| Turntable mat options Hey Chip,I have had just about every type of mat you can think of and I really do not think the mat makes much difference. I think you can prove this to yourself just going back and forth between your felt mat and no mat. Do use a record weight or... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? I sort of think we are chasing our tails here and Andy you really need to put that stuff down.Oregonpapa, a new tight belt may slow certain types of motors down fractionally turning some energy to heat so there is a rational for the change in soun... | |
| Any tweaks I'm missing? Make yourself really happy and just buy more music. I could say more but the post would be deleted. | |
| How long do high quality speakers "last" mshan, it is extraordinarily variable. Foam surrounds are always a bad sign and these hardly ever make it past 25 years. Voice coils can burn out or unravel and the driver starts making strange noises. On the other hand I have two pairs of Mirage ... | |
| Shakti Stones - How to arrange them? Pewee, your kidding right? | |
| The Biggest Upgrade Possible? cd318, well said and it could not be more true. Human brains are far more variable and uncontrollable than the systems we listen too. One day things sound great, the next day lousy. Same system, same room. What changed? Some people might blame it ... | |
| How many times have you ... wlutke, I have no idea what millercarbon is talking about. I have at least 10 maybe 20 (never counted) exact duplicates manufactured at the same time in the same plant from the same master and they sound exactly the same except for the random pop ... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Markpop, I am a doctor and I do have a complete computerized audio logic set up. We have to test hearing for certain professionals and thank you. You are quite correct. I meant essentially the same thing using the analogy of a cat meow vs a dog ba... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? geoffkait, what in god's name are you talking about? A single experiment can be perfectly valid if done correctly. "Sorry pal" is offensive. Do you really need to be as immature as rodman? All you have to say is that you have faith (The Cure) that... | |
| What is $5,000 worth today, and is it better than 1,600 in the 80's? And yes, in general equipment is much better today than it was in 1980 and collecting music is way better including vinyl. I also think in general mastering has improved. So, overall we are in much better shape and I think get more value for what ... | |
| What is $5,000 worth today, and is it better than 1,600 in the 80's? Thank you rwortman. I could not have said it better.millercarbon, the only reason wars last longer is because we have become more concerned about "innocent" bystanders. In WWII we just blew up everything. | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Oregonpapa, that is a mechanical device where that can be expected and I have personally heard this with several but not all cartridges. My Clearaudio Da Vinci was so shrill initially that I had to make a new EQ curve for it and I was mad as a vip... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Prof, I wish I was as eloquent as you are and Simonmoon I believe you are absolutely right. Everyone is entitled to their own experience. My problem comes when people try to sell stuff to other people that are less knowledgeable and perhaps more g... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Andy, quite correct. At this point I have to be seriously warmed up. The nice thing about old guys is that once we are warmed up we last a lot longer.....as long as we save the sip of wine for after:))) |
