| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? No mention of Parasound in this thread surprises me. I run an HCA855 using only two of the channels and it is pretty spectacular. I know Parasound isn’t high up on the food chain but they make some very nice sounding amplifiers. | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Don’t mean to beat a dead horse but...This sibilance issue is precisely what drove me toward linear tracking turntables. Anyone else here run linear tracking TTs? | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance I might suggest finding a linear tracking turntable to test your LPs on.....?On the LP “I Robot” by Alan Parsons Project the song “Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You” has a loose HiHat in the recording that is almost intolerably sibilant on any of my ot... | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? Hemispheres Moving Pictures2112 Pretty much in that order | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Yep, I have an original pressing of Some Girls and it sounds great.Cannot say the same for MOST of the reissues I've encountered. The originals are still the best. | |
| Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in I’ll put my two cents in...….. Everyone here might roll their eyes about my suggestion but...… I run NAD vintage preamps and find their phono sections to be among the best I’ve heard..... In particular the NAD 1020A or the NAD 1130. I’ve restored ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @whipsawGreat to see and hear from another 4002 fan. Granted, they are complicated machines but once sorted they are fantastic and trouble free. Really nothing to go "wrong" except the belts. They sound good enough that clients have hired me to fi... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Since restoring the Beogram 4002's I use, I've never had to fiddle with them. They just work.... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Hello. Obviously I’m relatively "new" here but I have a good 35+ years in this hobby. I’ve owned many turntables and have restored and "improved" even more. During that time I started wondering how well a linear tracking turntable might perform...... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? A "vintage" M&K of any configuration will do wonders!!!! | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I'll offer my two cents worth here.....The LP you are using for comparison is highly suspect! Try finding an original pressing or a different selection. Those 180 gram pressings don't necessarily mean you are getting good quality recording. Case i... | |
| Best MM? My personal vote goes to the Soundsmith/B&O MMC20EN. Technically a moving metal cross I know but it does sit in the MM category from a practical perspective. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I'm new here but this is a question that has fascinated me forever. I'm very fond of a particular 12 gauge OFC with 87 strands that is readily available online and seems to suit most systems I put together. I've also been applying a "jacket" to t... | |
| Which Subwoofer would you choose? My opinion might not be relevant here but...…. I have a very high opinion of M&K.. I'm using a restored MX-70B and have never heard deeper or tighter bass. I've auditioned a lot of subs and none come close to it.Too bad it is no longer the sam... |
