Another Music Direct Catalog observation
Oregonpappa, what is wrong with Ella or Sarah? Winnardt, just pick up any Beach Boys disc. Mahler123, definitely but Brahms and Shostakovitch do it for me and Paulburnett what is wrong with the Cribs, Arctic Monkey or Modest Mouse. As for Joni Mit... 
Cartridge Set Up Essentials
Jimothya, your taking too much testosterone. It was Peter Ledermann’s and Frank Schroeder’s advise to use the blank area. Two guys with far less experience than you have. And, if you could read correctly, I prefer to use a test record, my favorite... 
Analog room correction for vinyl
millercarbon, since I can't believe your ears are that bad I can only assume that you have not had more than trivial exposure to more than the most basic room control systems/programs. It does not matter what the source is. We are not talking abou... 
Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better?
1+++ atdavid and jnorris2005. Now for a little anthropologic physiology.There is always noise in our natural environment. Those of us that could identify danger through the noise out-survived those that could not and so our hearing has developed c... 
Upgrading HT and 2channel stereo

Analog room correction for vinyl
Chakster, I collect records also. I hate CDs in their flimsy plastic cases. All my digital in on a hard drive. Like I said I do not care how much "crap" you put on your walls. You will NEVER get the same performance out of a system w/o digital con... 
Sub advice needed
veerossi, I'd skip it for now. You are better of with what you have than trying to fix yourself up with a sub system for that kind of money. The Audiokinesis Swarm is probably the best for the money at $3200 which is a great price for that system.... 
Turntable adjustment
hawk28, make sure the turntable is level. If it is shift the cartridge just a bit to the inside if you can. 
Analog room correction for vinyl
Back to the Acourate, all the functionality is there in spades. I would have to work with it for a while to get use to it and I am not yet sure what the hardware requirements would be other than a dedicated computer, 4 DAC channels for a 2.2 syste... 
Analog room correction for vinyl
chakster, that is simplistic to be polite not that appropriate use of acoustic treatment is not indicated, it is. But no matter how much crap you tack on your walls floors and ceiling you can not do 1/10th of what good digital room control can do ... 
Cartridge Set Up Essentials
Gary, setting anti skate by ear is sort of whimsical. Skating effects mostly tracking ability. It increases tracking and wear on the Left, inside channel and reduces tracking but increases wear on the Right, outside channel. On low level passages ...

Pops, AJ was quite the character. Basis is in Southern N.H not far from where I lived. A friend ( who has a Debut) and I would visit on occasion.He almost got me to buy one of his turntables (gave me a great price on a mildly used unit) but young ...
