| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive alexberger, you are living in a dream world. After a point you are incapable of hearing speed variations. Any decent turntable of any type operates well below that point. What you do hear is noise particularly rumble which affects everything above... | |
| Next upgrade for my analog source jperry, that makes absolutely no sense. Why would a tone arm make it impossible to use a computer program? If you had a turntable with a built in phono amp with equalization you could still use Pure Vinyl to record you would just deactivate it's e... | |
| Jelco VTA on the fly Not any more. Jelco closed it's doors and is going out of business. | |
| Black vs. Colored Vinyl I'm particularly fond of the marbled ones. | |
| Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records Wow, quite the dissertation. There is some very useful stuff here. Pages 34-36 are very important. I can not fault his technique either. I still have an old bottle of Tergitol hanging around here somewhere. Where he falls short is the section on m... | |
| In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment Hail geoffkait! He just farted and blew them all away. He's getting a free pass to Disney Land China. Really, the timing doesn't mean much to me. Maybe they can sell that integrated in Denmark but a class D integrated for 39 large here when you co... | |
| Next upgrade for my analog source jadislover, I would go for the Lyra. If you go for a phono amp you'd best look at a Channel D Lino C 2.0. It is eons away from any other phono amp in it's price range, just ask Michael Fremer. I am very seriously considering getting one and I have... | |
| I have a weird buzz issue; can you help me solve the problem? Very interesting and strange. It would appear from what I have read that you have covered all the bases except one. The speakers. Please try another pair of speakers disconnecting the ones you have and let us know what happens. I have seen this wi... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Chakster, it is really quite simple. Those Technics tables you like are beautifully made eye candy. For many individuals the visual experience overloads the audio experience. Same thing happens with arrows on wires. The problem is that next to som... | |
| Who's done it besides me ? Justmetoo, look at the bright side. You are certainly saving a lot of money.There are too many variables at play for me to be able to explain your experience. As an example, if your speakers are on the bright side many MC cartridges will sound edg... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? I think I'm gonna be sick. | |
| Subwoofer Question puppyt, don't make life more complicated than it has to be. Just buy another 210 and a good crossover like the JL Audio Or dbx Drive Rack units. Put the subs in the corners like you planned and I think once you get things set up you will be very h... | |
| How many people here generally buy used? Buying Demo units is a brilliant way to buy equipment for a better price. These are usually a safe buy. It usually means that a replacement is on the way from the manufacturer if you care about having the most up to date stuff. I have never bought... | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? That is not to say that there are not some very good integrateds out there. I suppose if you had very efficient, high impedance speakers allowing you to get away with a lower powered amplifier you might be able to build a very nice system. If the ... | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? Absolutely not, High powered amplifiers need to be kept as far away from preamplifiers as possible. Ideally amplifiers should be right behind the speakers with cables as short as possible. The lower the impedance of the speaker the more important ... |
