| Is there somewhere I can check vinyl sound quality? Looks like hisonvinyl.com is no more.This is what is was like:http://web.archive.org/web/*/hisonvinyl.comSeems like they moved here: https://www.facebook.com/HowItSoundsonVinyl/No posts - DOA. | |
| Old vs. new What they said. Many old records from the golden age of vinyl sound way better than anything recorded now. And many originals sound better than repressings. My feeling is that once any recording is digitized for remastering, the essential essence ... | |
| new york city audio show 2018 @bdp24 From Stereophile:" Quad decided to paint them gray when it was discovered that the gleam of raw poly was visible through the grille. The treble panel's dustcover escaped that indignity owing to the fear that the weight of the paint woul... | |
| new york city audio show 2018 @bdp24 My grilles are black and literally perfect. I'm afraid the attic temp fluctuations would warp them. I have the bass panel rear pads out but left the treble panels one in. Have you removed that too? My mylar dustcovers are sprayed matt grey.... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? @jperry Thanks Jim. Yes. I've since changed the AS idler for an Artisan Fidelity wheel. Not cheap at $400 inc. shipping and not as dramatic an improvement as the AS over the rubber original. Nevertheless, it tuned and brought more air to the bass ... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? @stringreen I don't care. They weren't criticizing, they were critiquing. Which is fine by me. Anyhow that was 2 years ago. I now know my rig sounds as good as many costing a lot more. | |
| What tonearm will better mine? Found this post and wanted to update it. Ended up upgrading a while back to a Jelco TK-850L 12". I covered my experience in another thread. Suffice to say, the 850 is in a different league than the 750. | |

| new york city audio show 2018 Unless you are in the Quad 57 sweet spot, it will and did sound muffled. | |
| Best wood under audio components? You should have included all the info in the first post!I use a 1 cm thick piece of solid walnut glued on top of the birch ply plinth for one of my 401 turntables. It sounds great. See systems. I use wenge for my armboards on the recommendation of... | |
| new york city audio show 2018 Stereophile report from Jim Austin. | |
| Best wood under audio components? Depends what components and whether you are trying to damp the sound. Check out the comparitive hardness of woods here.The harder the wood, the "harder" the sound. By harder, I mean more focussed, detailed and perhaps brighter. The softer woods wi... | |
| new york city audio show 2018 And... at the end of the day... just fired up my system. Buddy Tate Live at Sandy’s 1978. Better sounding than anything I heard at the show. | |
| new york city audio show 2018 Agreed. Hate that hotel (and we stayed there.) @robyatt Robin Wyatt’s room was fun with some great music and demos using mono recordings on a Technics SL10 Mk2 and Quad ESL57s. The highlight for me by far. Chad Nessem from Acoustic Sounds also dem... | |
| new york city audio show 2018 I attended and had fun. But, man, it was SMALL. |
