| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? Come on guys, you might just be taking this out of context or taking it a wee bit too seriously. It could be a compliment. His CV (not resume) permits him to say WETFHW (IMHO). cheers! | |
| Power Cables <$500 for Digital Sources @megabyte If you must have a fancy power cord the voodoo cables black magic cord looks nice, is heavy gauge, well made, for $325. I bought it not expecting to hear a difference, and, I don’t. But I do like well made things, and frankly it just ... | |
| Technics Turntables...really??? How (or rather why) did this 6 year old thread get resurrected? | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range Lot’s of great suggestions here, only chiming in as another GoldNote PH-10 owner. It does require the LPS to get the best out of it but it’s very good and I’ve spoken with several dealers/distributors other than the guy I bought of from who say it... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? @simonmoon Great quote. That is exactly what I do, sometimes. To answer RVP’s question. No, assuming the car is bad. Otherwise nothing sounds bad to me in my system and even SXM radio is pretty good these days. But I would not sit down to a dedi... | |
| Tube preamp topologies and music I owned a Rogers EHF 200 and while it had gobs of power (KT150 / 127wpc) it was nowhere near as sweet and detailed as the Raven Osprey (6L6GC / 35wpc) that it replaced at less than 1/3 the cost of the EHF (list price) and the Rogers is virtually ... | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? $169. For Christmas 2019 my wife bought me DSOM ($40) and a blue tooth turntable ($129) to connect to my Yamaha AVR. It was the only record we owned. Last time I owned one was 40 years prior. I played it once and found the courage to tell her I ... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? Good plan. Better than flipping a coin or just listening to the ag clowns (myself included). 😉 | |
| Ethernet cables 👍 @tksteingraber Is Main Stream also from Verafi/Mark? | |
| Ethernet cables @mclinnguy Thanks for the reminder about Uptone - I think last time I looked they were not shipping. @tksteingraber Thanks, will check out the thread and take a look at Snubway. I have a Purify and a SDFB although it really belongs with your amp... | |
| Digital LP’s To answer RVP, no. IMO the fact that vinyl is pure analogue regardless of whether it was mastered from a/d matters. No DAC in the chain. But those glorified sewing needles can get expensive! | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @larsman thanks for sharing your speaker journey. Ditto on the hearing loss and tinnitus. For me it’s been over 30 years. I got too close to a massive bank of JBLs at an outdoor rave in London. Midrange loss which is why I chose Harbeth. | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @larsman What did you land on for rock speakers? I agree with you and would not even recommend the 40.3 XDs that I own now if rock / hard rock is your primary genre, even with big SS horsepower. I don’t think that was Alan Shaw’s intent. As a mat... | |
| Thumper’s Mother 👍 (manual vote-up button) | |
| Thumper’s Mother Watch Jerry, he can be a rascal! i’ve got my head on a swivel:) Thanks for the post and take care. |
