| Whats on your turntable tonight? @nicks25 best to you and an excellent rehab outcome. You will get out of it (the rehab) by what you put into it. Be diligent and follow the direction of your physical therapist. You can get back to 100% if you do so. I have had my unfair share... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? I was fortunate enough to have seen most of the Classic Rock groups listed in this thread. And many of them multiple times. I won't even begin to make a list. However, these are 6 notable ones I will mention.Janis JoplinJefferson AirplaneJethro... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? To answer the question, I ordered the Dynaudio Contour 60i in Piano Gloss Black. Though I wanted the Gray Oak High Gloss, that would have clashed with the Zebra Wood I have in my listening room. High Gloss Black works well with other appointment... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Been out of it for a while, other stuff going on.Yesterday I found time to play something I have not listened to in many years. Chicago, first album, 'CTA'. I had an original in high school that got trashed on my parents Magnavox console. A yea... | |
| Manufacturers And also Manley Labs. I bought a Manley Chinook (phono stage) and it had a catastrophic failure in one channel, within a month. I got a new replacement unit from the dealer, approved by Manley Labs. After about 2 weeks the owner, EveAnna Manley... | |
| Manufacturers I have had the same high quality experience with Balanced Audio Technology (BAT). One of the owners (Steve), and even the primary design engineer (Viktor) have spent time with me on the phone. Excellent advice, tremendous help, very personable, ... | |
| Manufacturers I don't care how small of a company you are. Too many opportunities were given this speaker company for all of them to be ignored. Once or even twice would likely have a good explanation. But from what the OP described that speaker company is s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well, my mistake after all. The Bob Dylan album is a brand new copy and it was a gift back in early 70s. However, it is not from the first press as I had thought. It's a 1975 press, and is from Columbia Records. It's very quiet vinyl and the r... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yesterday, end of day...Emerson Lake & Palmer S/T, their first album. I got that new while in high school and played it probably 50 times on my parents Magnavox console stereo. Cleaned it up and, surprisingly, not too bad. And the music is... | |
| Downside to "revealing" system? I agree with most of what is stated above. Over the past 2 years I have built the most resolving system in my life (and I have had a few very, very good systems). There is no doubt that for all recordings you will find differences between them. ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I only use a clamp when the LP is significantly less than flat. That seems to help matters. Otherwise, I find that no clamp does sound the most "open". I chose the Record Doctor clamp because it is light and places no real downward force (via m... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Symposium Acoustics Rollerblock Jr+ under my turntable and this all on a Symposium Acoustics Segue ISO platform. Stunning improvement on bass notes, all percussion, and a wider/deeper soundstage overall. So much so that I have since added more R... | |
| Has anyone compared old to new Audioquest Cables??? I'm sorry, but I failed to answer another part of your question. That is, regarding new Audioquest speaker cables compared to previous generations now selling as used for much less cost. I can't make that kind of comparison, only to more recent ... | |
| Has anyone compared old to new Audioquest Cables??? After having Rocket 44 for about a year I made the change to Rocket 88. There was an improvement in that it did provide a blacker background to music. I tend to believe this is primarily due to the 88 including the Black DBS devices more than an... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I almost forgot... Abbey Road, original copy in NM/M- condition, MoFi Abbey Road (Excellent), and the latest released, Anniversary Edition of Abbey Road. Yeah, I like that album! |
