| How many remember Don Kirshner's Rock Concert? As a teenager, I'd come home late on a Friday night after "dragging the strip", blasting tunes on my killer car stereo and drinking a few Miller Ponies or Mickey's Big Mouths and immediately flip on the TV and watch Don Kirshner.One of my favorite... | |
| Ortofon 2MBronze; Quintet Red; Vivo Red??? There really is no such thing as a "right" cartridge for any table or arm. Everyone has something different they are looking for.I have owned and sold and installed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of carts and they all sound different.I have a ... | |
| cartridge demagnetization In that YouTube video, it really isn't a demag, it's a deflux. Not the same thing, but I'm sure it won't harm anything and could be worth a try.If it was a real demag, the MM cartridges he claims also benefit from this treatment, would be ruined. | |
| cartridge demagnetization I have done demags on well over 100 cartridges without any problems. It has always worked. I did once accidentally demag a MM cartridge and it completely ruined it, so be careful. The tell-tale signs that it needs to be done is a loss of high freq... | |
| Finally "HiFi" streaming - comments on Tidal??? Justubes2...Tidal is considered "high quality" which means the sampling rate is 16 bit, 44.1k, which is exactly what a CD is. Deezer also has this, but does have some content that is MP3 (320k).Spotify/Beats/Rhapsody are only MP3 at 320k, so a CD ... | |

| Best Transport for Tidal You need to have LMS (Logitech Media Server) running on your computer. Ickstream is a 3rd party plug-in that goes into LMS. I found LMS version 7.8 to work the best.On the links I provided above, just follow the directions. If you have any questio... | |
| Best Transport for Tidal Swamp...it is detailed it here.It's really pretty easy to do.Here is the ickstream official forum pages. | |
| Best Transport for Tidal The only streamer, (it's not really a transport) that I have heard that I liked better than my Sonos Connect, was the Auralic Aries.I really liked the operating system MUCH better than the Sonos and it did indeed sound fuller and more open.Excelle... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Rhino 140g vinyl reissues? Ghost...from everything I have read and found, these are supposed to be the same ones used in the box set.I have the box set and found the LPs to be pretty good. I also have the original US and UK recordings, but haven't done an A/B comparison. I ... | |
| Grateful Dead MoFi 45RPM Vinyl Reissues Qdrone...have you heard the new MOFI 45RPM reissue? While I agree with you that the original MOFI 33 1/3 version is excellent, on my system, the new 45RPM is even better.Just my .02 cents worth...and Fremer has an analog front end to die for, and ... | |
| Killer on a Budget... Sorry, a little off topic. Emotiva got a bad wrap because when they first came out they were...well, crap. I tried two of their amps (one stereo and a pair of monoblocks) and they were indeed awful. Bright, hard, no imaging or soundstage. Fit and ... |
