| I am on the Jazz wagon for awhile,,,or until broke For all you guys that want good jazz you need to go to estate auctions. There is almost always a large collection of records whenever I go and I'm usually the buyer. Yeah, you gotta go through them and toss out the Mitch Millers and such but the o... | |
| VTA adjustabilty... Sayas,A summary:Vertical tracking angle and stylus rake angle are similar in that they use the same contol, moving the tonearm up and down. What Mr. Risch is saying in his post is that one can only approximate the stylus rake angle for the majorit... | |

| How to stop upgrading and aviod going bankrupt???? Do you really want to keep things in perspective? If so, seek out a good vintage system and go take a listen. You'll be amazed at how little progress has been made. If you are an audio gearhead do as Taters suggests. When in doubt buy software. | |
| I want digital audio I like your attitude Budrew. You are growing with the medium you have embraced. I would think that everyone should be excited about what the future holds for digital storage and retrieval. These are exciting times watching the unfolding of this te... | |
| Done and did it again Third the duct tape. If that doesn't work well then go with a glue (epoxy) and some other cone material from a junk car speaker or something. | |
| Analog a dying breed Onhwy61,Yeah, I can agree somewhat. The difference is that when using ProTools the sampling rate is off the chart. Now, if they could place that information on a shiny little disk they would have something. But no, they must have multiple layers/c... | |
| Analog a dying breed I don't have a crystal ball so I don't know. But....1. Redbook CD's will likely be reduced to a niche market prior to vinyls demise or, not be produced at all because of copyright protection. Still, Redbook will be a huge niche market and catered ... | |
| Verdict on Pure Note, Ridge Street w solid state ? The Ridge Street Midnight Silvers are wonderful with my solid state gear. Everything improved. No edge, no harshness and no listening fatigue. Great product. I too appreciate their light weight and no nonsense appearance. | |
| Phono preamplifier onboard or dedicated ? Sstalwar,I've had the very good fortune of using a Supratek Syrah preamp for the last couple of weeks and will be sad to see it leave my house. This unit is so nice it really is hard to believe it's available at the price point of $2400 plus shipp... | |
| Treating records with LAST preservative Tom said it all. I do however use Gruv Glide although at a much lesser level than the instructions say. It's a must for Linn owners because without some type of anti-static the felt mat will lift with the record in the winter which is a major anno... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Greg Allman, "Laid Back"...bought this album when I married my wife 30 years ago. We've listened to it at least once a week since. Wow, that's over 1500 plays on the same piece of vinyl and it still sounds new. Speaking of the original vinyl relea... | |
| Dealing with an unstable, vibrating wood floor... Your walls will definitely hold a shelf. If it really can't then I'd be looking for a safe place to live tomorrow. It just needs to be anchored properly. If the wall stud layout doesn't meet your needs for location then drywall anchors will work f... | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? I re-read my post and wish to emphasize that Zaikesman is a top flight member and I appreciate his suspicions. We do need to look out for one another. Thanks Zaikesman. To answer your question about when I'm getting mine: probably never. It's a mo... | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? Zaikesman, I respect you and like your posts. And man, do I ever love healthy skepticism. I've gotta say though, troll or not, the Berning ZH270 is the finest piece of equipment I've ever listened to. I've heard them biamped with Merlins and Salon... |
