| 78 RPM - Potential for better sound than digital? Well, as good in what way? as low a noise floor? no, but you won't get that with an LP either. I have heard plenty of 78's that sounded better than cd's and many sound bad just like many lp's and cd's sound bad. A key thing is that there is very l... | |
| Which ARC Linestage? well on the cheap side, the sp-14 fet stage was the sleeper. It didn't have that bloated weird sound some of the lower line (and even some upper) arc stages had. | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? i own two studers and two ampex decks as ell as some quarter track machines. I don't play pre-recorded tapes that often but it's a habit i might change. | |
| Question about B&W 801 the crossover is different. I have the limited edition matrix 801's that say "abbey road " on them. They have the series 2 crossovber and tweeter. I changed the crossovers to northcreek which smoothed them out a lot.Now this doesn't make them more... | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres I am curious what you would switch to! | |
| Dunlavy SC VI? i think they are great, had i known how great i would have waited for some when i got my IV's! | |
| Anyone has Dunlavy V impedance Curve? i have found that 4 ohms for the bigger ones does the trick. I think they are float around 6 and then go down. | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue no one ever seems to say this so i will say it again...many older records were done through a fairchild limiter and more importantly were hotter in the upper mids and cut louder. I find this to be very true with 1500 series blue notes vs the remas... | |
| Best 5-10 Rock Recordings? i'd have to disagree here. "Brothers in arms" is a lousy recording if you ask me.rock recordings are more about suiting the mood, not pure sonics. also i feel great recording has to have great music in front of it.a few off the top of my headrandy... | |
| Analog - Basic Tools reference tones, out of phase pink noise and a soldering iron are all good. I think a sense of humor is good too. I's very easy to get caught up in wondering why your preamp doesn't resolve the bottom octave on a particualrly dear lp, until you re... | |
| Review: Alaap Audio (Doshi) Mark II Tube preamp I had wanted to write a review of this great preamp too, but had not got around to it so it;s nice to see someone getting Nick a little credit. My previous phono stage was an Aesthetix Rhea. The doshi stage embarrassed it. My previous line stages ... | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? I'm not sure i understand dan. I use a din discovery cable with that armboard. As long as it isn't a right angle one, it seems okay. | |
| STEP UP transformers ?? the BENT's are very good acording to doug deacon whom I trust about everything other than which Moterhead record I should buy next.In the pro audio world, jensen transformers are sort of the last word. I used to run a pair with a lyra helikon and ... | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? i chose a micro seiki max 282 arm. I think the table is wonderful. Very neutral, deep transients, good speed, no bloated sound. Thom is a dream to deal with. | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable I am very happy with my galibier gavia. Mine has a gavia platter but you can probably get a serac platter and cut some of the cost. Thom is great to work with and I don't plan on ever buying another turntable. |
