| Nordost break in expectations If possible you should attend a Nordost demo. They did one with power cables at RMAF, and the difference between stock (black standard power cord) and the Nordost cables was easily discernable. The difference between the stock cord and the various... | |
| Nordost break in expectations 4425,Thanks for the update and happy that you like what you are hearing. I also started with Nordost speaker cables, and now have all Nordost cables. My experience, like that of AKG_CA, is that there is a synergistic effect with Nordost cable. | |
| VPI Industries reveals Shinola x VPI table. Thanks DTC. I knew the story behind the saying, but not the reason Shinola chose their company name.Sometimes audiophiles have trouble telling the difference between the two as well.Obviously, the best of luck to all in this turntable venture, and... | |
| Nordost break in expectations It will take a long time to reach the burn in level of a Nordost Vidar. See below from the Nordost website: Why is the VIDAR better for breaking in cables?The VIDAR is designed to put a very wide band signal of varying amplitude through the cable... | |
| Nordost break in expectations It gets more open and smooth. Your dealer should have burned it in on a Nordost cable cooker. If you did not buy from a dealer some offer this service for a price. The burn in is highly recommended. | |
| VPI Industries reveals Shinola x VPI table. If they entered into an agreement with Schiit Audio and made a similar table we would be faced with the question of knowing the difference between Schiit and Shinola. | |
| Melody Gardot - My one and only thrill I don't have all of her recordings, but I am very fond of "Worrisome Heart" and her newest, as far as I know on vinyl "Currency of Man" is great. Thanks for your review of "My One and Only Thrill" | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K Three I think you should check in that price range are:Garrard 301/401 with Woodsong Audio plinth and Ortofon or Jelco 12 inch armSME 15 (can include a SME tonearm)AMG Giro (this includes a great tonearm from AMG) | |
| What tonearm will better mine? Another option is the Ortofon RS 309D. I have heard the Jelco, Ortofon and EMT all on the same table with the same cartridge. I would rank the Ortofon better than the Jelco and the EMT better than the Ortofon | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? Check out Shawn Colvin's album "Uncovered" All covers and very good | |
| What tonearm will better mine? EMT 997 | |
| Tube Preamp for around 2K? See if you can find an Aesthetix calypso in your price range | |
| TurnTable Quest It is an inexpensive turntable with a ceramic cartridge. Sold at Urban Outfittters, etc. Many models are portable players, including speakers. Not the quality you are looking for, and not good for your records due to high tracking force, crude sty... | |
| TurnTable Quest "...what brand new table with arm and cart, are a going trend, for a grand or lower."That is a different question. Anything from Rega, Pro-Ject, VPI etc in that price range would be fine, with the exception of Crosley ;-).Good luck with your turnt... | |
| TurnTable Quest kgveteran "I don't follow this, is the Garrard a retro table and guys are just replacing the old plinth with a more solid, and isolating platform ?"Yes, see the link below to Loricrafthttp://www.garrard501.com/ |
