| Questionable Tweak Close your mouth when listening. Sound going up the eustachian tube gets into the ears. | |
| Which wire for internal recabling my speakers? Agree with grannyring on the Neotech. I use it and will add that it is finely detailed too without being cold or chromium etched. but.... I suspect it to be too analytical and on the dry side, without richness in harmonics. | |
| Vintage Stanton cartridge — extreme lean to one side normal? Leanin'? It’s not leaning, it’s bent. It’s a bent parrot. | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 You've one source? Have you considered using a passive preamp? Basically a box with a stepped attenuator. | |
| Rega Elex-R for custom speakers? It will be fine. | |
| PTP Audio vs Garrard 301 An aside, SPH makes an aftermarket bearing for both Lenco and Garrard. I have two and they sound great. | |
| U.P.S It’s best to use a freight company that uses pallets and specializes in transporting heavy or oversized goods. Cost me $600 to ship Quad ESLs some years ago. | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving @fleschler I'm humbled. That's both impressive and disconcerting at the same time! | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens Another option is to see if the woofers can be rebuilt. They can replace the surrounds and re-center the cones. | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens There a couple of pairs of Spendor SP1 on usaudiomart for $1200. Super midrange for low money. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske +1 Britten - Four Sea Interludes | |
| Kt90 Upper midrage forwarness Electro-Harmonix can be a little brittle at the top. Have you given them at least 20 hours? I've not heard the 90s but I have EH KT88s with that attribute. You may do better with the Tung Sol KT120. Also consider rolling the small signal tubes. | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving @donlduck1 Good point. I've a modest 1300+ of NM in record store style (and around 600 VG+/VG stored in crates) and it does take up space. | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving I'm surprised so many folks use bookshelf-style over record store style shelving. It would drive me nuts looking at spines instead of covers! I would build it store style. | |
| Basic question about power/watts It's sorta like this: A Toyota Corolla versus a BMW 540 on the highway at 70mph. |
