| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I am totally with you as it relates to my main system. Due to work and family it probably gets five hours in a good week. It used to get 20+ hours a week when my work desk was in the same space, but since moving the desk not so much. Until I rear... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges As many others in this thread have said, you should just pick the best one you have and play it. Then if you like it and it wears out then just get a new stylus or get a new one. The only reason I might need more than one cartridge is if I spen... | |
| The Impossible Has Happened @chocaholic I would agree that your assessment is valid. I might not have thought about it exactly that way before. I know for me personally when I’m looking at any piece of equipment or gear I spend a lot of time in the real world user forums lik... | |
| The Impossible Has Happened "A direct question. Has anyone ever read a review of new equipment in which the reviewer simply disliked the product? Sound quality far below the sales price, overhyped, chintzy build quality, etc? Has it ever happened?" @chocaholic in respo... | |
| New Pink Floyd release @macg19 here is just one of many sites covering the reaction. | |
| Radio Paradise becoming repetitive? Interesting thread. I am also a contributor and wondered about the repeats. Will continue to contribute and listen but certainly will try out Mother Earth. | |
| Vinyl record cleaning Seriously a number of companies make things like this for use in saving the label when doing an immersive cleaning. I have seen other videos where people just wash the record in the sink and let water run across the label. No no for me on that. ... | |
| Cartridges I own probably a dozen reissues and over 1000 original vintage LPs from the 60s and 70s. To my ear the originals sound so much better than the re-issues but that’s just me. Having said that because this post is about cartridges I recently upgraded... | |
| Disappearing Jazz? Check out Jazz24 streaming radio out of Seattle (KNKX) for a good mix of old and new. I am not a huge jazz fan but enjoyed it enough I became a modest donor to the cause. | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @yoramguy1 I got frustrated with Netgear products a couple of years ago and moved all of my network equipment to Synology. I had experience with them from my NAS. It has been a flawless experience the interface and performance has been exactly on... | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects How about keeping your existing cables, but get a couple of AudioQuest (or similar) RCA female/female connector and then get a couple more RCA interconnects at 10 feet or so. Then join them all together and you’ve got 25 feet. This gives you the ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage I have had really good luck with Totem Dreamcatcher speakers. They are favorably reviewed and a mini marvel. Slightly larger but still punching well above their price point are the original Andrew Jones Pioneers. Both of these can be found used ... | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Infinite Slope Model .6 which I had lusted over since college days. Finally bought a pair, but sold them for some Axiom M80 towers. Big mistake. Bought another pair of the .6 (actually two pair) along with ultimately a pair of Infinite Slope Mo... | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving @donlduck1 I was able to see them just by cutting and pasting the links. Are you tall enough to reach those shelves to remove LPs and CDs or is that primarily acting as storage but not constant access? There was probably a ladder or a stool in the... | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving @nikonnola very nice looking shelves. I have ordered two of the four rack ones for my music area. Unfortunately they are on extreme back order because the company can’t get steel. It’s been a month now hopefully they can come up with some supplies... |
