| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Just to summarize my perspective, it wold not surprise me if no other table beats the EMT 927 because the criteria in which such a comparison would be made is totally subjective. There is little quantitative to bank on regarding the ability of one... | |
| Why does most new music suck? "Why does most new music suck"; IOW, why does most new ROCK AND POP suck?"Regarding "rock", that genre, in its purest form has past its prime and is clearly on the decline in terms of popularity.Pop is where it becomes more interesting in that pop... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved I did some calculations and estimate it would take me 5-7 years or more just to listen to every recording I already own once. Then on top of that there are hundreds of digital music sources externally like internet radio stations and music service... | |
| Why does most new music suck? "Someone suggested that I get out of my comfort zone and listen to some new music via Radio Paradise for example. I listened, searched the play list and the reviews and I found that the highest rated music isn't new but older stuff."That's very tr... | |
| Why does most new music suck? "BTW, this would be my suggestion to ANYONE that feels 'new' music sux! Stop wasting time complaining at an audio site and start spending more time at music sites!;)"That's pretty good advice! | |

| Speakers for Electronic Music? OHm Walsh 1000s + Wyred4Sound or similar CLass D amp. ABility to go loud and clear yet remain controlled and articulate can't be beat.Caveat is larger rooms might benefit from a larger model than 1000's, which would exceed the budget, at least new. | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? Not alone so much, but in practice along with the rest needed to make music, yes.The "sweet spot" regarding human hearing is overlooked. We hear better ie our ears have a flatter frequency response at louder volumes. That's probably the biggest an... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? "Analog, like digital, has made strides in the last 3 decades."No doubt.But how much again to get the equipment capable of it? Then how many recordings capable of actually demonstrating it? Then how many people capable of setting it up properly to... | |
| Why does most new music suck? "IOW, my observation is that it is (with several notable exceptions) popular music posters here are narrow, backward looking, and quite conservative in their musical taste and would likely reject rap in a heartbeat."Anyone who would propose Audiog... | |

| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? YEs, no purpose in yet another vinyl versus digital debate. Its pretty well documented already.Good pure analog recordings are the ones that shine most uniquely on vinyl for me.Once the recording and mastering process starts to become digital, the... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Tbg,Of course digital is subject to errors are well and nothing is perfect , but there can be no comparison IMHO either in design or practice between the precision, significance, magnitude or commonality in practice of the errors common or possibl... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The thing is almost every aspect of vinyl record playback is a compromise. I suppose that's what makes it so interesting say compared to digital, there are lots of ways to do it yet no approach is perfect, much less any record being played. So it ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? If it were possible the best tonearm length would probably be no tonearm, or 0 length. Tonearms are necessary evils given the inherently flawed design of vinyl and teh systems needed to play it. Bigger/longer might be OK if done well but is defini... |
