| cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970? It's gonna take a lot to beat a set of Quad ESLs or many other high end speakers of yesterday, if you even can. | |
| Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description? I've had nothing but positive experiences with them. | |
| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! @thecarpathian The seller feedback is critical! I know everyone has to get a start, and on rare occasions I’ll take a chance. But my general rule of thumb is at least 1000 ratings and at least 99.8%. I still get burned on rare occasions, but ov... | |
| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! I’ve found that with a truly proper cleaning, many records assumed to be VG or VG+ are actually NM. The best cleaning isn’t cheap, but with a large collection or lots of purchases can pay for itself. It seems to be an area where people who spend... | |
| Turntable recommendation As someone who listens to 95% or more vinyl, I have to say that if you’re currently used to streaming and CD, unless you’re committed to a significant investment I think you’re setting yourself up for a disappointment. Vinyl on a budget is pretty... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Thanks for bringing up Red Garland, it had been far too long. Enjoying right now! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @designsfx Never heard of that, definitely gonna check it out! | |
| Setting up turntable/Sumiko BluePoint with Pro Ject RS box I bought a Hana ML almost the day it was released. It is a steal at full price. At true audiophile cartridge. I recently upgraded, but plan to keep the ML as a backup for when the new more expensive carts need retipping. Pull the trigger if yo... | |
| How many of you streaming? I’m about 95% vinyl, with the rest a combination of CD and streaming. Either way, I almost always play an album start to finish. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I got home late. Started the evening off with… The Three: Joe Sample, Ray Brown and Shelly Manne Following it up with… A Night at the Vangard: The Kenny Burrell Trio Not sure where it’ll go from there! 🙂 | |
| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise I can’t imagine anyone ever being disappointed with Luxman. I’d take that over any of the options listed. Harbeths and Luxman could easily be a lifetime system. | |
| Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators? I currently run a PP5 and a PP12 and can’t imagine not having them in my system given the improvement they make. | |
| Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators? @markny2011 My understanding is that some critical parts for the PPP became NLA. I saw someone say that while they would no longer service them due to parts availability they would provide schematics and service info. You might ask them about that... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Sure wish there was a “Like” option here. I see some great music being played tonight! 👍🏼 | |
| Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services? I’ve had lifetime on Roon since early days on my iMac and it has never given me a moments trouble with my iPhone or iPad. Not suggesting you go Apple on your core, but perhaps a Microsoft surface with your Windows core will work better. Good luc... |
