| Technics 1300G on it's way !! @doyle3433 , Welcome to the club! Like @stereo5, I've had the GAE since 2016. I've sold every piece of gear I had since then and sold each type of gear (speakers, pre, phono pre, amps, etc.) multiple times. Guess what? The GAE has stayed put. ... | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? Thanks @rauliruegas . I always appreciate your insight. Yes, there's just no way in my mind that Slaw can have any cartridge with 5,000 hours on it, which doesn't need service/re-tip. My goodness that's a lot of hours on it. I'll check out the ... | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? Got the Nagaoka MP-500 in the house, installed and finally dialed it. A little fussy on VTF and VTA--took me a bit to dial it in. Really nice cartridge. Still in break in. Wondering if the high end will open up a bit, as I do like air on top. Bi... | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? @slaw, I'm not trying to pick an argument, but I have to ask--Is 5,000 hours a typo? I have trouble understanding how a cartridge could realistically last that long! | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? @lewm @dogberry , thanks for the vote of confident on the Nagaoka!!! @awise1961 I'll check out that grado. Haven't owned one in 20 years! @billstevenson I love VAS. I had Soundsmsith tell me they couldn't do anything with a couple of cart... | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series I'm done taping and gluing down mats. I did that with the Funk Firm product. Never again. | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series Thank you guys for all the insight! | |
| My Analog Journey - Opinions Sought My best advice, after making and living down mistakes, is to respect digital and its wonderful counterpart, digital streaming, but do not give it a crown. I think there's something in the perspective within the phono signal that lends itself to ... | |
| Found A Roon Core Streamer Only Solution with Top Notch Sound Quality @kennyc You’re welcome. I felt compelled to share this because the cost of really good quality streaming can be popping. But I can’t hear the difference. I just think $5000 a streamer is a little insane. the unit is still running and is totall... | |
| Found A Roon Core Streamer Only Solution with Top Notch Sound Quality @sns, I respect your opinions because you have a good background knowledge in the implementation of this stuff. We consulted on modifying my Chinook. You were a gentleman and very right in your views—based on what my ears heard. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? @v-fi I have it paired with a Linear Tube Audio Aero, R2R ladder NOS DAC, using 6sn7 or 12sn7 tubes. | |
| Found A Roon Core Streamer Only Solution with Top Notch Sound Quality I was looking at streamer only solutions and some of the pricing was eye popping, yet there are some highly reviewed and/respect items out there too in the $800-$1500 range. What pushed me to get this Nucleus Plus clone was the fact that I could... | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 Nonoise, they definitely can charge a room either way bass. They are modestly sensitive to positioning. If I move them out into the room more the bass energy lessens, as is the case with many speakers. If you have the ability to move them around... | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 @nonoise , How big is your room? Mine is 22' long by 15' wide. The A5s are a good fit here. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? @v-fi , Yes, I'm modestly experienced with Roon--been using it for about 3 years now. I built a Roon ROC NUC before and it worked well til I wore it out. Recently I was using my Mac as the Roon Core. Despite the amazing suggestions above, many ... |
