| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @goose i see. Mind telling me more specifically what the Herbie's did to your system, how it didn't work for you and how the Townshend's did? I've been eyeing the Townshend products, but am starting with the gliders first to see the impact. I'm ho... | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) Hey Ozzy, mind telling us more about how they compare to your past amps? Going from atma-sphere and pass to michi has me curious. | |
| My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles. Positive messages, I dig it. Happy 2024 to all. | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 @lewm my Chinook, which I believe was the mk1, was really silent. Not noisy at all. Anyone that had a noisy Chinook, in my opinion, needs to investigate tubes. Unless they consider ear to speaker silence a must. The Chinook was the first tubed ph... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @goose I just ordered Herbie's gliders and I'm in the exact scenario of your room. What were your thoughts on them versus spikes? Our TV room is right below my listening room so I'm hoping the gliders give a little more bass isolation versus spike... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 I went from Chinook to Allnic H-5500 and loved the move so much it forced me to continue to upgrade phonos. | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? @larsman that's very true. GZ just had a track record for poor sonics and I've had more poor quality records from them so they get the best. I guess we hold the label accountable to the pressing quality and the labels/bands accountable to the pres... | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? @larsman do we know why or how it happens? I've heard records that sound horrible compared to digital versions. Is this from how the source files are sent in? Is it from a label literally looking at this as a profit center and not listening to tes... | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? @larsman why does their quality swing in such big directions. I have vastly more GZ presses that are poor versus quality pressings. I'll take unknown plants if GZ as a general rule to be completely honest. | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? I just bought a Micro Benz Ruby that I've wanted to try for years. Decided after less than 15 hours it's not my cartridge and I prefer my Dynavector Dv-XX2 more. The Benz will be up for sale for a quick loss. Sometimes you know yourself and reali... | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! There is also Lone Crow in Santa Rosa. Oh and Lavish Hifi. | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 Test out The Cable Company's lending library and try a few different cables. Let us know what you tried and what worked. | |
| "Diminishing Returns" I love the explicit explanation of how satisfied you are and the egos in here just can't stop to take a moment to listen and appreciate it. There's this need to opine by telling you that you aren't done, when you are. The self importance here is i... | |
| Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there? I quit smoking after 17 years so no smoke for me. But good to know there's a scotch trend here. We need to start a scotch and record thread for recommendations! | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs If you don't have 200-300 hours on them I'd patiently wait them out. I heard how everyone called Sopra's bright until they broke in and settled down and it really does take some time. Now they're just slightly forward and very detailed. He patient... |
