| Cleaning Records Jfrech suggested the Premier record cleaner and I would agree with him. I use it in conjunction with a Sota record cleaner. I pretreat with the Premier and then use the Sota cleaning fluid.I have been quite surprised by how well this product works... | |
| Dark and laid back vs bright and forward Many of these terms are difficult to understand without having some 'authority' providing precise definitions. Robert Harley attempted to present a little clarity in his book; "The Complete Guide to Highend Audio." I know a lot of people don't rea... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. I would meditate, but it's hard to sit right now. | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Kemp, another thing occured to me. There is a product for sale through several of the companies which sell new vinyl. Try www.amusicdirect.com It is called 'Premier' and it works great for cleaning old, and seemingly abused LPs. I have been using ... | |
| Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker clbeanz, the room is about 7H x 14W x 22D. I know these dimensions can be problematic, but I think I've tamed a good deal of the concerns with room treatments.I think the speakers could be used in a much larger room without any real limitations pl... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Motdathird, a very well reasoned response.I have had many CDP's over the last 20 years and yes I've had nearly as many TT's In my own mind the upgrade was about equal each time I bought a better TT I bought a better CDP also. Right now I have abou... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Because they sound better! | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? I'd rather get all of the music and a little hiss from time to time rather than part of the music with a little hiss. Why is it the CDophiles are willing to pay full price for part of the product???I bought a couple of new LPs this week and was li... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound I could not disagree more. Speakers are very important in a system, but I think they are nearly the least important link in the chain.I would side with those who elevate the importance of the source. Speakers will never sound better than the signa... | |
| Sony SS-M9-P Stereophile Review You now have access to the review. For the other half of your question; I have the SS M9B, not the SS M9P. The P designates the 'piano' finish, mine are the black wood grain finish.I think I mentioned these speakers to you once before, but I could... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Where do I get in line?!? | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? inpepinnovations@ I'm sure you understand that I am not talking about tape hiss. As Tom and Marty pointed out, tape hiss is audible on CDs to, but it is not part of the recording, it is a fault of the recording medium. As people have gained a bett... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Sean is right on with his comments. The issue is not LPs it is more likely the LPs you have. I have LPs that are decades old and still sound very good. Many LPs that people played for years without any proper care are going to sound 'beat', becaus... | |
| What was your greatest epiphany? Only a couple of days ago I removed a pair of stillpoint bearings ($275.00) from under my amp, and replaced them with a pair of BBC brass cones. My mouth dropped open when I heard how much better the brass cones sounded. It wasn't due to the signi... | |
| Where do you draw the line??? Ozfly you might be right. I was trying to get to the core beliefs about which people are unwilling to compromise, at least until proven wrong as Tom suggests.All of us have to approach this hobby with certain ideals that allowed us to even purchas... |
