| When a Reviewer "likes" something I think we should go private with this argument, if you wish. It has nothing to do with the topic.I can't resist one point: speakers in general have evolved to match solid state amplifiers. Does that mean necessarily that we are left with the best... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Raul, Unless you have the unique capacity to listen directly to amplifiers and preamplifiers without the need for a speaker, let me only remind you that we listen to speakers, not amplifiers and preamplifiers. The choice of amplifier should be det... | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations Why would a felt pad do anything? How thick?Not that someone who uses Mandarin orange slices in water is in any position to criticize. But I do have a little fantasy that goes along with my idea. | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations Here's the thing, Doug. If the cans didn't work, I could always eat the contents. For $3 per footer, you can't go wrong. But I confess I in a sense spent a little more than $3; I had some truly "audiophile" Black Diamond Racing carbon fiber tiptoe... | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations A few years ago, I was visiting a waterjet cutter who was cutting slate for me. He does a lot of work (most of his work) for industry. Around his shop were sheets of very stiff and very light black styrofoam, much higher in quality and structural ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, Sad to say, you've got it wrong. Anonymous censorship without explanation or notification (or other consequences) is now as American as apple pie. It's also emblematic of the computer age in which we live. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Dear Raul, I wrote a long response, but then I deleted it because this thread is about reviewers, not about your philosophy or mine. Anyway, you just proved again that rational discussion with you on this topic is impossible.In any case, I don't w... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Raul, So long as you endow yourself with supernatural perception, you will always be right. But please don't comfort yourself with the notion that the mainstream audio press is the evil empire primarily responsible for the continuing high regard o... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Dear Raul,You wrote, "Why many audiophiles are running their systems with tube electronics? because is the best audio technology? certainly not but because was what the magazynes taught us in the past and we believe it in that way and trhough the ... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Manitunc, This isn't "60 Minutes". We're just a bunch of guys shooting the crap. No one but us really gives a hoot what we write here. I have heard the stories of reviewers hanging on to equipment sent for review purposes for my entire 35-year aud... | |
| tonearm + cartridge for custom lenco 75 Mate the arm to the cartridge. The Lenco will do the rest. Just make sure that your chosen tonearm can be mounted on your chosen Lenco. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Dear French fries, I think you stepped in it when you inferred that lots of dollars should buy lots of power "for most speakers". That reasoning is flawed on many levels. Still, I take your point that $5000 is a lot of money for an amplifier.Dear ... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Manitunc, One of the well known reviewers for HFNRR, the Brit magazine, was several years ago "caught" for taking payola (money or something of value as compensation for a favorable review). Aside from that instance, you are correct; there are no ... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something The last decent underground print magazine was The Listener, and now its creator (Art Dudley) writes for S'phile. At least he hasn't changed in his predilections. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nicola,Thank you for your comment about SoundSmith. But perhaps you misunderstood me. I have all the proper B&O hardware to mount my MMC1 in a conventional headshell. My lament is that said hardware "sucks", as Frege might have put it, if... |
