| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve Hillage - Live Herald (Virgin 1979)How can it be 40 years since I bought this when it was released? I can smell the reefer. | |
| Turntable for a Newbie! @lalitk Your system is absolutely beautiful. Check out my turntable in systems. That’s the minimum you need to do justice to your rig. It is also possible that your gear will show up the shortcomings of lower-end turntables... | |
| Turntable for a Newbie! Agreed, but the Pioneer is half the price of the cheapest Technics. A word of warning to the OP. "Experiencing vinyl" is not inexpensive. It really only comes into its own at a much higher price point. So when you hear about all the good things, c... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Well the question than is how the same object can ''have'' and ''not have'' the same proporties? Schrödinger's headshell? | |
| Turntable for a Newbie! Pioneer PLX1000 with a Nagaoka MP150 is my standard recommendation at this price point. Upgrading the cartridge ’down the road’ to a MP500 will yield results. You might also look at a Technics SL1200GR if you want to invest a little more. Resale s... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Still following with interest. I'm trying to find time to listen on my digital rig. Will try for tonight. @halcro I have not forgot the headshell issue 😉 | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. ’Not really’ means that taste and cultural preferences are not relevant to the actual sound quality. I am rejecting that as a factor in the equation. My hypothesis is thus: Unless there are physiological and/or psycho-acoustic reasons, the quality... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @nandric Not sure what cultural and musical preferences have to do with sound perception especially in relation to others on this thread.Truth and value statements may seem at odds with each other but what is the truth here? Is the headshell truly... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. De gustibus non est disputandum!But not really.There have to be other phenomena at work here. I do not believe the disparity of human physiology can be so diverse that we hear so differently. But not really.Maybe neural density of the brain accoun... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Thanks again @chakster .There are two questions raised in this whole quandary. 1. What is the quality of the sound produced in a system where the damping is such that the music appears to be either bright, lively, detailed, and transparent or soun... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Thanks @chakster and @lewm Yes, I'm aware of the differences. | |
| Speakers For Restored Scott Integrated Amp What about Zu? https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/omen-dirty-weekend-2 | |
| Ethernet cable vs wifi for high definition audio streaming If you can run on ethernet, make sure you're using a gigabit router. While a direct run is preferable, you can insert a gigabit network switch (not a hub) to "split" the data. | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators I should add that, for my own listening pleasure, I'll take the crackle with the additional transparency over suppression/processing. | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators I heard the Sweet Vinyl at AXPONA and was suitably impressed. We did AB testing and while I could hear a difference, it was not significant - a very slight veiling when click suppressed. . |
