| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Ahh, it doesn't work that way. The hot wax markings you're talking about are the same for every single one of the hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions, pressed off that stamper. If finding a Hot Stamper was that easy there would be no nee... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! mglik-Doug Sax was one of the greatest mastering engineers in history.In the mid ‘90s I almost bought Sheffield Labs and had the pleasure of being close to Doug and Lincoln. Speaking of Doug’s gear at The Mastering Lab in Hollywood, one day he ope... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable So unless you use some cable with a twick, like MIT with a box or similar, getting thicker should not effect your sound.Operative word being "should".This comes up a lot. In fact it is your entire thread. What "should" be. What impurities, thickne... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Full orchestra is amazing. Especially White Hot Tchaikovsky. Only other thing like it is Mike Lavigne's. I'll be headed there tomorrow. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! My pleasure. Really wish you could hear it. Not as killer quiet as Patricia Barber 1Step. Not as dreamy liquid as Jennifer Warnes The Well 45. Yet in many ways better than either of em. And those are some mighty fine records. Tom Port coined the t... | |
| Your thoughts on my plans.. Undeserving system? No such thing. High end audio is not about price or prestige. It is about music. Playing music so it sounds good does require a certain amount of equipment. So to a certain extent it does matter what you have. But what you do w... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! So now, the record itself. Visually perfect. Records are physical things and leave lots of little clues. Many times putting a record on the platter the spindle hits the label and this will leave little pressure tracks spiraling in towards the spin... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! It's cute the way you kids think. Like toddlers stacking blocks of wood, imagining it's the Empire State Building. Five minutes and even the worst listener will understand just how far off you are. Like, look. I went to see Picasso. I brought home... | |
| The Much Maligned MP3? There is a school of thoughtIt is an observation. MP3 simply sounds like crap. As well as the inescapable fact that provenance matters far more than the means of transmission.Provenance is history of ownership. Where it came from. Provenance reall... | |
| Comparison between high end preamp and av processor? So have learned it’s difficult to integrate hifi and ht with hope of achieving the best SQ. So thinking about getting a high end processor, eg NAD, Maestr, to get great hifi sound. Problem I have had is that ht sq suffers when signal passes thru... | |
| What’s with the catalog images on the Virtual Systems Section So some of them really are "virtual" after all.Maybe try looking some "actual" systems?https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/615No stock photos there. | |

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! I just had a religious experience.And putting it away I noticed it still has the original sticker: Sam Goody $2.99. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! First impression, gotta say, the cover is mint. Like time machine mint. That thin shrink wrap plastic records used to come in? Really meticulous types would carefully cut along the opening with a razor blade so as to preserve that plastic? Even th... | |
| Visual Confirmation Bias One thing I have learned, so many people here talking about how they hear through their eyes, explains a lot. Reminds me of something I heard myself once upon a time. It goes like this: "Some learn through the eyes by seeing. Others learn throug... |
