| if you did buy the new schiit sol....... Per my post above, I'm amused to see that Schiit are using a Decca Maroon ($1000) on their demo at RMAF. | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl MC comes out with guns blazing!I guess sales are good and artists are ensuring they have new vinyl releases. The one thing I noticed at AXPONA and NY Audio Show was that the best sounding rooms or sessions were when a turntable was in use. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All (Discreet 1975)I played this twice. Once with my Decca Gold (newly retipped Decapod Garrot Microscanner) and then with my Decca Super Gold with a Paratrace tip.It was as if I listened to two different recordings. Nuts. | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Apart from all the other reasons you mentioned, my reason is simple. Original well-recorded analogue records sound better than any reissues. Warts and all, there is a see-through clarity with the originals. | |
| if you did buy the new schiit sol....... It screams for a London/Decca but they’re not inexpensive. I heard it at AXPONA with a Nagaoka MP11 and their set up video uses a Grado Black(?). What I heard was a somewhat clear but mellow sound. With the Grado, which can be even more laid back,... | |
| RMAF 2019 PS Audio AN3 loudspeaker They are redesigned. Totally. And possibly $20k. | |

| Turntable and pre-amp advice sought You might also add the new Schiit Sol turntable at $799 or $928 inc. Mani phono amp to your options. Order direct with 15 day return. 11" arm included. All aluminium and made in USA. No cheapo MDF or acrylic. I heard the prototype at AXPONA. | |
| Phono stage for my system? Or buy a Schiit Mani for $149 and an Ortofon 2M Red for $99 for a shorter-term big upgrade. | |
| Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers @asvjerry No kidding. The worst thing an audience member can do for me is that dang whistle. As well as being deafening, there are catelogs of ruined live recordings sometimes all due to one guy who won't shut up. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw No problem. Hopefully all is good. Wishing you the best. It's not easy getting older.----------------------------Jefferson Airplane - Flight Log (Grunt 1977)Jorma Kaukonen With Tom Hobson - Quah (Grunt 1974) | |
