| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Sorry…but time to dump their tables too. I was really really interested in checking them out but have heard way too many iffy things about their service I do like Music Direct though…a lot. Too bad they got mixed up with Mofi. Sorry MoFi (and ot... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @rauliruegas Your posts are much more concise of late… nice. | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? Actually New “Tung Sol” efforts have been great …their el34b was my very favorite power tube. ymmv | |
| $300-$500 Cartridge for Thorens TD-1601 Turntable Love the Nagaoka 200—would look no further. Absolutely superb cartridge. Funny, if I ever buy a new table …will look very seriously at the 1601. Let me know how it works out if you go that way. I would personally avoid the Ortofon Bronze, FWIW. | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @vonhelmholtz I say this because getting analog right can be an unexpectedly expensive endeavor. Well said, I could not agree more!!!! | |
| What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using? if you get a reputable, established provider, they will let you demo them for a few weeks before buying…so, there’s really nothing to lose except maybe the cost of appts. There are many types and degrees of hearing loss…but I’m hear to tell you ... | |
| Siemens EL 34 FWIW…the best I’ve ever tried the New production “Tung Sols” EL 34 B. It is a superb tube…and made my musical reference RM9 MK2 sound glorious. | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated Absolutely love the idea of integrateds but even the more expensive ones seem to have been handily outperformed by even modest separates (in my system ). I wish it were not so. Some of the integrateds that people rave about are beyond my reach fin... | |
| millercarbon Some of you sound lovelorn (yikes). Let it go, he’s gone and we’re better for it. | |
| Which MM, MI, or Hi output...Nagaoka 300/500, Clearaudio Maestro, Soundsmith Carmen Nagaoka is a great cart…it makes records sound like records, Many of these carts nowadays are too thin and sterile to my ears. Like @mr_m Ive found found Clear audio MM to sound bright, thin. FWIW, I’m unimpressed with their lower tables too beca... | |
| Phono pre amp suggestion The Vincent Pho 700 or 701 is an awesome piece…In my opinion, you have to spend much more to beat it. | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? Not sure how everyone’s records are getting so dirty. I live in the desert and (as I said before) as long as I use a Big Brush, the dustcover and put records back in their sleeves when not in use that’s all that’s really needed. My records continu... | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? I would never own a turntable without a (convenient to operate (I.e hinged)) dustcover partly for this reason! I know that’s a dealbreaker for some (we must choose our battles). | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? In my opinion, people make wayyyyy too much of record cleaning. As long as you have a Dustcover and put your albums in their sleeves, a clamp cleaner (especially effective on those from the used bins), careful handling, and a Big Brush are all... | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? https://groovmaster.com/ this one. Clean them in the sink. And no, I’m not kidding. I have a “system” consisting of microfiber cloths, distilled water, Dawn, and a cheap dish drying rack FWIW. |
