| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. I agree with @theflattire You are going through all of this research using a Schiit Mani phono preamp? You have to be kidding. I have one as a back up. And when I auditioned it my system just to see how it sounded it was really lacking in presen... | |
| 20 Years? Been here since 2002. I've learned so much from you guys! Thank you all!? | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? I bought a Puron a few months ago. Plugged it in to the same circuit behind my system. I think it's snake oil if you ask me. | |
| RCA Phono Interconnect Under $400 @jrcotner Don't rule out Signal Cable. Frank makes cables, wire, interconnects,etc : all high end at giant killer prices. Perfect for your short run. I have had him make me xlr, rca interconnects and speaker wire as well as my phono turntable... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? @jjbeason14 I just recently bought a turntable mat from VPI for my Scoutmaster. I think that the results were not night and day, but I did notice a bit more control and command, not only from the sound, but also from the calming effect it had on... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! AUDIO GD HE 1 VACUUM TUBE PREAMP WITH REGENERATIVE POWER SUPPLY. I bought this from Wally at Underwood Hi Fi. Best decision I have made so far for my system. After 100 hours, this preamp had my jaw on the ground and my ears in Nirvana. I heard an... | |
| I Cried Today I just sat down to read the paper tonight, and saw @bigkidz post. Needless to say, the paper hit the floor, unread. My thoughts are with Mr Hoffman and his selflessness in thinking of someone else's joy while facing his own mortality, and for ki... | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! Magnavox mono speaker/turntable in one, on coffee table-like set-up. Listened to Beatles and the Stones, late 60's. KLH Model 6 in high school and college. Acoustic Research model ? Early adulthood. Paradigm studio monitors, stupid mid adultho... | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, My Dunlavy SC 3'S that I bought in the late 90's will kick the crap out of all these current speakers, with there built in amps and sophisticated cabinets. I've upgraded all amps, preamps and digital, and these speakers still sing like birds. | |
| Please help me to define diagnosis of the following illness. @czarivey For God's sake, I don't think that it is an illness. Your listening habits and preferences are guided by you instincts and your drive. Your "mono" whatever is taking you where you want to go. Follow the journey. Don't second guess it. ... | |
| Costliest Brainfart Two stories: YOUNG AND STUPID. I was a freshman in college ('77). I had a dorm room facing a courtyard. It was just before spring break. People were shooting frisbee and hanging out on the courtyard. I decided to impress them with my vinyl co... | |
| Shout out to the Moderator(s) I sold an item a couple of weeks ago, got full asking price within a couple of days. But when I checked out who the buyer was, my heart dropped! He had no feedback and became a member the same day he bought my item. Payment went through fine, but ... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures Incredible!! You are master at your craft, or should I say "crafts". You are a visionary, designer, a builder, a great writer, and a great person who treats those that have worked hard for you with great compliments and sensitivity. Audiogon is... | |
| The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position This post makes me tired. And thankful that I only have two needles. Of which I'm sure both are set up incorrectly. | |
| Noise inside speaker cabinet when moving ? @corelli Wow, that's a surprise. My repair man did not say anything about a counterfeit. Or he might not have noticed. But to be honest, the Chinese are making gear these days that surpasses lots of boutique stuff made here in the states. So, if m... |
