| Arcam FMJ UDP411 Universal Disc Player I don’t care for the Arcam house sound, and they have reliability issues | |
| LP Cleaning Services Update: Vince at PureGrooves cleaned my discs and provided new MoFi sleeves. He is a 10 minute drive from my house so this worked well. Apparently the local record stores that had been drop off sites no longer work with him so I don't know what ... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @tennisdoc56 "the transport came a day earlier than the digital era..." The Digital era started with CDs. | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! The number one thing that I want to know about reviewers, particularly when they are past 70, is their hearing test. Most of us in the hobby are around that age and we all have some frequency loss somewhere. It just doesn't make sense to hear Re... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... This is the funniest thread that I've ever read here. I would love to know if the OP was being intentionally deadpan funny or serious and clueless. To address the question that I think he is asking....which is how to get the best sound for... | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer No budget specified. Cambridge Audio CXN 60 should pair nicely with OP transport. | |
| The Mood Was Ruined @ghdprentice I appreciate the attempt to be helpful, but I really think that the issue of how a tone arm and cartridge navigate an lp has nothing to do with phono preamp, etc. I wasn’t complaining about the quality of the sound; in fact I was int... | |
| 2 for 1 or the PS Audio upgrade route? @jamesgoff writes a pretty comprehensive post above. I will therefore address a peripheral issue. The OP seems determined to be a 1 box solution. Do SACDs and Blu Ray figure in the equation here? | |
| The Mood Was Ruined Thanks for the comments, a few replies. First of all, why would I need to detail the rest of the system? This issue is clearly related to the vinyl and the turntable (I am using turntable as shorthand for table/arm/cart/). For the record it is ... | |
| Do I Need a New DAC? You need a DAC that will play the DSD layer of the SACD. Otherwise all you are listening to is the CD layer. That requires a DAC that accepts HDMI. I output the DSD from my Oppo 105 over HDMI into a Bryston DAC 3. From a cost effective stand... | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? What about Lightfoots Canadian Railroad Trilogy? | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl It’s easy to listen all the way to the end of side on an lp. The timings are short. | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs How many times does one clean a given record this way? I thought ultrasound was used once, and after only again if something catastrophic happened, like if the lp was buried in a mudslide in Turkey. My gut feeling is the improvement made by deep... | |
| Ripping CD's to hard drive I have used: 1) itunes to both a computer and external HD with an Apple Optical reade 2) dbPoweramp with same Optical ripper 3) Bluesound Vault 4) Melco ripper with Melco server Truthfully, at least decent results with all. The best is th... | |
