| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade davey, Can you relay what the engineer said as regards the apparent looseness of the Karosel bearing as seen in the video under discussion? Thanks. A very happy birthday to Ivor. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Guys, To simply state a number of decibels is not very informative. It depends upon the distance of your listening position to your speaker, the angle of incidence of your meter, the setting of the meter itself (weighting, etc), how accurately you... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) And I will love you forever, Grisly. | |
| Recommendation for phono stage Inna's remark that Sutherland phono stages tend to have a high output impedance caught my eye because as a rule solid state gear have a low output impedance. We can define "high output impedance" for SS as anything greater than 1000 ohms. (For t... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) Plastic CDs definitely do lose information over time. Streaming is probably closer to lasting "forever", but do the digital tapes that are the source of streamed music not also lose information over time? I don't know the answer. I do know that a... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Johnny Hartman. "Easy Living", on Bethlehem stereo. | |
| Which component upgrade will produce more BASS? After 17 years, the OP is either deceased, disinterested, or enjoying a better bass response. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? 121 posts. Thousands of specific recommendations. I think you are good to go. (Love Dexter and Joe Henderson, BTW.) | |
| Unipivot tone arms Like I said at the beginning of this thread, there are many modern tonearms that could be categorized as "unipivot", but the best ones are actually modified unipivots so as in one way or another to cure the inherent issues with a pure unipivot. Gr... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade davey, Thank you for complimenting my system. I presume you refer to the Sound Lab-based system. As you may know, I also have a pair of fully functional Beveridge 2SW speakers in my second system, augmented below 80Hz by a pair of TL woofers I b... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I guess this thread should be a discussion only including LP12 owners, who also do not own the Bedrock. | |
| Specific SUT with unusual case scenario question from a LOMC N00b Priceless advice is worth what you pay for it. | |
| Specific SUT with unusual case scenario question from a LOMC N00b I would suggest you try to listen without any SUT if your phono stage permits, before committing to a SUT. Too many of these discussions begin and end with the supposition that a SUT per se is beneficial to sonics. From what I read here, there is ... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade newton-john. Of course I see the irony. Which is why I posted. But the title of the thread indicates that the Bedrock is the subject, which, unless I missed something, you also do not own. We have that much in common. Anyway, I hope you know I be... | |
| Unipivot tone arms Most modern (meaning brought to market within the last 10-20 years) unipivots are not really unipivots in the original sense of the term, because most manufacturers have modified their unipivot designs to reduce or eliminate their capacity to rota... |
