I hope British will forgive me. By the way, no one mentioned French J.C. Verdier. Not good enough ? I have no idea. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? Market for turntables is not tiny at all. In the US maybe limited but in other regions every household has a turntable, well, not every but many. What is audiophile here is common there in terms of analogue playback. And it is analogue not analog.... | |
| How long do records last? Of course, I use the brush before playing each side and of course I cover the platter when not in use. I do it automatically, it just takes too f. long. And this is from someone who doesn’t really like vinyl and loves tape. |
