| Whats on your turntable tonight? Sixteen Horsepower – Low Estate (Music on Vinyl 2013 [CD 1997])Another must-have album. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Just thought you should know that the MyMat has taken up permanent residence on my second rig. Without it, the subwoofer is incoherent. Cleaner and faster all round. Everything comes together with it. Yay! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Can't go wrong with a NM Telefunken! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? 16 Horsepower – Sackcloth 'N' Ashes (Music on Vinyl 2012 [CD 1995])If you don't have this in your collection... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Johann Sebastian Bach – Orgelwerke Bach-Orgel Der Schloßkirche In Lahm 1708-1744 (Telefunken 1975)On the second rig with sub. | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. I've had lots of Telefunkens and believe they are the most neutral and transparent. Until I tried Shuguang Black 12AX7LS from Grant Audio. | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension @mijostyn Yeah, it was a stupid mistake of temporary gross hamfistedness. I was adjusting VTA with the arm in it’s friction clamp from which it escaped. I played half the side before intervening. Record seemed completely fine when played on other ... | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension That bites. Happened me with a rare Decca Grey Garrott Bros. But I had manage to send it bouncing across a record. Funny that I didn't know the diamond had been ripped off leaving a naked clasp like an empty engagement ring. The metal prong played... | |
| Flat screen between speakers, again. cheap foam absorption panels that are quite light. Never use pyramid foam. It sounds bad. I tried it and now it's stacked in the corner. | |
| Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings) FWIW, I have a large room with one sub. REL S3. It's fine but I find what I wrote above to hold true. I'm saving for another. | |
| How is MC, I got a laugh from your response. But, I guarantee you this: In time, you too will have monoblocs, and you'll be telling everyone that it's the only way to go. | |
| How is MC How could you not consider monoblocs as an upgrade? Better separation, cleaner bass, darker backgrounds, and no power supply intermodulation distortion. Plus shorter speaker cables. You know it's your next upgrade. | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. Lew, I believe the Telefunken diamond is unique. It's too difficult to fake. Most fakes are in the lettering and logos. | |
| Looking for some more detail oriented / brighter sounding power cords. BLE Rhodium 10 gauge on eBay will do the trick. $40. | |
| Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings) Enough for what? It'll add bass for sure. But you'll end up overdriving it to get as much out of it to fill the room creating a hotspot leading to imbalanced sound. Best to use two, even if they're smaller. |
