| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? No, the TT has been checked out by the tech. He says it's in perfect condition. I just notice when set at 45rpm the strobe moves slightly. Does not hold steady like when on 33. | |
| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? It's a 2 disc set done at Abbey Road with letter of certification. I will try the paper disc. I have it on 45 but the strobe I guess is only correct playing a 45. Maybe it's timeing is off a little for 45 rpm as it still moves a little at maximum ... | |
| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? If I play at normal speed of 33 1/3 it doesn't sound right. To slow. So I have to put it on 45 to get close to normal sound. Everything I read says play back should be at 331/3 but speed is not right. | |
| Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? I guess what I'm asking is I only have 2 settings 33 1/3 and 45. I have a strobe light to tell me if the table is turning to fast or slow. I don't have setting to run half of 33 1/3. When I run it on 45rpm it sounds normal but my strobe won't tell... | |
| What is better, analog or digital? So I'm going to put it to the test. Just rebuilt my Pioneer PL 530 TT. Bought a Sutherland Insight PS with upgraded LPS. What cartridge should I use for playing mostly rock and 60's and 70's music? Preamplifier is AR Ls28se, Amp is PL Evo 400, GE ... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Madman Fischer- Merry-go-round | |
| The Absurdity of it All I started in 68 with an old RCA turntable with built in speakers. I was 10. Listened to all analog music. Built myself a kick-ass digital to analog system only to be listening to everything thru digital hearing aids. But I made it sound the way I ... | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? I agree with dave_b. I have even noticed a big difference using an XLR jumper from RCA too XLR. | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble I have a pair of Martin Logan Motion 60 XT driven by an Parasound A21+. The ML are 4ohm. The paring makes awesome bass even at 65-75 dbl. | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. I like my Audio Research Ls28se, 4 balanced in and 4 RCA. 2 outputs for 2 amps. Sound is very nice with SS or Tubes. I use a PS A21+ or PL EVO 400. | |
| Best DAC / Budget The Audio Mirror is too laid back. Try an RME ADI2 Dac Fs. Put it on the nos filter and adjust it for your preference. About 1200.00 it sounds fantastic. Order thru Amazon and get 30 day money back. You owe it to yourself to try it. | |
| Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations Kimber Hero. I use XLR but RCA should just as good. AQ Rocket 44 for speakers. Tried high dollar now I don't. | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? Dire Straits-Why Worry. Hollies- Long Cool Woman in a black dress. Fleetwood mac- I'm so afraid | |
| A great balanced R2R ladder DAC: Mhdt Lab Balanced Pagoda I will be checking out an SWx1 Dac ii special next week. Hope it sounds as good as they say. | |
| Straight out of the box doesn't work. Yes, I have no problem with imports. Chinese or otherwise. I am going to give the PL another shot. The main thing that bugged me is the two tubes that were loose and would not seat tight in the sockets. |
