| Whats on your turntable tonight? Shadows: Foot tapper EP. One of the first records I bought. Still marvellously fresh, brings me right back to the early sixties.And - not just tonight, but the last two weeks: the remastered 1970-75 Genesis box, expensive, but very good. To my ear... | |
| Budget Turntable Like many others I started with a VPI HW-19. Starting from there, and assuming he will soon look for more records, he won't reach top level, but it is possible to get a lot of good sound for not so much money (especially, if he is willing to tweak... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I am very happy with my Aesthetix Io mk2 with volume, going direct to my amp, especially after I got a new set of tubes from Aesthetix. Blends well with the Krell. A friend has a Manley Steelhead and a good tube amp, going the other way so to spea... | |
| Small hi-res player? No answer, so I'll report my own findings. First, if you haven't tried listening to vinyl outdoors, try it. Cheaper than a health studio. The sweet spot no longer means only the listening chair. Cowon's new O2 player is supposed to be able to play... | |
| Can digitizing vinyl match CD? Anyone know of a decent little player for running etc that can play 24/96? | |
| Small hi-res player? Thanks Marakanetz, the Apogee looks nice. My question was for a different product, however, a music player for travelling, running etc. Is it hard to make them take 24/96 or higher sound formats, or is it just branch inertia we are seeing here? | |
| Can digitizing vinyl match CD? Just to confirm that even using a cheap (not crap) Creative audigy notebook card, I get better music from my vinyl than I do from CD. Even though I have to downsample from 24/96 to 16/44. My main issue, now, is why there are no small players able ... | |
| Io line out mod? Audiophile digital recording updateI am now quite happy using the following system for recording (analog to digital). I use a (thinkpad) laptop as controller and archiver, together with a Creative Audiogy Nx separate box, whith a 96/24-capable DAC... | |
| Io line out mod? I've now discussed various options with Glenn and Jim Aesthetix - a big plus for customer service, even for second-hand owners - thanks. And with others. What it boils down to is this. I write it here since it may be of interest to other purist an... | |
| Io line out mod? Thanks, will try. | |
| Io line out mod? I need to reach J White and Aesthetix directly to deal with this in the best way. Can anyone help me?Thanks, Oystein | |
| Io line out mod? Thanks a lot, especially Jafox, and also Gerrym5. Living far away., with huge shipment cost, I think about doing this myself. If it doesn't work I can remove it. Tell you more when i've tried it. Greetings, Oystein. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Microstrip brings more user experience into this thread - experience much in line with my own. When you get these speakers to work, you dont want to part with them. My Krell fpb600 is a good match, although not perfect. I want to thank the contrib... | |
| Aesthetix Io won't start... Great to get this kind of help in a forum. Perhaps Aesthetix users could help make a troubleshooting list. for example, how long before reconnecting the power cables, how to search for tube errors, how to replace fuses. Silly me, I didn't catch up... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, A follow up here. I found no dealer in Oslo with a big tube amp, willing to let me try it. Also, dragging 80 kgs is a big burden. Better, then, to listen to others who have tried this, before investing a lot of time and a poor back (prolapsis in 9... |
