| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? As far as the LP12 goes(which I own), there is no question in my mind that the newest, maxed-out one has a much more silent background than the AC motor ones. I'm unsure if the tune(Linn's basis for audio equipment judging, which actually means w... | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? I agree with audiotroy, but would compare it(i.e. Rega RP8) to the new Technics, which shouldn't be hard to find(I'm talking about the Technics here.) I missed listening to the Merrill, as they were putting it away at the California Audio Show. ... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G This is not a fair comparison, but from what I've heard(on YouTube?), the RP8 sounded very good. On needle drops and in person, I found the SP10 not as good as a Linn lp12(note: the Linn was tweaked, and it was mostly the Technics 1200(old versio... | |
| Cartridge recommendations I actually thought Chakster was giving good advice. You might not like how he presents it, though. I prefer his no b.s. way of speaking. | |
| Anyone Ever Figure Out Who Really Designs And Build the Kiseki Cartridges? You mean that bald spot(due to hair donations to Kiseki) I'm putting up with might not have been necessary? | |
| HELP PLEASE - VPI Classic Signature 3D Arm or Dr. Feickert Woodpecker Jelco Arm I just want to respond to Raul. I agree that digital is getting better, but don't fall for the "it's more accurate" argument. One way to determine is whether or not you are actually listening to the music, or are you thinking about something els... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Geoffkait, I've been trying to put across the "emotional involvement"(of analog) idea for a long time. I used examples such as: thinking about the next song, or doing something else, and admiring the quality of the sound-all of which is an indic... | |
| Advise on TT Support Platform Robes, do you know the difference between the conscious mind and the subconscious? An example of possible mistakes made by just thinking would be: You sit in your house, thinking of a car tune-up. First, you think I will do an oil change, then ... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? ethiessen1, towards the end, the Dead were listening(to each other?) through headphones, and that may account for them not playing together as much. | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? I don't know what it is, bdp24, but I would have to disagree with you about The Band, having seen them and the Dead on New Years Eve at the Civic. While the Dead's Thursday show was otherworldly(Lesh, in the second set, was bouncing bass notes of... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? bdp24, I have to disagree with you about "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". My reason has to do with the time it was released. The very first day it was released, we listened to it, until we knew all the words. It also was so different fro... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? bdp24, I can't let you get away with what you said. When the Dead really clicked, no other band in the world comes close. They didn't always click. | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? I think Jerry's guitar playing had a lot to do with timing, and not the actual sound. I don't dance, but when I heard Jerry(and his band) at the Stone, my feet began to move. | |
| The one that got away A fully upgraded Linn Lp12 turntable for under $10,000, but I look at things differently than most. If it's not there when I look later, it means it wasn't for me. | |
| Class D Technology The difference, way back when, was in the highs, where Class D was kind of grainy compared to a single-ended transistor amp used for comparison. |
