| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection @larryi +1 I had hundreds of classical lps in the mid eighties. I was so tired of surface noise, static, dust, poorly judged side breaks , etc, that I thought CDs were a godsend. I still prefer digital, but there are just a few lps from ba... | |
| Audio Issue with my Audio Technica AT - LP 120 USB Turntable It seems like you have isolated the problem to the turntable. I don’t know much about usb turntables but I assume the usb is there potentially to record the lp to a hard drive, and that if you are just playing an lp without recording it, it isn’t... | |

| My favorite classical recordings I just bought her Goldbergs. It’s really excellent particularly in the first 12 Variations. She tends to lose the line a bit in the Black Pearl and some of the longer variations, but it’s still a great disc. I would like to hear play them agai... | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip I would just go with something like the Dragonfly, until she really shows that love of sound is going to be a long term interest and not just a passing fad. Saying this as someone who has been down this road with a couple of my kids | |

| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. Sorry, at $150 budget, you are pretty limited. Without trying to sound like an audio snob, at that budget you won’t get highly revealing gear. Try Wiim or iFi products . I haven’t heard them but budget audiophiles seem to like them. By the way... | |

| Synergy Not sure how much of a rock and roller RV is….his Classical posts are are very informative | |
| Accurate Sibilants: The Ultimate Audio Challenge? I can’t answer your question but agree with your observations | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges OP, since you devoted a fair amount of space to describing the behavior of 1 nasty member, I think that you should finish the deal and name him. He will probably be upset but it would be of benefit to others here, and what the heck the two of you ... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. My last post under powered speakers, should read “amplifiers “ and not “pliers”. Questions you should ask yourself Have you defined a budget? That should be step #1 Do you intend to stream solely from a service such as Spotify? Or do you als... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. I neglected powered speakers. These basically have a pliers inside them, and then they typically are configured to accept Bluetooth, WiFi, and Ethernet, and usually you can plug in components such as CD players or turntables. So if I was you, ... |
