| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital usatran, There you have me (when it comes to Blue Note). True, the occasional pressing is terrific, but on average I find them to be a bit "muddy". What makes BN collectible in my opinion (of course) is the major important jazz artists whose per... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Richard, I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but IC = InterConnect. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State I can’t think of anything nice to say to either of you but particularly to Pinhead. So I will say nothing. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State Yes, you got me. I am in cahoots with Raul to tout the Essential 3160, of which there were maybe a dozen ever made and which were all sold out 5-10 years ago. Lalitk, I am surprised at you. I brought up the 3160 in response to your own question ... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Your Krell preamplifier likely has a very wide bandwidth, which makes it susceptible to RFI in the environment, though perhaps not a source of RFI. RFI can get in by radiation from an outside source like a radio antenna or on the AC line via wires... | |
| AR XA turntable needs new cartridge... The comment I made was based on my understanding of the OP, wherein he indicated at least that he does not want to mess with the OEM turntable and tonearm. Now, I guess you guys have got him talking differently. Sure, a George Merrill upgraded AR... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital I think you’ve received a mountain of advice re jazz LPs. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State What would anyone here thank you for, Pindac? In most cases, you reveal nothing about whatever it is you are praising, as above, and by revealing no names or details of the product, no one here can benefit from either knowledge of it or the purcha... | |
| AR XA turntable needs new cartridge... If you are going to stick with the AR XA turntable in as is condition with original tonearm, you would be best advised either to buy another M97XE or something similar in a similar low price category. That's only my opinion, of course. You may no... | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State I think Raul here quotes the words of Huber from FM Acoustics, not touting his own products. So relax. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State Was it stolen, or did you lose $11K between buying it and later selling it? If the latter, as I am sure you realize, audio gear is not a good way to invest. Also, if you choose carefully and like what you buy, you will keep it for many years. Thos... | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State One never knows, does one? I hadn’t mentioned the Essential 3160 previous to your question about what stage has separate MM and MC circuits, because of its rarity. But if you can find one, I can recommend it very highly. Actually, Raul may be able... | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State My point was merely to correct you as regards the current exchange rate between pound and dollar. First, you estimated that a used Essential 3160 can be found for $2500, and then you estimated you could find one in the UK for only 1200 GBP, which... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL I am impressed that your subwoofers can do zero Hz. | |
