| How does this forum feel about original house music and live DJing? @theinternationaldjcasper We all wish we were younger! | |
| How does this forum feel about original house music and live DJing? Looks like one post new user spam but I’ll bite. I like it. Your videos sound good. However, as this forum is centered on recorded music and the equipment to replay it to the highest fidelity, it may not be on the radar of members. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @middlemass I’d no idea they have a reissue with a gatefold cover - surely not the original? I love my original in almost mint condition. Is nothing sacred?! Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time 2023 LP Gatefold New Mixes by Steven Wilson Atom... | |
| Headshell suggestion for my Pioneer PL600 (dir drive)? @lewm I regret sending my Yamamato carbon fiber one back. That way I could retest it and see how it rolled off my highs. It was great in the bass though. I've always wanted to try this. Should have bought one when they were under $400 a few years ... | |
| Thinking of upgrading LOL | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @ghdprentice Speaking of automobiles, you can get a new Lexus RX350 or Volvo XC90 for the price of that turntable. We both know what is value for money and what isn't. The beauty of my well-fettled vintage gear is in the maximal bang for the buck ... | |
| HELP ... What NEW tubes would you select for a Manley Stingray? Tung-Sol 7189 worth a try. New TS reissues are solid. | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition The Linn 50th, is say $15K for nostalgia. And then there are the @noromance types that have old stuff and think it doesn’t get better. @ghdprentice You kill me! I hope you have the V6 Lexus and not that awful new 4 pot turbo. The white LP12-50... | |
| I NEED A 16 INCH CORK TURNTABLE MAT @autospec Vincent, good to hear. What tables are you working on? | |
| Headshell suggestion for my Pioneer PL600 (dir drive)? I found that carbon fiber and wood add colorations—you don’t need the added complexity especially when trying a new cartridge. Is that due to the sonics or cost (or some other reason)? | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? If you are unwilling or unable to seek out a Decca Super Gold, +1 Nagaoka MP500. Also look at the Audio-Technica AT150ANV if you want detail and open-window clarity. I recall Fremer giving it very high marks. The Grado and Goldring (Audionote) are... | |
| Headshell suggestion for my Pioneer PL600 (dir drive)? Magnesium alloy LP Gear Zupreme at around $90. Avoid cheaper steel ones. The AT suggested above looks to have a very short body and will be a drag to connect. I would avoid carbon fiber and wood at this point. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? This is just too open-ended. Here goes: $100k Rockport. | |
| How Do Amps Affect Soundstage? I've all tubes. I do find that they have a more pronounced three dimensional soundstage. It could be that they simply have a lower noise floor—allowing the tiny signals necessary for the most nuanced sound cues through. It could also be that the g... | |
| Which phono stage for Garrard 401 with Shure V15 lll cartridge @bdp24 Free the Decca by NOT loading it down. Some say run it wide open at 1Megohm. I’ve not tried that. I do run 51k and 47k. I tried 33k and 27k and it lost a little life and air. My guess is that unstable, loose, or cheaper bearings of yore le... |
