| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I have in various rooms, a Kenwood KD990, a Denon DP60L, a Denon DP47F, a Denon DP59L, a Denon 55K, and a JVC QL-Y7. Keep in mind, most all of this is original JVC technology with various bells and whistles. I also have a half a dozen various othe... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Several. Santana, opening for Canned Heat, 1969. John McLaughlin opening for Steve Miller Band, about ten years ago....I stayed for 2 songs from Miller and left. A joke after McLaughlin. Leon Russell, first few months on his comeback, opening f... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? No. A few months ago, I was overhauling the basement shelves, and found a box. My tuner. I realized I had pulled it out of one system to make room a year ago, and meant to bring it upstairs to another room. And forgot. and never missed it. The rad... | |
| Tonearms - SME 3012, Jelco, or Schick? I have an SME that I liked with a Benz Glider, but prefer the Jelco 850L if you find one, especially with the adjustable VTA for it. Using it with a Benz Ruby H, and have been happy for several year.. | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions Eket. I have 6 4 cube. Because they have backs, keeps dust to a minimum. Adds strength. They look nice | |
| Seeking advice Well, I just listen to stuff I want to listen to as I break in, and don't really count hours. For me it's about the music I want to hear, not simply sonics. Yes, things sound a little better broken in, but it's a good way to hear stuff you haven't... | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement I realized keeping back-up stuff was a mistake. I sold or listed it. If something fails, I'll buy something then. Then, the stuff I liked but couldn't part with (a good turntable or tonearm, a set of speakers, a phono amp I liked but wasn't using)... | |
| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. Merrill Superpolytable used with Jelco 12" or the current arm, either with a used Benz Micro RubyH or comparable Benz or Lyra. Or VPI Super Prime or comparable model with the 10.5 uni arm, I think it is JMW10, and slightly used cartridge of choice... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. It’s cultural, as many comments say. Many 65+ were the buyers back in the 70s and 80s of higher end gear because we valued music, rock, jazz, blues, in a time when music was a leading cultural, social, even political art form. Not just physical me... | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! I like her expression. Wondering if the wallpaper was the right choice for that rug. He, of course, is oblivious. As far as lamp cords goes, 14 gauge was still good stuff even in the 80s when I ran it under subfloors and in walls in a house I bui... | |
| New Cartridge advice @ jasonbourne71 Have to agree about those 3-series carts being best bang for the buck, and then some. I wish I could find another 304. I also have a NOS S1 sitting around I've never used. | |
| New Cartridge advice If your Q-damping is working well it may not matter. In general, the Denon 3-series carts are light and go well with lighter tonearms, like the short one, while the S might work better with heavier carts, but the Q-damping should make them relativ... | |
| New Cartridge advice I have several Denon DDs, 59L, 60L, 61F, 47F. I have swapped a Grado RS with a micro line retip and a Stanton 881 with vivid line and a finer retip that kept its vtf at 1 or less on the 47F back and forth. And a retipped micro line Denon 303 and t... | |
| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST I agree with the suggestion about tubes or even the preamp. I felt the same issues in one of my systems compared to others. I swapped speakers. Then I upgraded DACs. Finally I swapped my tube amp to a ss (all of this from stuff I had in other syst... | |
| Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation I have same setup. I tried Mirages. Good. Guru's better. Linn Sara Isobarik, good as well. But the best I found and still use are Audio Note K. I have them horizontal on iso puck minis. |
