| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated So disappointed, I thought this thread was going to be about R2R (as in reel-to-reel tape deck of which R2R is the common abbreviation) and I was interested to see which decks everyone had (mine is a Teac X300)! Sigh. LOL | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I specifically limited the style and brand of car based on the availability of certain sound systems. I do not in any way think I can replicate the sound of my home system, but, wanted something pretty highly rated. Most new cars, with integrate... | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed @lewm thank you for your response. As for the VTA, the current cartridge (Grado Prestige Gold) was set up by a shop with the factory mat plus a felt (I think it is) 70's anti-static mat and the two of them together is about the same as the replac... | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed I have a slight twist on the OP's question, in that I have a 70's era Thorens 145 belt-drive turntable that I have introduced a center weight to. As was pointed out, this weight does not affect the platter speed at all, it just takes a slight mom... | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? I went from large Axiom M80 floor standing speakers in my family room, to Focal 906 bookcase sized on stands. The Focals sounded much better and filled the room just as well. They also visually were much more appealing to look at and my wife was ... | |

| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) For those that already have extensive experience with an ultrasonic, is there any prep you do prior to use?

| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) I went ultrasonic a couple of months ago and found a unit on Amazon for $200. Comes with a drying rack and can do up to eight records at a time. Bought some Degritter fluid from music direct to use in the water and all is good. I find it certainl... | |
| Professional Identification help needed! I looked in my Orion 2003 edition Blue Book for audio and see no speaker amplifier ever made by Norman. They have quite a lengthy list of speakers. As someone surmised it looks like a Norman sticker just got placed on this. | |

| Are there any bookshelf speakers that sound good on a bookshelf? I had a pair of Focal Aria 906's that I used in a true bookshelf environment and was quite happy with the sound. They are way below your budgeted investment level, but, are very pleasing to the ear. I used them with a pair of smaller subs placed... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? I remember joining the Columbia Record Club and they had a deal where you can get 50 records for $50 as a sign-up bonus. I have no recollection of which one I picked first. All my other records prior to that had been hand me downs from parents or ... |
