| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @ astewart8944334 BTW I believe @audioengr Steve N. has noted elsewhere that WAV files sound better than FLAC files. I'll have to re-rip a couple of my CDs to WAV and give it listen. I hope I can't hear a difference because I dread the though... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming I often compare a vinyl track against MQA, ripped CD, and Tidal High Res. To 70 year old ears, vinyl sounds the most natural and the best. I rate DSD straight through to my MyTek Liberty DAC second, and in some cases first. Tidal MQA through a NA... | |
| Technics SL-1200G Anti-Skating Thank you both! The Sound Smith video was very informative. I'm going to try this method later today. | |
| The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why? I have a Technics SL-1200G and SL-1600-MK2. I've had the 1600-MK2 for about 35 years and it's still going strong. I use an Ortofon Blue with it. The 1600 is a fully automatic TT, which I love. The 1600 can't touch the 1200G (with Ortofon ... | |
| Modern speaker comparable to Tannoy R3? A used pair of Tannoy 8 dcti or 10 dcti, if you can find them, would serve you well. I have 8 dcti’s and love them. | |

| Onzow Stylus Tip Cleaner @sbank I was using Blu-Tack like you use ME. I've never used ME, but I believe Blu-Tack worked fine.Ortofon support new nothing about Onzow's "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by ortofon" claim and cautioned me about using the product. For that reason alone,... | |
| Onzow Stylus Tip Cleaner Thanks everyone. This has been very enlightening. I'll stick to my dry brush and send the Onzow cleaner back to Amazon. | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ @thyname. I don’t use social media at all. It’s just not my thing.@ctsooner. The Zenith can rip to WAV or FLAC, I ripped my entire CD library to FLAC. I’ll have to rip a couple to WAV to see if I can hear a difference. Would converting FLAC to... | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ @thyname. I purchased my demo Zenith and WireWorld cables from Command Performance AV. Good group of guys.@ctsooner. Why WAV? What’s the benefit? | |
| Reel to Reel Tape I’ve used a dbx 224 noise reduction unit and dbx 3bx range expander with a Teac X10R reel-to-reel for about 35 years. Recording vinyl through the 224 makes the playback tape hiss free and to my ears the reel sounds better than the original. When... | |
| Reel to Reel Tape I’ve been using a dbx 224 and dbx 3bx with a Teac X-10R for about 35 years. I love the sound. I’ve had the heads replaced twice and have tried to maintain it in near mint condition.Unfortunately, I had about 30 Ampex reels go bad from age before... | |
| Vinyl playback is still a secret I had about 1200 albums sitting in my store room for about 15 years. CDs, Squeezebox streaming, and my NAS iTunes library kept me going for a very long time - occasionally, I spin an album or two.I resurrected my vinyl collection and bought a who... | |
| My Experience with Dave from Audio Doctor NJ ctsooner: Guys, digital is a strange beast and most folks just don’t want to spend the time to ask the right questions or do it correctly. Strange beast no doubt!! When first indulging in any endeavor, such as digital music, I think most people do... | |
