| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw I have been trying to find Joe Cocker 'With a Little Help From My Friends' for over a year. All I can find is NM/M- used for $400. I have searched for a Speakers Corner release and can not find it. Any suggestion would be greatly appreci... | |
| Tube Amp soundstage IMO, Pass has done it right with their SS amps. As well, Balanced Audio Technology has done it right with their SS amps. I chose BAT SS amp, a BAT tube preamp, and a Manley tube phono stage and am perfectly pleased with them and that combination... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You got me thinking...I just pulled out my copy of 'Brother Where You Bound' for playing tonight.I've owned it since it first released and is in perfect condition. Should add to a great evening of high fidelity music.Thanks guys! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You guys have some music in your collections that I have never heard of. That's the beauty of this thread, new music to discover from verified people who know what they are talking about. I'll be looking to get some more of these new (for me) di... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. I had Salamander and it worked well for a time. Advancing to the Symposium Foundation Rack Ultra was light years beyond. The Symposium product is built with audio function in mind, not just a support system for components. Constrained layers wo... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. Symposium Acoustics is an outstanding product line. I have been using their Rollerblock Jr+ devices along with the Segue ISO for my turntable and it made a significant and very positive difference in SQ, particularly for mid-bass, bass, and overa... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? MC, you really didn't know that Boston is a band? If not then you really missed some good Rock Music from the late 70s/early80s. | |
| What Was Your Favorite “Game Changer” Moment? In 1973, at the age of 19 and when I put together my first real high fidelity music system...A hit on my pipe, and then my first time to listen to Dark Side Of The Moon, on Koss Pro 4 AA headphones.From that moment on I knew that a hit from the pi... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) @mathiasmingus Glad to hear that you are now a Dynaudio convert. I have long enjoyed the Dynaudio signature sound. My new Contour 60i just keep sounding better and better (as you have found). Just yesterday I went back to my new copy of Jennif... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Barrabas, S/T 1974. Thanks again, Slaw, for the recommendation.Led Zeppelin, 'Physical Graffiti' My US Original Pressing from 1975. It's in perfect condition but, still, the production quality (and thus the SQ) leaves plenty to be desired. So... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) @mathiasmingus I tried a respectable tube amp on the speakers and though it sounded very sweet, it just didn't deliver the "slam" that I want. Of course, amps are all very different from one another so I can't speak for what an ARC amp would do ... | |
| Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut @macnet427 The Contour 60i has an amazing soundstage and imaging. Personally, I initially found them to be just a bit bright on the upper midrange and lower high frequency range. After about 35 hours of run in time they became smoother. What I... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) I have had my Contour 60i speakers now for a couple of months. I am not consistently available to play an audio session so at this point I have only about 70 hours of run in time on them. I found them to be a bit bright, initially. After about ... | |
