| Some interesting stats from Discogs Thanks. I've noticed a price hike on used records this year. | |
| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? @mijostyn Don’t use those acoustic foam tiles. They sound bad. I had a bunch of them and thought they took the edge off but something wasn’t right. When I removed them, everything sounded nice again. They distort the sound and add a grey harshness. | |
| Audio Technica AT7V cartridge stylus replacement and/or swap If it sounds bad and is on its "last legs", you are damaging your vinyl. Are you cleaning your records? If not, buy a SpinClean and a few gallons of distilled water. The VM540ML is a decent replacement. | |
| Odd problem with TT setup... @geof3 How did this work out? | |
| Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100? What krens0006 said above. The D7 or 9.2 would likely be all you’d need if you like a lot of detail. The Harbeth and Spender 100 a little less "aggressive."Hold off on the subs (you need 2!) until you get the speakers. See how you feel then. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Various – The Sound Of Music, Original Broadway Cast (Columbia Masterworks 1959 mono)Interesting. They seem a little further back than the last time I played this. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Prince And The Revolution – Parade (Warner Bros. 1986)Bought Prince albums when released and this is as minty as ever. Stunning SQ. | |
| Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover This might help:https://www.electronicshub.org/capacitor-color-codes/#Capacitance_Color_Code_Table | |
| Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100? I've not heard the Classic 100 but have heard the SP100R2 and they need a lot more than 1m from the front wall. | |
| Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100? Before you do any subwoofing, you should use at least 2. The newer S series RELs should be more than enough. I wouldn't bother with the Stentor. New RELs are faster and tighter. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Leo Kottke – Leo Kottke (Chrysalis 1976) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo Muir, Ed Trickett – All Shall Be Well Again (Folk-Legacy 1983) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band – This Kid's The Greatest! (Good Time Jazz 1962 mono)Superb recording. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Donovan – Donovan In Concert (Epic 1968) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Sting – The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (A&M 1985)This album sounds better with every system improvement. I recollect it being bright and garish. Tonight, it sounds great. |
