| Record collecting versus hoarding In my opinion, one must have a certain number of LPs in order to enjoy occasionally that serendipitous musical revelation, where you spot an LP you hadn’t played in years or didn’t even know you had in your collection, and you experience the delig... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding M, was joking. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Soko, If I have a particular LP in mind, I can usually recall when I bought it. The upstairs LPs are ones I have owned longest. Or there is some other temporal or musical association that tells me where to look. For another example, I have a la... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding It behooves me to have about half or more of my LP collection in our basement, because I have an entirely separate audio system also in the basement, which is finished like anyone’s living room. Generally, the LPs in the basement stay in the basem... | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Dover, I responded to your points privately via email. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Spreadsheet? I don' need no stinkin' spreadsheet. It's all in my head. I have three record storage areas on the first floor of our house and 3-4 more racks in the basement. In each location, LPs are arranged by alphabetical order according to ... | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Dover, AntiCables make several different cables for sale at different price points, and moreover they have recently revised their shielding for more coils per unit length. So which of their products are you denigrating here? I’m using their latest... | |
| Analogue v. Digital...again (Washington Post) Where do you buy the system you listed for "circa 2000"? Presumably you mean dollars and not some exotic cryptocurrency. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Define "big collection". | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Talk to Paul Speltz at AntiCables. He’s an EE. I’ve measured C in a 22 foot run of my AntiCables IC vs another 22-ft of IC with a conventional shield. The AC cable capacitance was an order of magnitude or more lower. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Soon you’ll fill your tent with LPs and you’ll have to move into a smaller satellite tent. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I agree with Mijo that there can be no single “best” cartridge, for both objective and subjective reasons, and have said so. So too have many others. And yet this thread goes on,… and on. | |
| another arm/cart question (long post) Check out the linestage gain. Add that number of db to 60db, and you might have enough overall gain. Also, the input sensitivity of your amplifier and then your speakers figure into the results. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding What’s wrong with living in a tent if it’s in your own back yard? | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Just keep in mind that "well shielded" and "low capacitance" are antithetical qualities, which I am certain Dover knows. Some others might not. Which is why I mentioned the AntiCables approach to shielding that does not add much capacitance. |
