How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers?
“Send Danny one of your loudspeakers, and he will free of charge do a complete evaluation of it’s design.” Who’s in their right mind would do that!  It’s just not practical due to sheer weight / size. And, if I want Danny Richie to ‘voice’ or twe... 
Garrard 301 - Project
@noromance  Ben plays Ballads by Storyville is excellent. No surface noise, the pressing is made in EU. I am not easily impressed but this one is a keeper. I am going to look up this record label and see what else they’ve got.    @macg19  Kenny...

@macg19  In case you don’t own this title, very nice and clean record.  https://a.co/d/daCwZyd

@macg19  I had a feeling Tele NOS would be better since I am using quad of Tele NOS in my CD player. Speaking of tube rolling, I always wanted to try Amperex Bugle Boy 12AX7 but they are so rare and expensive.  The reissues or newer tubes are pr... 
Garrard 301 - Project
@noromance, @macg19  I have been listening to Telefunken NOS 12AX7 since yesterday after 4 days of break-in. Let me first say JJ 12AX7 are excellent tubes for the money. My biggest concern was noise with Tele NOS. Fortunately, they turned out to ... 
What is the most overlooked consideration?
@2psyop  My top criteria’s when choosing a gear; does it provide long-term musical connection. More importantly, does it invite me to play more music, not just “audiophile tracks”?  Secondly, synergy and lastly designer’s (manufacturer) integrity... 
We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes
@kennyc  Exactly! USB “won” because it was convenient, not ideal. I’d high hopes when I²S introduced. We all know how that went, not only handshake issues but manufacturers couldn’t unanimously agreed on I²S connector. Ethernet or HDMI, a truly d... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@vinylrestingplace  Thank you for your comprehensive summary of what’s required for high-quality mono and 78 RPM playback. You’ve outlined several key nuances that some of us may overlook or those newer to mono playback.  Congrats on building a ... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@goofyfoot  You’re absolutely justified in treating your earlier mono LPs differently from your later ones—and your eyes and ears are picking up what most overlook.   
Integrated that blew you away
@goyescas  What are your speakers?  Speaker + Integrated synergy is very important so it would be helpful to know what speakers gel with this GATO Integrated.   
We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes
I keep reading the same old stance from folks that either don’t stream or streaming for fun with their fancy analog or CD players. You know who you are :-) It’s not about the data but about the context (emotional, physical, psychological) in whi... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
“I am still perplexed why these two mono groove sizes are not mentioned more often whenever the topic comes up.” @goofyfoot  You may have missed my earlier post where I mentioned that my mono collection is after 1960’s era. Mono records pressed ... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@billstevenson  Thank you for sharing your perspective on two carts and the genre. Like you, I listened to Jazz primarily as well.     
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@elliottbnewcombjr  A quick search lead me to this Car & Driver article. I am sure you can find more articles around the benefits of using a higher octane. I was bit surprised to see the results for Ford F-150.  https://www.caranddriver.com/f... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
“It’s not about the money, it’s about feeling like a sucker. ” @elliottbnewcombjr  It’s all about the perspective under given conditions. You can buy a 10 year old used BMW and fill it up with cheapest gas and not feel like a sucker.  Would you...
