| In general, how does price relate to quality? Reminds me of those solid gold monitors for $5 mil! | |
| amplifier with volume control I used to be the one US dealer for the British TVC company Music First. Transformer Volume Control done to a high level with Stevens and Billington transformers. The Reference-$18k, Baby Reference-$8k and Silver-$10k are excellent. Especially the ... | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? Almost all my listening is dedicated to vinyl.Only listen to digital when in my office.With a nice headphone rig in the office I am interested. It sounds very good. An intellectual experience. But listening to the TT rig, I am swept away into the ... | |
| amplifier with volume control I lived with and loved my passive preamps for decades. So transparent!But about 6 years ago I thought of trying an active. Man, I was missing so much drive and PRAT. And the active was just as transparent with so much more music. Now on my third a... | |
| Finally, a great stylus cleaner-Onzow Zerodust! Oh, and the top of the Onzow is a nice magnifying glass. | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread Pleased the QSA thread is open up again.Sure wish people with experience with the fuses and stones would contribute more. Being so incredibly impressed with the light blue fuses, I ordered yellow fuses and red stones.Curious about the stones? Goin... | |
| Technics or Kuzma turntable. An HRS or SRA or Townshend platform is a must. Currently I lean toward the Townshend Podium. Kuzma is a great TT but Technics is a major company with extensive R and D and a well deserved reputation to maintain. And you might consider a Triplanar ... | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps The Atma-Sphere OTL are special. I lived and loved SET sound for decades. I got Atma M-60s on trial. After 5 minutes, I knew that I was done with 300B and 45s forever. The M-60s were as magical and musical combined with detail like a great SS amp. | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps The SET sound is magical-the lower the power the more magic. | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps I have owned two Berning amps. Have recently replaced my Berning MicroZOTL with a Bakoon HP-1. LTA makes its version of the MZ and licensed the ZOTL circuit for all their amps.A SET is much richer than an LTA. The latter may have more detail and p... | |
| Daily Record cleaning +1 for the Onzow Zerodust. The best and easiest way to clean the stylus. I use mine almost every side.+1 for Keith Monks RCM. IME, fastest and best way to deeply clean LPs. It is very satisfying to watch the nozzle vacuum up the dirty fluid | |
| Is your now then? About 20 years ago for 10 years prior I adored my Quad 57s! My overall system did not compare to my current but I will always love the ESLs. I only turned away to get the dynamics of cones. Using my system every night for HT, can’t imagine the Qua... | |
| Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.) The Keith Monks is the original RCM. Used by Better-Records, BBC, Library of Congress, etc., etc.After decades of refinement, the KM RCMs no longer use the maintenance heavy string method. The nozzle vacuums off the dirt with a medical grade Germa... | |
| Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B Can you avoid the terrible taxes by buying used? | |
| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! +1 for Atma-Sphere MP-1 fully loaded. It is about $28K but about the best for vinyl. The phono stage is not merely an add on but takes up half the preamp-8 of 18 tunes (12AT7s and 6SN7s).And be sure to roll the AT7s for NOS! |
