| Current recordings on vinyl? I would very much doubt that the Blue Note Norah Jones is all analog mastered since none of the other Blue Note LP's issued in 20 years have been. You need to go to the specialty labels (Classic records, Acoustic Sounds etc.) for that. If it doesn... | |
| Vinyl records grading scale This is a very sticky and subjective issue. The most important thing, as Arahl indicates, is to know your seller. The good ones will honor your returns if the record is not up to grade. But, as Undertow, suggests, the difference between an excelle... | |
| how to tell on first pressing vinyl releases Record weight for reissues is 99% marketing hype rather than any indication of quality. True, vinyl in the 50's was much heavier than the flimsy stuff that got produced in the 70's and 80's but there is much more involved in determining the qualit... | |
| What to expect from MONO To simulate a mono switch and see if this impacts your perceptions, use a male Y connector from Radio Shack to blend the left and right channels and then another Y connector with a female end to split the blended signal to your phonostage | |
| Michell Orbe platter upgrade:any comments? Not to complicate matters for you but I assume you are also aware of the Pedersen Gyro upgrade (http://home20.inet.tele.dk/pedersensgyro/)I myself have the Gyro Mk II with the DC power supply. I think the Gyro does a lot of things well and looks r... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Zaikesman, Nice Post! You are on to exactly the thing I am thinking about. The production and distribution costs of high end media could become so small relative the premium we are willing to pay for it that it would be commercially viable to crea... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Johnnantais wrote ... vinyl is making a comeback ... What planet are you living on? While there are (and always have been) a number of people like us who belive in vinyl as the way to go (given the current alternatives) to suggest this might turn ... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Good debate but should we all be venting our anger and expending our energy in a CD vs vinyl debate when neither format has a significant future and both have significant flaws. It's time for the analog and digital audiophiles of the world to unit... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? I can easily imagine a world without vinyl. It would be a world in which excellent sound would be achieved without the sonic compromises of digital or the convenience and many other compromises of vinyl. Both formats are clearly seriously flawed a... | |
| State of HDCD and SACD Several posters to this thread seem to have already answered your question regarding the future of SACD and HDCD - namely its all but completely dead and buried. But you seem not to want to hear them so instead I will tell you what you have been w... | |
| What does a vinyl record groove look like? I would second your comment T_Bone. Mark's photo looks rather bizzare compared to the micrographia photos. Do you (Mark) have any details on who produced it and how? | |
| New Vinyl Defects LP's are selling regularly on Ebay for hundreds of dollars. I recently bid on a half dozen different jazz LP auctions offering well over $100 on each and lost them all. It is expensive to produce quality LP's but at over $100 per LP it has to begi... | |
| Evidence of groove damage of TT setup? In my own experience, many things that in my first few years of vinyl, I blamed on groove damage or vinyl inadequacies, turned out to be a result of my own cleaning or tuning inadequacies so I would look there first. I continue to be amazed at how... | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way Thank you, Mr. Schroeder for your response. I'm sure you have better things to with your time than respond to my posts on A'gon. I was only responding to what I heard from other posters about responsiveness issues and I'm glad for all concerned th... | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way No, but I can only imagine it would be like heaven from the comments posted on by owners on A'gon. Are you offering invitations to hear yours? I'm in the market for a new TT / arm / cart over the next 6 mos. and the Schroeder would certainly have ... |
