| Vintage vinyl or new reissues? I agree with Vinylrowe here. It's a really mixed bag. I don't like paying more for a reissue than an original, unless the reissue is outstanding. Some original pressings can be vastly overrated by collectors who insist that only originals will do ... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option I bet it is a fine design. From the early days of DD motors being the standard cheap design, my worry would be rapir costs if something went wrong with the motor. It may be a silly worry with a motor this quality, but on a belt drive table and awf... | |
| Upgrade 20 years old crossovers i upgraded my B&W crossovers and it did a lot for those speakers. YMMV. | |
| Best sounding VINYL labels? Remasters and originals always are going to sound different. Blue note's, Black label chess mono's etc., were all cut hotter and more agressive in the upper mids originally compared to remasters which are usually more "polite". This does not mean ... | |
| Reissue 180 grms vs original issue They will be different. You'd have to decide which is better. And, more importantly perhaps, whether the original is over 100 dollars better. | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II dev, I would call it in another league, if i really heard that. But the system and the room, source material and the time even have a lot to do with it. Duntechs are in another league than quad 57's technically , but if you like quad 57's musicall... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II i never minded doug's system, i just can;t tell what;s going on. the room seems to have real phase issues depending on where you sit.I'll post some pics sometime. You guys would laugh. I don't have a listening room, i just have a bunch of junk all... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II Shad,I am by no means an expert. I am an audio engineer and i do love music and "hi-fi" so i have heard some systems, but i don;t go around to CES or anything.My personal speakers are as follows:Dunlavy sc-IV's (with upgraded tweeter), B&W 801... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II "However, are you suggesting that you don't trust/respect the choices of successful mastering engineers that are demanded by top artists and top producers for their critical listening/mastering skills?"I am saying they shouyld listen to whatever t... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II I never heard a wilson that i thought had accurate bass. But, there have been many iterations of wilsons and they are room dependent as well.My point basically is that you should use what you like. People mix or master or listen to what they are u... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II "I would not hesitate to take a page out of Bob Ludwig's book and follow his choice."I would. He used to use wilson's. very different. mastering peopole have some weird systems. Doug sax has a system I can;t make any sense out of. As long as he ca... | |
| Does digital mastering/remastering "ruin" LP's? the 80's would be a bad way to judge anything digital.Your answer is that it depends. Like analog mastering you can get something that sounds great or terrible. there is no hard rule. The best way for people to judge this is if they don't know how... | |
| What tracking force for Shure V15lll? the v15vmr is a great cartridge for the money. It will track anything. Bob Ludwig used to use one, I remember. They are hardly junk, but they are the opposite of say, a Grado. | |
| What tracking force for Shure V15lll? dan, I thought it was half a gram for the brush? | |
| Review: ZYX Atmos X-SB (low output) Cartridge Thanks to you both for the usual thoughful review.The cartridge sound very intriguing. As my listening is weighted toward jazz and rock, I know that people are looking for a certain about of friendliness when it comes to, say, "Physical Graffiti".... |
