| Upgrade cartridge or something else? With turntables it's the whole front end, which includes the phono stage, which you didn't mention. Another very important one you don't mention is how and what it is being used with. No not the music. Is it on a rack? Shelf? What have you done to... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? Anybody remember Speaker Lab? They made DIY speaker kits. Their top-of-the-line model was called the Model K. It was a giant corner horn speaker modeled after the Klipshorn. A buddy of mine had four of them, one in each corner of his 10x12 bedroom... | |
| What is a good base for speakers any experience with wood butcher block, granite or slate cutting boards as a base? More DIY than expensive.I have experience with all of these, which is why I recommend springs. Nothing else even comes close. And I am pretty darn good at DIYhttps:... | |
| Improving Your Front End Sound Quality Without a Dedicated Line Deja vu. All over again. | |
| The Weekend So basically what happens is, there's a whole slew of thoroughly unsavory time-wasters here who really should be somewhere else. I do help the genuine audiophiles a lot. Not a week goes by I don't help a couple of them at least, for which they are... | |
| The Weekend I have a very conscious bias against virtue signaling and sloppy writing, both of which you just triggered. WTF did you just say? In English, if you please? | |
| Widex Hearing Aids Fremer reviewing hearing aids. Explains a lot. 😂😂 | |
| Role of sub woofers? You have just discovered what many of us have been saying for some time now, that more subs is better, and not only for bass but for imaging, and making the whole system disappear. This happens because bass is so much different than midrange and t... | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup Any shelf will vibrate at a certain frequency. Depending upon that frequency, there will be regularly spaced nodes that remain stationary even while the shelf is energized and vibrating. If you can locate those stationary nodes and place the poi... | |
| What causes the music to hum and distort when playing a vinyl record There's lots of different sources of hum but the clue here is it starts when the volume is turned up and gets worse until turned down again. This one thing is all we need to know it is a feedback problem. Playing music excites everything in the ro... | |
| Please Educate Me Man are you ever messed up. Put down the Kool-aide! Pass the pipe, you’ve had enough. Records pre-date digital by oh like about a hundred years. When (if) the buzz wears off and the headache goes away it may dawn on your poor addled brain that ana... | |
| Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"? williampowell (if still around, this is looking like a drive-by) you might notice no one has offered anything about how a fuse actually could make a difference. I only commented on the sound, not any reason for the sound.The old school simple EE a... | |
| Interconnect RCA Cables between Preamp to Poweramp What you are hearing is the cable. What component is at either end is irrelevant. As is what the cable is made of. Look for reviews that talk about how a wire sounds in terms of what you would like to have. Because when you buy that, that is what ... | |
| If Cables Are Not Tone Controls... As I moved up the line I continued to find a more quiet and black background.See my post earlier today about black backgrounds.I am not going to endlessly swap out cables in order to compare and try to find the holy grail. I am so satisfied with t... | |
