| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? NO! | |
| Let the Games Begin I asked ChatGPT to compose a response to Debunking the Digital Audio Myth. I asked that it be written in the style of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Lo and behold ChatGPT did this instantly! My college English Lit professor would have been impressed... | |
| Klipsch Cornwalls vs. JBL L110 speakers with McIntosh MC2205 JBL fan and owner here! So you know what I could say! Don't change the L110 woofers! That will alter the voicing - and probably not in a good way! They come from the Ed May era! Why choose the 2205 amp? That is a rather long-in-the-tooth design! T... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming I am awaiting the arrival of the Beatles Abbey Road 50th Anniversary edition LP! This I couldn't pass up! The late Art Dudley gave it a two thumbs up! | |
| Let the Games Begin Let's hear from ChatGPT's take on this weighty topic with a reply written in the style of Milton's Paradise Lost! | |
| Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers What, no VPI Magic Bricks? | |
| Cambridge CXC > Audiolab 6000CDT > Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2! Sighted bias especially with the expectation of hearing an improvement! Try blind listening in a dark room. Otherwise it's an anecdotal blurb for the mfgr's web site! | |
| New CD Player @thyname : no need to throw shade! My Marantz CD67 died recently. I will buy and install a new laser. I have not yet unpacked the Samsung DVD HD841. Anyway, I have several more working CD and DVD players on hand. I actually do have way too much tu... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback The OP could try to find on the used marketplace a SpectroAcoustics preamp. Then get rid of the iFi and Schiit. One could probably be found for around $200 on, say, USAM. | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @oldrooney : back in 1977 SpectroAcoustics in Oregon sold a preamp with full capacitive and resistive loadings by switches on the front panel. I had one briefly and stupidly sold it! For MM cartridges this would be very useful! | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @oldrooney : that's the first I've ever heard about a particular cartridge being specified for use in an S-shaped arm! Straight or curved all that matters is the proper offset angle at the headshell! Not enough offset angle means the cartridge wil... | |
| Sound and music A music score is only a template for the music. A human performer has to connect the notes so the essence that the composer wrote into the notes may be freed! | |
| Audio Research REF 750 pre July 4 FIRE WORKS. TUBE ARC. 24 KT150's per amp! Yikes! Bet your electric bill will be going up! | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback The Hana EL (Elliptical Low output) MC is an easy recommendation at $500. A Denon 103R at $340 is another option. | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @mattmiller : the OP is using an iFiZen phono stage into the Schiit line stage. He was using the Schiit in the passive mode (no gain). That way usually results in a lackluster sound. The same applies to the AT MM cartridge. I find MM cartridges wi... |
