Anti-skate
Raul, it is something that I "found" with my previous turntable set-up. The "question" is something I could tell you(you being someone who is having difficulty setting up things, or is forced to use test records for this.). The "question" also is ... 
Lehmann Black Cube owners.
Tvad, is that weight in conjunction with the brass cones? I've got some brass floor savers I could try. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Kijanki, thanks for the info, and Albertporter, it was a feeble attempt at humor. I went to the live versus recorded event hosted by BAAS on Saturday. It was held at Cookie's studio(She formerly worked for Windham Hill.). A wonderful musician play... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Kijanki, that end to the sound I was describing about cd's might be dither, and if it is, I'm not sure that digital will ever fully satisfy me. Although, if I like the song(like Paula Cole's, "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" on the 1998 Grammy No... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
This is not a digital versus analog viewpoint on my part. It's about enjoying music. For instance, before I wouldn't listen to lp's made after 1982 in case digital was in the mix somewhere. Even drunk(not me!?), you could feel the relaxing nature ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Tbg, I see you have a very resolving system. I am not anti-digital, as I just recently bought 180 cd's, and I feel the damage that digital did to music was mostly done in the past. The only Halcyonic isolator I could find costs $7,500(their headqu... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I just recently got my analog(Linn Sondek, Ekos, nude Archiv, Lingo, Mana table, Lehmann Black Cube SE) going. It seems to me that if you listen deeply, digital has an end, or something, to the sound(dither?), and analog doesn't. With analog, all ... 
New to Analog and just played my first record in
Grannyring, Palasr gives some good advice. Your turntable is not up to snuff. I would also suggest that when you get a proper one, that you compare how the music makes you feel. Good analog is very relaxing. Digital has almost a "did you hear that... 
about to jump into the power cord foray
I can't let the "use of herbs to treat disease" comment get by unimpeded. So, for all those thousands of years that herbs were used in just that way, people were wrong? Don't they call that arrogance? 
PC: Synergistic Tesla, Lessloss, Transparent MM
I want to mention that there is a synergistic effect in using all Lessloss pc's. This may not apply to all systems, though. I used Lessloss on my Oritek pre/dac, which was a greater improvement than using one on my APL Denon 3910 that I use as a t... 
Lessloss PC for digital source or power amp?
I believe that the Lessloss pc on my APL Denon 3910 provides about 60% of the improvement I got when I used it on my Oritek preamp/dac. It replaced a Volex 17604 on the APL(which I use as a transport). The only areas that I would question the use ... 
The best CD Player for the money
I just wanted to mention that I got about 60% of the same improvement that I got on my pre/dac(Oritek) when using the Lessloss power cable on my APL Denon 3910 that I use as my transport. I just mention this to show that power cables can have an i... 
Calling for inputs on Oritek X-2
As I remember it, the X-2's speed was what I liked over the X-1's. I just recently heard the X-1's used as a digital cable, and speed was not an issue. Note: These were not used in balanced configuration. I also think that the X-2's lacked a grain... 
Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs
Duane Allman on "Loan Me a Dime"-Boz Scagg's first album. Gary Duncan on "Who Do You Love"-Quicksilver Messenger Service's "Happy Trails" lp. Some early Neil Young stuff is in the same category. 
Lessloss PC for digital source or power amp?
I have a Lessloss on my transport, and it was in another category from Volex 17604 and Valab(ebay)pc. If I had one Lessloss, it would go on my preamp/dac. When I added two to my Nuforce 8.5 amps, a synergistic effect took place. There was no hint ...
