| What are Quality of vinyl playback as others state is so much dependent of many things. 180,200 gram stuff is not an ultimate guarantor of better quality. The Only area a heavier pressing can give is a lower chance of notable warps from pressing. They also... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Audio cassettes if they were the higher quality pre-recorded ones or better yet a properly recorded onto blank have a high level of fidelity. I find that the slight added hiss using for example Dolby B on recording vinyl can like the dither added ... | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? The thing is, many listeners have never truly listened to a quality cassette recording on a good deck. If one wants to transfer analogue sound of vinyl onto another analogue format one really has it best with a good cassette deck and audio cassett... | |
| An analog question for those who record Back in the day I tried recording onto a VHS HiFi deck and though the fidelity was very nice it was not a user friendly format in trying to search for songs if the need arose or time it took to fill out a long VHS tape in recording.Honestly if you... | |
| cd recorder options Many computers will allow you to connect via the headphone jack. On the Apple MacBook that jack is an in/out jack and will let you record vinyl using even the built in Garage Band. Or you can download free and good software from Audacity or Final ... | |
| cd recorder options If you are looking for a stand alone recorder, you can still find new models from Tascam or Fostex. After that looking for used consumer recorders on eBay etc, I'd look at used Pioneer models or Sony. Both though require the use of CDR for Music d... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Coltrane1,I agree with you on the old JVC higher end units. I drooled over them as a young teen back in the day. I finally bought myself a JVC QL-Y5F last year and love it for its design, looks, usability and yes outstanding sound quality. I'd put... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Fatghost,If your current phono section allows only for a MM cartridge, you will need to stick to MM or look for a HIGH OUTPUT MC cartridge. Low Output MC cartridges will need a suitable MC phono amp.In the budget range for a vinyl system you are l... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Hotmail,The record cleaner you note is the SPINCLEAN Record Cleaner. I bought one recently and it works quite nicely. For $79.95 US it's a good value.I have tried my own DIY vacuum system which though bulky , noisy and clunky worked good. I have t... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous One other positive as a music listener especially when one wants to sit down and really listen, vinyl by its design forces you (though without much complaint by the listener) to sit and listen to a whole side of an album. This will help you really... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Hi,I'm not going to blow you any smoke rings...Shopping for, storing, care taking and playing vinyl is not a casual, so what sort of thing if you consider yourself a fan of quality audio playback. It requires developing a desire to make the effort... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Currently I'm using my Oppo BDP-83 Bluray/multiplayer. Very nice machine given its modest price. The stereo output section has Cirrus Logic 4398 high end dacs.I've also begun to import my vinyl into my Macbook using either Audacity or Garage Band.... | |
| Which turntables? I have no horse in this race as I have never owned any of the three you have listed here, BUT! I truly do suggest that you keep all three and try to use each or maybe rotate each through your system(s) as each are beautiful classics and can hold t... | |

| Stanton Turntable Listening quality - how are they IMO I'd sooner buy a good vintage unit from the late 70's or early/mid 80's and add an outboard ADC unit if transfering vinyl to computer is a part of the goal. Or I'd look at Project, Music Hall, Dual, or Thorens entry level units if you want a n... |
