| Hey, I'm looking for the highest quality recordings from the following Artists: I meant “late 40s and early 50s”. Sorry. Sam Records are special. Flat as pancakes and on very low noise vinyl. Makes you truly wonder why you’d need stereo. | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Thanks for your candor and responding, Mike. | |
| Hey, I'm looking for the highest quality recordings from the following Artists: There are some excellent noiseless LP reissues available from Sams Records, a French label, in the original mono. I have 3 with Chet Baker. Many other artists of the late 50s and early 50s are also available. Very highly recommended for any Baker-... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 Let me get this straight, grisly, you can’t bring yourself to use a Technics TT because DJs use or once used their bottom of the line SL1200, never mind that the 1200G series are better in every way and not to mention that probably hundreds of tho... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? From my reading bits written by audio journalists who usually have only a tenuous grasp of the technology, it seems the MCCI and Leno are a bit different from one another in circuitry. As a user of the MCCI, I simplified things by turning off the ... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Mike, do you have v2.0 or v3.3 of Lino C? Dear Pindac, I’m not sure I understand your last post. Are you advocating a change from XLR to RCA, if the latter and its wiring are using your favored OCC? Regardless of phono stage topology (balanced vs... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience The H 3000 already uses built in step up transformers for moving coil cartridge levels of gain. If you want to use an external step up transformer, you would need to use moving magnet cartridge inputs on the H 3000. I don’t know whether the H 3000... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Interesting perhaps for Mike Lavigne, I just read M Fremer’s review of the Lino C phono stage, which was done using the Krebs K3 and the Schroeder K3 tonearm as source components.He makes a specific point that “sustain” was for him a remarkable vi... | |
| Manley Chinook MK ll vs Chinook Ask Manley. One difference, I think, is that the later version affords 65db max gain; whereas the original develops 60db. | |
| Why aren't all modern vinyl releases 45s? Reference Recordings are not comparable to any average 45. First, they’re not reissues; they are derived directly from live performances, but I agree they’re marvelous. | |
| Phonostage comparisons What bugged me about Whest is the lack of information on their website that would allow anyone to derive an opinion regarding their design and build philosophy. Yet they have enthusiastic fans. Also, I wanted balanced inputs and the capacity to ha... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Perhaps, but why over years have you been so persistently antagonistic toward Richard? In any case, it’s my fault, not Richard’s that I erroneously credited him with a degree. | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Richard Krebs designed and probably built at least the first prototypes of K3. Richard is an honorable gentleman and a qualified engineer. The K3 evidently went where Richard’s brain took it. None of us know what we don’t know about it, so perhaps... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? It’s nonsense to think of changing the plugs from XLR to RCA as a “modification “. All you’re doing is grounding one side of the cartridge coils to effect a single-ended output. Pin2 of the XLR goes to the “hot” central pin of the RCA and pin3 goe... | |
| Phonostage comparisons Wouldn’t the top line Whest phono stages be far more costly than even the most expensive of the units he reviewed? And he’s stated he’d rather not stretch to buy that phono stage due to its relatively high cost, although it seems to be his favorite. |
