| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? @millercarbon 5" is what I have so I only speak from experience.I know you have a lot of concrete in your rack. But if it's sitting on bouncy floors, what then? | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? +1 You can't have a good turntable rig on suspended floors. You can bolster it and reinforce it but there's no beating 5" of concrete. I tried once. Now I'm in the basement.Not sure I agree with using any old subs, @millercarbon. I replaced an old... | |
| How much difference do lower mass cartridge clips make in playback? I knew an audio tech who soldered the headshell wires directly to the pins of a Linn Asak. Amazingly, it worked and didn't destroy it. | |
| Frustrated with Vinly @averyclarkMy TT setup is probably Mid-FI -(1200gr/ATvm540ML/Elac PPA-2 Phono) at best. I have that cartridge. It's pretty good. I bought it as a reference point to judge my three $800-$1750 (used) Deccas. Suffice to say, and I was pleasantly surp... | |
| New TT for ~$1500 To keep things less complicated, consider the Technics 1500GR with a Nagaoka MP110/150/200. Obviously, the better the cartridge, the better the sound. These are very musical. Go for it. | |
| New TT for ~$1500 Wow. America's just not as great as it thinks it is. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joe Williams, Harry "Sweets" Edison And His Orchestra - Have A Good Time With Joe Williams (Roulette 1961) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Sylvia Syms - For Once In My Life (Prestige 1967)Great voice. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ella Fitzgerald - Sings The Gershwin Song Book Vol. 1 (Verve 1959) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Beatles - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies (Parlophone 1966)Ha ha ha... BLOWS away the 2019 Abbey Road reissue. You can hear their real voices. The rosin on the violins and the cello vibrations. Louder and way more dynamic. Drum kit is real. H... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Beatles - Abbey Road (Apple 2019 RM) | |
| How much difference do lower mass cartridge clips make in playback? I could imagine that the less flexible, stiffer headshell wires may vibrate more than Litz types. Likewise, slightly loose clips may resonate causing distortion. I’d like to try a single strand of pure silver wire wrapped in silk. Better construct... | |
| New TT for ~$1500 @thecarpathian It irks me too but Chakster is Russian. I bet his English is better than your Russian! | |
| New TT for ~$1500 I'd go for a Technics 1200GR. Save a little longer. You know why? Because if you go the cheaper route with those belt drives, you will be back here in 6 months with a new post looking to upgrade to a table in the ~$2000 range.The Technics will giv... | |
| What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature @handymann World's apart but not so different. My first 'system' was a cassette tape player with an 8" speaker I took from an old tube Pilot radio and installed into a hole in the sheetrock. |
