| Goodbye Everyone @mijostyn In my younger days, I had an OM2 which was a great camera. Then a Pentax K1000 which I loved but it was fussy on autofocus, and a Nikon F2. Man, film was a drag waiting for the prints at the store. We developed our own monos. | |
| Goodbye Everyone That’s a serious commitment, Elliot! Nice photos. My first foray into DPR was a Cybershot in 2002! Have a (lower end) Nikon 5100 and Canon Xti with a bunch of lenses. I rarely use them anymore. https://www.dpreview.com/products/sony/compacts/so... | |

| Spendor SP 1/2e....TECH HELP NEEDED! Is it possible a crossover is at fault? And not a driver? My SP2/2 are 35 years old and drivers are working great (ESL57 owner) | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? +1 @mahgister Nicely written. My constraint is guided by my internal bang for the buck barometer using components that provide the best possible sound for the investment. I could allocate more resources to the higher end but there is no need. I've... | |
| Goodbye Everyone @elliottbnewcombjr Delighted to hear dpreview is still going. I thought it was gone. What a truly great database. We need the hi-fi equivalent. | |
| A very weird (to me) issue with an Audible Illusions Modulus L2B ... Lordy. Or he could have put on his seat-belt and potentially saved EMS having to untangle his remains from a tree. Without "gov’t meddling," no one could walk away from a 30mph crash in an unmeddled sedan unharmed. Complain about government interf... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? So too are pride, greed, and avarice. Envy is a terrible vice. | |
| Floating ground in the apt. Building Can 5" of wire in the ground make that much of an impact on sound quality? Apparently, it can. You've done the experiment. | |
| WOOD SURROUND for Audio Technica AT120; Technics 1200 and Technics 1210 The turntable seems to sit in the plinth. I wonder it it affects the sound. They look great. | |
| Fading Background Vocals Conundrum Okay, so OP’s boo-boo not withstanding, I can’t agree with @ghdprentice on his analysis. Fine details like a vocal line becoming recessed would indicate a failure to retrieve vital detail within the track. And blaming a system that does retrieve t... | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? Turntable grease bearing takes 20 minutes to "warm up." By the time that’s done, all tube amps (RIAA/preamp/monoblocs) are ready to go. While things are technically available after 2 minutes, sound opens up and has more musical coherence after 20 ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Good to know. Following up on HollyG., I'm diggin' her solo albums now after years of preferring Holly G and The Brokeoffs. Your note made me take a deeper dive. | |
| Need help with a fuse 1 amp fast blow. F = FAST ACTING 1a or 1A = AMP RATING l or L = Low Breaking Capacity | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dave Brubeck Quartet- Time Out (Columbia 1959 mono) Comparing this recording to a circa 2020 180grm state of the art jazz album shows how much we have lost. 60 years later and the new one sounds muffled and veiled. |
