| Vintage Dual 1228 Turntable : worth to upgrade cartridge ? Radni,The 1228 is by no means the last word in turntables, but it's certainly good enough to get back into the vinyl game. My Dual 1229 is mypersonal favorite and gets daily use. Get a new Shure, any Audio Technica or Nagaoka cartridge. You don't ... | |
| Bill Evans "When I fall In Love" Portrait Riverside Stereo reissue of "Portrait" Jafant,thanks for the review. Will do. It should be here Friday. N | |

| Anyone into cassettes? Anyone have any of the Advent brand chrome cassettes? I'm not talking about the blank ones, Advent has a series of classical and jazz records out on cassette and they were excellent.I also loved their 'pain the neck' to operate but bullet proof ca... | |
| Bill Evans "When I fall In Love" Portrait Riverside Stereo reissue of "Portrait" Jafant,would you you please give me your opinion of the sound quality of the CD version? I borrowed a second reissue from a friend and it has the same test tones as mine. It's funny, my audio buddy never noticed it. He's pretty annoyed now after ... | |
| Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue Uberdine,If you have any cartridge that is suffering from inner groove distortion then you may need to adjust the SRA, or even use a differnent VTA curve when setting up the table. Inner groove distortion is not a cartridge fault, it is a set up ... | |
| Anyone into cassettes? Oregonpapa,Never thought of trying thrift stores. I do find some NOS on ebay. I just wish that maxell and TDK would return to tape manufacturing. Even for reel to reel, I personally always found maxell to be the best in my machines, even when c... | |
| Modern Tannoy, are they good? That's a great question. I would guess that the answer is No, when compared to their vintage counterparts. I have heard some vintage JBL horn systems that were outstanding. The newer JBL, isn't really JBL. It's a Harman company now isn't it? ... | |
| Bill Evans "When I fall In Love" Portrait Riverside Stereo reissue of "Portrait" jafant,That would be awesome if you could check the original. Looking forward to hearing from you.N. | |
| For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s. I moved a few years ago and then decided to 'listen' to all the masses of gear I had accumulated over the 40years in this hobby when setting up my system again. Krell, Levinson, McIntosh, GAS, Citation, and what I discovered to my utter shock was... | |
| thorens or emt? Then again you could buy an EMT 930, which I believe started life as a Thorens. Then you'd kinda have it covered.N | |
| Anyone into cassettes? Ha! Yes I still use cassettes. I used to be into them big time. Had a Nak 1000, ReVox B215, a Pioneer 1250. These days I've been using a pristine 1975 Nakamichi 500 Dual tracer. I am amazed at how good it records and plays, especially for a two... | |
| I need help with a Dual 1219 that rumbles? Markus1,I have a Dual 1229. It's the same as a 1219, but with a strobe. I run this table everyday, and it's absolutely dead silent. I can't hear even hear the motor when it's running. You either have a bad idler wheel, or the motor needs to be ... | |
| Bill Evans "When I fall In Love" Portrait Riverside Stereo reissue of "Portrait" Thanks Alan, good to know. I realize my copy is a reissue, but I am stunned that this got past someone. It's impossible not to notice it.If the Japanese pressing I ordered has the tone on it, I will get a copy of the CD.Thanks again.Norman | |
| Bill Evans "When I fall In Love" Portrait Riverside Stereo reissue of "Portrait" Playing this LP again this evening, I have noticed that that same tone is also on the tracks "Spring Is Here" and "Blue in Green".I just ordered a 70's Japanesse pressing. Hopefully it's better. N |
