| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows All of you people unwilling to beat the snot out of someone who deserves it, tough. Take back the world. Quit whining. | |
| Seeking floorstander for low watt SET I just traded for some Cain & Cain Abbys to use with my Sophia Baby. Amazingly happy. | |
| Tom Waits Bad? I'm a huge, no enormous, no ginormous Tom Waits afficianato. When I was much younger I saw him at the Backdoor at San Diego State (snatched one of the handbills off a pole and have it framed hanging in my bathroom). I own nearly all of his stuff o... | |
| How to pick a tubed integrated without hearing one I use the Sophia Electric Baby that Br3098 mentioned. I run 92db towers in a room 17x30. Not a rock concert levels but loud enough that the conversation volume increases sometimes. Don't worry about the single set of inputs, I use a Kramer vs55se ... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl To this very day I still thank Jax2 for his decision. | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl Rok-come on by and I'll play you a couple of records. | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl Rokdude-honestly it's not an us vs them situation. You seem to want to separate yourself as some modern audio Don Quixote. But, alas, your views about listing to the music is not special. We all listen to the music. All that is different is the wa... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl Hey Inna, what is a "true audiophile"? Or for that matter, "true music lovers"? Your expert opinion and knowledge is so welcome. Enlighten us, please? | |

| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl I see I fed this beast of yours (Rok). The last time my CD player was actually used was 2009. | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl It's not really about "superiority" for me. My Arcam CD player presents a clean sound. It is also very flat as far as depth goes. I simply enjoy the sound of my records and what they bring to the party more. And, as a 58 year old, when i say "been... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl I agree with Elizabeth. Also, I probably hear clicks, etc in only about 5% of my 3000+ albums. If you're hearing it in most of your LPs, you might need to change your buying standards. I sold all of my 1100 albums when cd came out. I was dumb. I'v... | |
| speaker wiring Tp is correct. However, there are a few different connections you can try. I always connect to the HF taps, then jump to the others. Many folks do it the other way around. I have bi-wired before with no discernible audio difference. YMMV. And, of ... | |
| Sophia Electric I use the Baby. If I could afford one of their more powerful amps, I wouldn't hesitate. I've had numerous phone conversations and emails with Richard and his wife. They are very willing to help and friendly. Their tubes are great also. They used t... | |
| Building analog setup-your expertise isappreciated If I was just starting out with limited experience in a new format (other than doing research), I'd let a reputable dealer do the work instead of mixing/matching unfamiliar brands. I'd tell the dealer I had $3500-4000 to spend first. Listen to the... |
