| Take Two 2C HiFi Epiphany - Worlds Best System? I agree, above my pay grade also. But, we can all dream. This system just goes to show how lifelike 2C analog and digital audio can be with carefully selected symbiotic components and a not insubstantial amount of money. | |
| Audio Rack Selection If you want a recommendation, look at Core Audio Designs: http://coreaudiodesigns.com/products/component-racks/Their products look and perform perfectly. I use one with a TT and McIntosh system. See my previous post on this system. | |
| MOFI Yes "Fragile" UD1S (One-Step, Supervinyl) I agree entirely with the OP. An absolutely superb pressing and outstanding SQ. Like "mofimadness" I have all the MFSL UD-1S pressings. My favorite is still Bob Dylan's Blood On The Tracks. Strange, because I never considered myself a Bob Dylan fa... | |
| Need a new Hi-Fi rack? I use a Core Audio Designs custom rack with my TT setup:http://coreaudiodesigns.comResults are perfect IMHO. Not only does this rack look beautiful, performance is spectacular. You can actually jump up and down in front of the rack with absolutely... | |
| Refurbished/Rebuilt Reel To Reel Tape Deck I agree entirely with "roberjerman". | |
| Refurbished/Rebuilt Reel To Reel Tape Deck I plan to buy/use pre-recorded tapes from The Tape Project ( https://tapeproject.com ), Opus 3 ( http://www.opus3records.com/am_list.html ) etc. | |
| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity I agree with the OP entirely. Great review mofimadness, thanks. I have the MFSL Dire Straits and Love Over Gold 45rpm disc and to my ears they sound about as good as they are ever going to get. To top it all the packaging is superb and the disc ar... | |
| Customer Service at Bowers and Wilkins Agree, B&W customer support is outstanding. One of the tweeters on my nearly 20 year old N801 speakers failed. B&W were extremely helpful diagnosing the problem remotely, sending a new tweeter membrane and issuing a very helpful video on h... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. This is sad IMHO. I first owned a 3009 S2 in the seventies and now a MKIV. Outstanding products, that look beautiful, work perfectly and are extremely well made. Plus exemplary customer service, what more can one ask for? All I can say is, my SME ... | |
| Turntable recommendations I have a Michell Engineering GyroDec fitted with an SME IV tonearm and Clear Audio Maestro V2 Ebony cartridge. Not only does this TT setup look visually stunning it is also audibly stunning IMHO. More details about my return to analog after a 35 y... | |
| Audiophile Magazine Recommendation Big fan of the British publication HiFi News, been a subscriber for over 45 years. Great reviews on everything from budget equipment all the way up to eye watering prices. Excellent opinion pieces and thought provoking journalism on the industry a... | |
| MoFi Dire Straights ‘Love Over Gold’ lp I also just got notified, by Music Direct, my 2 LPs (Love Over Gold ordered 6/17/17 and Dire Straits ordered 11/20/18) are ready to ship. Good job I am a patient man! | |
| MoFi Dire Straights ‘Love Over Gold’ lp I contacted MFSL Customer Service on Monday re shipping the 45 rpm Dire Straits and Love Over Gold LPs:"Thank you for the email Marcus. Those LPs should arrive here within the next 7-10 business days and would begin to ship then." | |
| Turntable I have gone through an almost identical exercise, getting back into vinyl after a 35 years absence. For more information see: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7324 . Based on my experience, setting up a TT/Pickup arm/Cartridge is not difficult... | |
| How about the Mcintosh C50 preamp I use a McIntosh C50 in this system:https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7324Very happy with the C50, looks and sounds great plus legendary McIntosh build quality and reliability. |
