| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable It's appearance is certainly a conversation starter! Right out of the Jetsons!! | |
| Possible iOS-13 and Audioquest Dragonfly Red compatibility issue I was surprised. I used that assembly consistently with my iPhone 6 and iOS 10.x-10.11.x and it always worked perfectly. When I purchased the iPhone 11 (because OS 10.13 was no longer supported in iPhones <6S), the same setup failed. A call to ... | |
| Possible iOS-13 and Audioquest Dragonfly Red compatibility issue Here's news. Apple iOS 13.1.3 seems to have reconfigured power to the Lightning port. This software version will drive the DragonFly Red and the Jitterbug in series with my earphones, just as before. Presumably, the Cobalt will work too and - if I... | |
| Turntable cost:benefit Yikes! I just posted this "poll" merely as a "food for thought" item! It's certainly elicited a variety of interesting replies, all of which are appreciated.I've been acquiring vinyl records since ~1965 and I'm relatively (more-or-less) happy with... | |
| Turntable cost:benefit yogiboy,It has <<1500 hours. As for the possibility of changing it, it was only a passing fancy, set to maybe occur sometime in the far-distant future (if at all).Thanks!KAC | |
| Turntable cost:benefit The VPI HW-19 Mk 2 has a Mørch UP-4 with a Sumiko Blue Point #2 cartridge, a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+, a Classé DR-9 and Magnepan LRS speakers with Kimber and Nordost cables. | |
| Turntable cost:benefit Hello, again!To clarify once more, my original posting was simply an abstract question open for discussion and opinion. To rephrase it: I posed the question about factoring the size of an existing vinyl collection into the decision as to whether o... | |
| Turntable cost:benefit dweller,Perhaps you misapprehended my comment. I am an avid vinyl listener and I'm perfectly content with my present system. My LPs have accumulated over quite a few years. I posted this comment simply as a point of discussion. It was prompted by ... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen Not in the same league as what you are auditioning, but I own both Vandersteen 2C (original version) and Magnepan LRS. I much prefer the imaging and overall character of the LRS, but the bass is quite limited compared to the 2C. Of course, the som... | |
| ...amazed by 15+ year old interconnect... I have a mix of old and new cables and I've switched and exchanged these at various times. I am using old (and now discontinued Music Metre) interconnects between my Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ and my Classe Audio DR-9 power amp. The wiring harness from m... | |
| Possible iOS-13 and Audioquest Dragonfly Red compatibility issue dbtom: I accessed the iOS-13 control center and it does not appear to have an audio output option. There have been some other unusual changes in the new OS, too. These include the inability to display the percentage battery charge alongside the ba... | |
| Favorite cover? Quicksilver Messenger Service, "Who Do You Love?" and "Mona" promptly come to mind, as does Janis Joplin's "Summertime" and (of course), "Ball and Chain". | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? Aside from the numerous variables (all of which have already been mentioned and discussed), optimally, Yes, an "arc" with depth that more-or-less resembles an orchestra, a classical chamber group, a jazz ensemble, folk and Delta blues music. As fo... | |
| List your state of art headphones for smart phone use! I agree with mijostyn re: the Etymotic Research ER-4. They are very small, light, portable, relatively inexpensive, durable, noise-isolating, and (most importantly from the audiophile perspective) they sound quite good. I use them with an Audioque... | |
| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Thanks to all!Keith |
