| Whats on your turntable tonight? My sister and brother-in-law moved into my house 10 days ago. Moving back to the mainland, from Hawaii. My house is a transitional landing pad for them for about 2 months. It's been hectic, not much vinyl spinning this last week. Today was a r... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have experience with the box set. It's a bit bright, at least it was on my system with my last turntable. I have not yet played it on my Feickert/Kuzma/Soundsmith setup. I will have to do that and get back to you. The vinyl quality is excell... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable I use William Tell Zero and it is fabulous. That said, if you choose the single wire and jumper path, using William Tell Zero, Audioquest also sells high-quality jumpers that you can buy either as silver or copper wire. The terminations are your... | |
| Talking about service! I'll add another good story of quality service from one of our industry vendors. BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) is the vendor/brand I wish to mention. I have BAT products in my system. My amplifier was eliciting an odd sound, but only on occas... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @scottiet I couldn't agree more with you. Great report! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Kenny Burrell with Coleman Hawkins - Bluesey Burrell I have played this a few times as of late. It's really a great album. Steely Dan - Two Against Nature Got this last week, second time playing it. AP/QRP new issue. Makes the most out... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My mistake, I also have a UHQR of Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced. I hope that AP does some more UHQR issues. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A couple of classic jazz records. Mingus - Ah Um Music On Vinyl issue, and it is quite good. Very quiet vinyl. Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue AP/QRP UHQR 33rpm. AP really did an outstanding job with reinvigorating the UHQR process. Price... | |
| NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING @2112oracle I don't have a dust cover on my turntable. But for all other plexiglass products (screen in the car, plexiglass faceplate on the instrument cluster in the car, etc.) I use a product called Plexus. It is made specifically for plexigla... | |
| Talking about service! @mijostyn Thank you for the information and good comment. Your contributions always attract my attention. | |
| Talking about service! It was a choice between a Hana Umami Red and a SoundSmith Sussurro Mk II ES. I chose the SoundSmith for all of the reasons cited above. Peter Lederman called me back (after having left a message about a technical question), which I found to be o... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve, try playing permanent hookie. In other words, retiring from the workforce. I was fortunate enough to be able to do that at 63.8 years of age (4 years ago). Life is too short; I went through several injuries and rehabs and work was just g... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Some albums are just meant to be played loud. Some are meant to be played even louder😃 Unfortunately some recordings (poor SQ) require that you play them not so loud. Count Basie - Basie Jam I have all 3 of the Basie Jam series. Haven't ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick This is the Steven Wilson remix, just came off of backorder. Rather disappointing, sounds like a standard CD. My other Steven Wilson remixes (Benefit, This Was, Stand Up) all sound vastly superior. The Allman ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? George Benson - In Flight An original pp from just when it was released. Sounds fantastic! I wonder why this thread has been removed from the Daily Recap that goes out each day. Today is the second consecutive day without it. Anybody have ... |
