| lps from "classic records" as awesome as axis bold The main thing abut the classic reissue is they have the mono mix, which is a rather expensive record in first state. It's a great mix and a great classic product. Not all of their stuff lives up to that standard however. | |
| Good Analog EQ Speaking as someone from the pro audio community, I would offer that there are a number of excellent eq's depending on your price range. I would not use a parametric eq of any kind with a stereo system. They are a diffferent animal and meant prett... | |
| Blues from the 50s/60s/70s I prefer acoustic blues myself. You can still get a lot of great samplers on Yazoo, flyright, krazykat and document labels as well as others. While there is a great deal of excellent postwar blues, I think blues from the late 20's and early thirti... | |
| best phono preamps? In my perhaps limited experience, the doshi alaap phono stage is the first one I ever forgot was there. | |
| Doug Decan I think there is a new ZYX 4D cartridge Well, there's not need to start a war over the Universe. There are not a lot of more expensive cartridges so am not sure how much budget plays into it. I have never heard a cartridge that does everything well in the sense of flattering the particu... | |
| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape Because no one cares.Really , if you can't sell a cd anymore, it's very hard to sell anything and tape is expensive and no one makes tape machines anymore because they are too expensive to make.In the pro audio community there is an old saw that i... | |
| Are Digitally mastered LPs any better than CDs? don't be too sure vinyl is hi-rez. Much of it is not, call some pressing plants and see what they usually get, you will find a lot of vinyl comes right from a cd master at 44.1. There are not rules of course, but i think this idea is being spread ... | |
| The closest approach...really opinions greatly vary on this. It's really what you like that matters.Some would say stacked quads, which give you more bass , would integrate better witha fast sub (10 inch speakers maybe) as it doens't have to handle as much freq area. | |
| Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's? I find they are better integrated than some maggies. It's a great speaker for the money though not the best rock and roll system. I have mine to a friend, but i have too many speakers. | |
| Cassettes.......pre-recorded and otherwise.... well, it's all what you enjoy. Cassettes are pretty bad from a pure technical standpoint. there were not designed from music reproduction. The wow and flutter is high as is the THD, which is part of what people liked about cassettes i think. MY fa... | |
| stands for stacked quads with decca tweeters hi opus, who were you thinking of when you are saying they make stacked quad stands, wayne or Mye? thanks!~ | |
| Quad 57 refurbishers - who's the best? well, bill thallman here in the dc/va/md area is good. he may order parts from people but he also knows quads really well. I think wayne is good, maybe on the more expensive side?sheldon stokes is a great resource but he may be out of refurbishing... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt They are bold men to fabricate this as well as smart men for thinking it up. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Hi,I have tried doug's belt for a few days now on my Galibier gavia. I can hear the benefits of this vs the mylar belt i was using before. The speed stays on better, I believe as there is a tighter feeling in the bass without losing bass. I will h... | |
| Quad 57 refurbishers - who's the best? where are you? mailing quads is hard. |
